Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Additional strawberries
- Chia seeds
- Nuts
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats and matcha powder until they are well combined, ensuring an even distribution of the matcha flavor.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the sweetener is dissolved.
- Mix in yogurt: If using Greek yogurt, add it now to create a creamier texture and boost protein content. Stir well to combine.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the sliced fresh strawberries into the oat mixture to distribute them evenly without smashing.
- Portion into containers: Divide the prepared mixture evenly into individual jars or containers. Seal each container tightly to prevent any odors from affecting the oats in the fridge.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve and garnish: Once ready to eat, give the oats a good stir. Add any desired toppings such as extra sliced strawberries, chia seeds, or nuts to add texture and flavor. Enjoy this wholesome and refreshing breakfast!
