How it works

One ratio. Endless jars.

Half a cup of oats, half a cup of liquid, a quarter cup of yoghurt. Master that and you can make any recipe on the site.

1
Combine tonight
Add your oats, milk or Rooibos, yoghurt and flavours to a jar. Stir well so every oat is coated. Two minutes, tops.
2
Sleep on it
Seal the lid and refrigerate. The oats soften, the yoghurt thickens, the flavours meld. The fridge does all the work overnight.
3
Top and go
Open the fridge, add fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey, and eat from the jar. Breakfast, sorted, before you are even properly awake.
