FAQs

GENERAL

1. What's overnight oats?

Instead of cooking, the oats are soaked overnight and a "cold porridge" is created. The slow soaking process brings more nutrients, better digestion and SLOW-release energy throughout the day.

2. What’s special about your products?

• No added sugar, no sweetener.
• Plant based. Nut free Available.
• Only natural ingredients.
• Freshly handmade.
• No confusing stuff: Ingredient labels nowadays become more and more complicated. We only use food that you can also find in households. We don’t use stuff like added vitamins, natural flavors/aromas, etc. Some experts say natural flavors/aromas don't appear to be any healthier than artificial flavors. It's controversial. You don't use it in your kitchen. Neither do I.
• Everything is powered by jujube with its health benefits, sweetness, and marshmallow-like texture.

3. Do your products contain added sugar?

No, the sweet enough taste is just from the superfruit - Jujube and goji berries.

4. Are your ingredients organic or fair trade?

Currently, some of our ingredients are organic. However, difficulties in sourcing, being a small company, and trying to keep costs down for the consumer make this difficult. We are working on this.

5. Sugar, what’s the problem?

We all recognise how important it is to eat healthy. But much of the food we buy contains hidden sugar that our body doesn’t need and it’s addictive. In fact, approximately 80% of food products you find on supermarket shelves contain added sugars. The more sugar you eat, the more you crave it. And for a person who has had too much sugar over a long period of time, serious health issues can occur like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

6. Should we cut sugar out completely?

We all know this is not easy for everyone especially since nowadays dodgy sugars are everywhere. While you don’t need to avoid it completely, it should only be eaten in moderation. We’re talking about added sugar here, NOT fruit, which is so much more than just sugar; fruit is a ‘wholefood package’ wrapped in nutrients like essential vitamins and minerals, health-promoting antioxidants, and slow-to-digest, blood-sugar-stabilising fibre, and so its sugar content doesn’t have the same negative impact as straight-up sugar. The solution is to reduce added sugar consumption whenever we can. 
We have developed a range of sweet enough treats without added sugars, packed full of nutrient-dense food groups. So that you can still have sugar-free joy for your sweet craving.

 

DRIED MIX VERSION

1. How do you make it?

Just pour the pouch into the jar and fill it up with any milk. Mix evenly and put it in the fridge overnight.

2. Can I use water?

No it will significantly compromise the flavor. It's like having cereal with water – not recommended!

3. How long can you keep it?

The unprepared product has a shelf life of at least 2 months. For optimal taste and texture, consume it within 36 hours of refrigerating. If you don't finish a serving and intend to eat it later, ensure it is stored in the fridge with the lid securely closed.

4. Do I have to wait overnight? Can't I mix and eat it right away?

We highly recommend soaking your overnight oats for at least 5 hours due to the benefits it provides. Additionally, all the ingredients become softened and activated, and the flavors become infused.

5. How is this different from regular oatmeals or overnight oats I make at home?

Our Asian-inspired overnight oats stand out from traditional oatmeal or homemade overnight oats due to the incorporation of unique Asian superfoods, which offer not only distinctive flavors and textures, but also significant health benefits. These nutrient-dense ingredients provide additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, contributing to an overall healthier meal option.

Additionally, our recipes have been tested and perfected over countless trials, ensuring a consistently enjoyable experience that would be challenging to replicate at home. We know it's hard to make something with no added sugar delicious! 

The convenience of our pre-packaged product saves time and effort, making it an attractive choice for busy individuals seeking both delicious taste and optimal nutrition.

6. Does it help lose weight?

Our overnight oats contain no added sugars, and only use whole food ingredients. When consumed as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, they can potentially help with weight management.

The high fiber content in both oats and the included superfoods help promote feelings of fullness and satiety, which could prevent overeating and support weight loss efforts.

 

READY TO EAT VERSION

1. Shelf life of ready to eat overnight oats

The average shelf life is 4-5 days when refrigerated on arrival. As they are made from fresh, natural ingredients with no weird chemical preservatives, they do have a naturally short shelf life BUT they can all be frozen - which we highly recommend if you don't think you will eat them all in time.

2. Who can eat jujube?

3. How much jujube is recommended to consume daily?
