how long will this last in the refrigerator?
and how many calories if I use water or almond milk?
Hello Karen – the overnight oats base will last about 4 days (just add the apples right when you are going to eat this as this will ensure freshness). you could also make half the recipe if you only want to make half at a time. This recipe is meant to serve cold but you could see what it tastes like warmed up. This recipe wouldn’t work well with water as needs the creaminess of milk, yogurt or a dairy free milk such as almond milk so for sure use a dairy free beverage such as almond milk. The nutrition analysis using almond milk is added to the blog now but is as follows:
