1 Non-reactive jar or bowl, any non-reactive container will work, just make sure that it has a tight-fitting lid to keep the oats fresh as they soak overnight.

Notes
Milk alternatives – I typically use unsweetened almond milk to soak oats overnight, but the one you use is ultimately a personal preference. Regular cow’s milk, coconut milk, soy milk, and oat milk are good alternatives.
Protein powder substitution – If you want to omit the protein powder without sacrificing the extra protein, substitute 3/4 cup Greek yogurt. This adds about 15 grams of protein and makes overnight oats extra creamy and flavorful.
