Storage Tips
This oatmeal recipe is so easy and quick to make that you should plan on making it as needed. Still, because it is so satisfying, you may wind up with leftovers. Here’s how to keep them from being wasted.
- Fridge: While your chia seed oatmeal will last for up to 5 days in the fridge, try to eat it the next day for the best flavors. You’ll want to store any remainder in an airtight container for the best taste.
- Freeze: Yes, you can freeze it, too, if you like. Some people do it for meal prep or to keep from wasting food. You’ll want an airtight container here too, and you should make sure to use it within 3 months. You can then serve it as hot oatmeal or even cold oatmeal for a treat.
