Oh wow, look at you Mr. Fancy Foresight. Overnight oats. I'm sooo impressed. Hey, asshole, why don't you make your oats in the morning like the rest of us? Noooo, you have to make them overnight. And what's worse, you have to make sure we all know about it. "What's that you've got for breakfast Ron?" "Oh these? These are my overnight oats!"

Fuuuuck you.

Even if you did make some overnight oats just say oats. What, do you want some kind of an award for making oats overnight? It's not an accomplishment. It's not something to be proud of. But you just can't resist telling us about it, can you? No, you've got to make sure I'm out screwing up, wrecking my life, and then you have the gall to rub it in. Mr. Overnight Oats... go fuck yourself!
 
I eat oatmeal almost every day. I put it in the microwave, take it out 75 seconds later, stir in some cinnamon, and eat it in about thirty seconds. I have no idea why people will spend three times that just prepping so they can wake up and eat cold oatmeal that tastes vaguely like dessert.

But the total variety of foods I eat at home is under 20. Not counting salt and hot sauce. There are three or four foods that I eat in restaurants. I’ve given up on the whole food-is-art thing that has become huge industry. The way I see it, most people survived on a few staples for millenia. Many still do. If they can do it so can I. I’m thinner, healthier, and I feel great. And it saves a lot of money.
 
With overnight oats, they soak in the fridge for 6-8 hours, in milk or water. That means they’re cold in the morning. Who the hell wants to eat cold oatmeal?! If you have to warm it up in the microwave, there is no advantage. The overnight oatmeal concept must be for people without microwave ovens.

There are a plethora of cereals that work with cold milk. Oatmeal is not one of them. Cold oatmeal is wrong period!
 
I have mine in bowl with spoon in under 2 minutes. Sugar and melted butter included.

If I'm going to judge and name-call someone over a cereal grass, that's not my choice.
What about that jerk-off oat farmer who thought sowing oats is a metaphor for young men banging lots of women to get it out of their system?

Pudding? PUDDING!!!

Flashback to a kid at work googling "Healthy breakfast." As part of a well regarded, nationally recognised life skills qualification that I loved delivering back in the day.

'overnight chia pudding" popped up as his suggested recipe and he was not to be swayed. I was sourcing (and paying for!) him to make a dozen chia puddings for his classmates who had otherwise done semi healthy stuff like beans on toast, or toasted cheese, or toast with butter, or dry toast (no fried chicken), or untoasted bread with cheese.

understandably not a single kid tried this weird biege stuff with little black things floating around in it. I did, trying to galvanise the troops and had a bowl to no avail and it tasted of nothing. If that's super food I'll stick to my dry toast.

"HOW CAN YOU HAVE YER MEAT IF DON'T EAT YER CHIA PUDDIN'?" Probably the finest teacher patter I've ever came out with in almost 2 decades in the game - the kids had noi dea what I was on about and my support assistant was an old punk so it totally went over his head.

There are lots of good ways to work chia seeds into food if the food is good to begin with. The problem is getting the seeds out of your teeth after.
