01 - 1 cup rolled oats (approximately 100 g)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120 g)
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

05 - 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons culinary grade matcha powder
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

02 - Add rolled oats and chia seeds to the mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
03 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow the oats to absorb liquids and develop flavor.
04 - In the morning, stir the mixture well; add a splash of milk for a looser consistency if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready when you wake up, no cooking required on your most chaotic mornings.
  • The matcha gives you that peaceful energy lift without the jittery crash of coffee.
  • One bowl looks so Instagram-worthy that people assume you spent an hour on breakfast.
02 -
  • The consistency will thicken significantly overnight as the oats absorb liquid, so don't panic if it seems thin when you first combine everything.
  • Not all matcha powders are created equal—cheap ones taste chalky and bitter, so invest in a decent culinary-grade powder and store it in an airtight container away from light.
03 -
  • If you want maximum creaminess, use full-fat Greek yogurt or swap some of the almond milk for coconut milk—but then accept that it won't be quite as light.
  • Matcha powder can absorb moisture from the air, so store it in a small airtight container in a cool, dark spot, and it'll stay fresh for months.
