Pointing out the eco-friendliness 💯 Especially with such easy meals like overnight oats, thank you 🙏
Haha your tasting is always my fav part of your vids 😂 taking the biggest possible bite, because you can't wait to taste the flavour and then not able to speak:) that's so funny:))
Wow... I had been paying $5 for Mush Overnight Oats, and had no idea it was this easy. Thanks a million!
This made my day - glad the video was helpful!
lol
I live right down the street from a place called Grocery Outlet that is AMAZING. They have MUSH for $1.99 each, which I think is a great deal. But what Geoffrey said early really hit me - think of all of that plastic and how bad it is for the environment. Today's MUSH is the last one. I have oats. I have maple syrup. I have chia seeds, blueberries, pecans, and walnuts. I'm just missing coconut milk (as per MUSH's ingredients, anyway). I'm avoiding dairy, so I won't be using regular milk or yogurt.
I just want to say, "THANK YOU!" Not only did you made it simple, you give the encouragement to do this.
Glad this was helpful!
Thanks so much for this video! I ordered a ton of Oats Overnight to get ideas for my own flavors and ingredients, and I'm testing some dupes now. I really like that they're shelf-stable and that I don't have to do any measuring every two - three days to have oats ready every morning.
Going to try to make my own packets in large batches so I'm prepped for a month. HUGE step up from Carnation Instant Breakfast, which was the only way I could get myself to eat breakfast in the past.
I hadn’t realized people bought them pre-made! We’ve been doing it old school for six or seven years. I like them more than my husband, but we both like blitzing them (maybe a different ratio) in the blender for a smoothie. Pinterest was my go-to then, but if “the kids” are spending $1500 a year on this, I’m glad you’re showing them how to save most of that. I think you can pick up those mason jars for next to nothing, too, which is also greener than pre-packaged. Thank you for some new recipes. I’m partial to blueberry maple and vanilla peach and Pb (powder) and berries. I’m think amarena cherries and almond would be great.
It always surprises me what "the kids" will spend money on 😉 I'll have to try your recommendation of blueberry-maple -- it sounds incredible!
Thank you for sharing. I loved the video's end when you showed the finished products, tried them, and provided commentary on each flavor.
Thanks for this! I've been eating Mush every once in a while, but have been uncomfortable about all the plastic. I would LOVE to see you recreate their coffee and coconut cream flavor!
I got an ad for one of these and clicked on them and then jaw went to the floor when I saw the cost...I eat oatmeal every morning for so much less than over $3 per portion, crazy stuff.
Been working for Costco since 1995.
We sell Organic oats 😋 for next to nothing compared to these rip off companies!! Ball Mason jars one time investment. So easy way less waste.
People are so lazy today. It's slick marketing. If you do it right an old timer told me, you can sell snow ❄️ to Eskimos! Peace
I love your videos! You're so thorough and explain everything so well. I much rather watch you than any chef on tv. Please keep the great content going, it's much appreciated!
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content 😄
This recipe is so easy! Love it -- thank you for making this video and for the easy to read recipe images!
Glad you enjoyed this and happy the recipe images are helpful :)
This was an awesome video! Thanks for the base recipe and for the ideas! I think I'm gonna try the apple one :D
Thx for sharing! Would love to see you do a version of vanilla bean too..
Your overnight oats are a lot fancier than mine, I need to step up my game! My biggest surprise here is that people buy Overnight Oats products, there's really not much simpler you can do for breakfast. I saved a lot of money, on buying breakfast on the way to work once I started doing these.
I also find it surprising the people pay for overnight oats! I think all these ads have convinced people that it's complicated to do (which it's clearly not). I love having a homemade breakfast -- I'd rather save money on functional meals and splurge on a night-out for something more special :) Thanks for watching!
Good job on this! Thank you
I've always been reluctant to try overnight oats as I'm not a huge fan of traditional oatmeal unless its those crappy instant packet types. But I recently picked up some Mush from Costco (albeit much cheaper than their website) and was subsequently hooked on them. Wasn't able to find it in store last time I checked, and have been looking for a recipe most similar to theirs, so thank you! I'm so excited to try the blueberry and pumpkin pie ones! The added savings and lack of wasteful packaging are a definite plus.
Hope you enjoy making these! The pumpkin pie is definitely my favorite 🤤
Thanks for listing the recipe for all the over night oats
love this! mush is SO expensive
Nice recipe!
I was looking for an Oats Overnight diy and most videos are sponsored and not helpful. Thank you, I’ll try these!
Glad this was helpful for you!
They all look yummy. Ty
Great video! I literally looked at the back and was like I'm not pay all this money for a simple snack.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 👍🏾❤👍🏾
I love the dark chocolate flavor of mush. Man, it's my favorite. Trader Joe's has a cheaper overnight oats option - also good. I want to experiment with my own stuff but Dark chocolate Mush is soooo good and I am afraid to even try replicate it lol. I already bought the date nectar (mush says to contain dates), vanilla bean paste and some good cocoa. I will try, and hopefully, I will hit that same flavor.
The date nectar is tasty! I bought the “Just Dates” brand when making Brussels sprouts last fall. Ended up using it in coffee and oat recipes too. I think it’s a good sub for any liquid sweetener (honey, agave, corn syrup, etc)
any luck replicating it? im about to try to myself!!
THX!!
Amazing recipe! I know you mentioned you can make a large batch and portion it out for the flavors. Do you haven to have the recipe for a batch that will perhaps last you the 3 days? Thanks again!
I don’t have a batch recipe written, but if you take the “base” recipe and multiply out the oats, seeds, and liquid that’ll get you to a solid foundation. The recipe is really unfussy, so you can kind of eyeball and approximate ingredients and still get a good result. When I make a big batch I just dump ingredients without measuring. Err on the side of not adding enough liquid; if too thick in the morning, it’s easy to adjust with some extra to thin it down slightly.
Thank you very much for this. I have been buying mush and found that i really like the pudding consistency. How much do the dates play into that, or is it the combination of almond butter and almond milk? Thanks
Where do u get the lids that fit in the mason jar? Do u have a link??
Such an awesome video! Have you experimented with adding protein powder a la oats overnight? I am wondering if I would need to add more liquid, even if I still wanted a creamy texture like what you made.
Yes! Protein powder works well - either vanilla or chocolate depending on what you’re making. Definitely add extra liquid to keep the consistency how you like it (I’ve found 2-4oz generally works well).
Thanks so much! Putting together a peanut butter chocolate flavor tonight!
How many ounces is the Mason jar you use for the overnight oats?
Has anyone tried making a batch and freezing them? I would love to be able to make a ton of them at once and thaw them in the fridge as I go.
For the blueberry recipe do you let the blueberries thaw out some before adding them to the oats?
Yes for the flavor to seep and that there's no water
Hi there thank you for these recipes, quick questions, do you know the ration would be is using cold brew coffee? figured i would ask before trying a coffee flavor since it is liquid im assuming it may effect milk amount used, right?
If you're going for a coffee-flavored oat, I'd keep the volume of liquid the same, but sub it with the same amount of cold brew (and any cream if you want it). Alternatively, you could add instant coffee or espresso to the milk product that you're using, which would allow you to get a more-intense flavor without having the texture thin out too much.
@@GeoffreyAlan Would it be okay to make half the liquid coffee the other half coconut milk? equaling the 1/2 cup milk you suggested. Im sorry if this is a dumb question I may have read it wrong lol
Can you make a a version of this that can go in a blender bottle? One that can be drank instead of eaten. More similar to the oats overnight product that contains protein.
I'll experiment and see what I can come up with! Initially I think this recipe + a scoop of protein powder + an additional ~cup of liquid would yield a drinkable protein-oat beverage after sitting over night.
Geoffrey Alan I would love to see the wonderful recipes that you come up with !!😋
@@GeoffreyAlan Do you think using instant oats instead might make it more "drinkable"?
is this very difficult to market? some help to last more than 3 days
Overnight oats are about 3.50 each.
Just had a question since you mentioned that these overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for upto 3 days. Then how does much keep their products at different departmental stores for a month ?
Some of the grocery store versions (e.g.: Quaker overnight oats) are just dry ingredients and you add the liquid, so the shelf life is that of a normal dry good (many months). If they’re a fully prepared with liquid, they may have preservatives (natural or artificial) or be pasteurized to eliminate any contamination that would make them go off more quickly. Realistically the homemade ones are probably fine longer than The 4 days I recommended, but I don’t have a way to test for food safety, so I’m ultra-conservative. In the restaurant industry, you’re normally given 3-5 days on prepared foods like sauces, but lots of factors could affect shelf life. Hope that helps!
Hi Ritika, Mush uses a method called HPP (high pressure processing), which, as the name suggests, is a process of pasteurisation by high pressure (versus the more common heat pasteurisation method). This gives their product a shelf life of about 90 days or so.
I'll be honest. I don't have the energy to prep anything. I'd love to save money, but between depression, anxiety, zero energy, etc... I'll have to stick to premade / ready stuff for me. And I've tried to do it all on my own, I really have. I'm just being honest with myself lol.
100% I've been there myself. When I'm feeling up to it, I try to batch as much as I can and freeze individual portions. It's hard though when you're not feeling in a good place. Take care!
What size mason jars do you use for this recipe?
These were 8oz jars, which works well for single servings to take in the go.
I’ve also made a big batch in a Rubbermaid container and just scooped out servings into a bowl. If you’re eating it at home, one big container is my preference vs the jars.
@@GeoffreyAlan Thank you
Looking good my friend the problem is You're talking about buying a bunch of ingredients and mixing them all together not exactly convenient and anybody that's bought dri Fruit anything knows It is expensive . I'm not a cook . I'm more interested of having only one dirty spoon and 1 shaker container to wash You're paying for convenience In your case you're working in paying for awesomeness You can make mine any time
This is pretty easy to make in bulk and store for ahead of time too. Definitely up to you but over time you'll save lots of money by making it yourself (even with dried fruits!)
Costco Organic oats!! Buy the larger
Mason jars! This guy is a soy 🤣 boy!
Love his super white teeth!
What do you use to get that fake white smile
Nothing worse then someone that can’t spell Jeff
