Overnight oats seems like an easy healthy way to eat breakfast consistently but unfortunately I saw this tweet once and now I can't bring myself to make them

I prepare them sometimes and they are delicious. I usually add some milk and a splash of marple syrup. I also like to add the fruits in the morning so they don't get too soggy. But I never tried with frozen fruit before and coincidentally I have a couple of bags on the fridge so guess I'm eating overnight oats tomorrow :)
Yessir!!
I eat my version of overnight oats every day.
Mostly my base is Greek yogurt, and I'll put a scoop of protein powder in and a splash of milk so it's not too thick.
I sometimes throw cocoa in it, but usually I'll throw some fruit preserves and honey in it. My wife can't understand how I eat basically the same thing every day but I love it.
I'll actually use quick oats and make it in the morning before work and eat it for lunch
Every once in a while I try overnight oats, and every time it feels like I'm eating wet cement. I love regular oats in the morning, but I can't get over the glue and powder mouth feel of overnight oats. Any trick around that?
I cook my oats so the spoon can stand up in it. But that does not work for over-night. I think you need more milk/yogurt.
Also, usually you put in oats and pour milk and yogurt on top and let it sort out itself. I once saw a recipe that said to stir it all. You can try that too.
I also like overnight oats, your version sounds great.
I just want to call out that both rolled barley and rolled rye are very similar to oats in texture and prep. The barley has a much lighter flavor and rye has a nice burst of flavor, I like to mix a bit into oats for some variety.
