Love this! Great video for my overnight oats repertoire; great ideas that I have not encountered yet. Thank you!

[@1986xuan]

Thank you for the video recipe! I am following yours tonight! :D

[@Nancy-zi6kd]

Thanks for this great recipe!!

[@azncowman]

Haven't thought about mixing up the protein first, gonna try that tomorrow! Luckily have some spare oreos lying around too. Thanks!

[@TheFormerFatGuy]

A shaker bottle is a good idea too, a subscriber of mine gave me that idea. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the comment!

[@XTheSpartanX7]

Incredible channel. I wish you came back !

[@Stormcaller-uj2vz]

this guy's videos are actually crazy good. I don't know why more people don't watch

[@kathyms.]

Thank you! ❤

[@marcoesteban2196]

Just made these they’re delicious ! :)

[@frank_texas7400]

I ate them but changed two things, instead of using syrup i put 2 drops of maple extract and used almond milk cause that’s what I had on hand. They taste like heaven but to me they calorie to volume ratio is really bad, was hungry again in two hours, When I do a kodiak waffle and a lot of egg whites it keeps me goin until noon for the same amount of calories

[@eldybellacetin8167]

Great video

[@dollybentley4029]

This looks too delicious!! Does this work with skimmed lactose-free milk? Or would a plant based milk be better?

[@sciostarbug]

Using a food scale is the most accurate way to measure food. Sense is sense. How hard is that?

[@relax8588]

Great!

[@dizziechef9502]

I have been keto and first carnivore . I stopped losing now I’m trying a 1200 calorie daily diet. I want to see how this works. I’m not used to eating this high in carbs but I’m going to try it. I have 30 lbs to lose .

[@user-ic5ck4yq9w]

I'm definitely i dont have a scale but it's still just because is healthy

[@imtheonehero9305]

what size mason jars do you use? thank you!

[@KrispyChurro]

I think you could also just mix your protein powder up in your shaker and you’ll be fine.

[@foureyedman8224]

Can i substitute milk to water? I have lactose on milk.

[@---oq1tk]

Could I do this for 7day prep or will it go bad by that time

[@0opayo0]

For how long you can have this in the fridge?

[@marzero116]

Since you have Greek yogurt in there you can just use water milk to lower the calorie count

[@MrWWEHD17]

I mean u dont really need a bowl for that, just use ur shaker that u probably have if u have protein powder im sure u have a shaker too, shake that thing with milk and there u go, add it to the jar as u done the rest, and yes i skip the sweetener, and use not greek but a simple 0% joghurt which is almost the same with the macros with less price and i use a bunch of wild berries just for the tastes and healthy benefits.

[@kimberlyncollins7839]

Do you eat them cold? Have you ever tried to warm them up? Would flaxseeds work just as good?

[@TheFormerFatGuy]

Overnight Oats is definitely a cold meal, if you want it warm I would just go with regular oatmeal. And I'm not sure if flaxseed would work the same. The chia seeds absorb some of the milk to create the pudding like consistency but if you try flax seeds let me know if they work!

[@infntnub]

I'd argue it takes less time to do a few scrapes down the side of the jar for the protein powder than it does to use the separate bowl approach to mix it up with the milk separately - but it's not a big time saver either way. I was just surprised that was the reason for your separate bowl you noted during the intro. Otherwise, I just wanted to agree 1000% about buying a scale.

[@dustanburton713]

Seems like it would be easier to Mix the milk and protein in a shaker cup..

[@CarisaRae]

Use sprouted grains!!!

[@dexterletterman8141]

can i replace the milk with premier protein shakes?

[@__xanny8980]

Wouldn't really recommend unless you count in all the macros, fats, sugar, and protein that are all in those shakes,

[@Moheezy]

Not gonna lie bro I’m probably gonna make these tomorrow! Instead of a bowl I might just use a shaker for the protein and fairlife though 🤔. Might be quicker

[@TheFormerFatGuy]

Now that's using your brain my man, I'll definitely be using a shaker next time I make this! Let me know if you like it Vin I'm always open to feedback

[@digweed88]

Size of mason jar?

[@patrickesdam4233]

Looks like 16oz

[@dizziechef9502]

I buy 100% carnivore protein powder. I hope that works.

[@thatstheguy07]

“Sugar free maple syrup”. So what is it made out of.

[@Thomas-ts7xt]

Shit

[@thatstheguy07]

@@Thomas-ts7xt accurate

[@imsofablous]

Is protein powder a necessity?

[@Poopmyjorts]

No this exact recipe has been listed by another channel without the protien powder

[@periteu]

3:45 interesting

[@DraynorVillage]

I hate to break it to you, but that mL measurement is probably just grams…. mL is a volumetric measurement, not weight

[@DraynorVillage]

And you are correct, milk weighs more than water, but typically scales with a ml measurement is just doing grams (since 1g of water = 1ml of water)

[@ComFomeTo]

Bro really thinks it makes a difference changingthe scale to ml, Lol. The scale is only considering 1ml = 1g of water. It does not measure volume. As if the density would be that different anyways.

[@patrickesdam4233]

This guy's attitude just screams "punch me in the face"

[@tracygibson3363]

Your method of weight measurement is suspect

[@Jhelil]

Thought the same thing

[@Crazywaffle5150]

It is. Using his method you would be consuming more calories than just using the serving amounts on the packaging. Don't use 40g of chia, that's 150 calories lol. I used half.

[@semilyon123]

@@Crazywaffle5150 he measured correctly, he used 10 grams of chia seeds not 40.

[@Crazywaffle5150]

@semilyon123 Might of not heard correctly. I'll have to go back and look.

[@brsoccerstar24]

He’s using a scale to measure his ingredients which is literally the most accurate way to measure

[@Crazywaffle5150]

Did not see the point in weighing. Your recipe is more than 395 calories just using the package serving amounts. I used half the chia.
