Struggling to get out the door in the morning with a healthy breakfast? Whip up a batch of these Matcha Overnight Oats with fresh fruit for a quick grab & go morning.
The process couldn’t be any easier! Simply mix up the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and matcha green tea powder.
In a separate bowl, blend the vanilla protein powder with a little water to create a sauce. Fold the sauce into the oat mixture and store in grab & go containers in the fridge (I like to use glass jars or small bowls).
The oats will soak in the other ingredients overnight and combine into a cool and luscious breakfast. Top with fresh fruit and sliced almonds and serve with some breakfast sausage links for a well-rounded meal that will keep you satisfied until your next snack or meal!
Keep this matcha overnight oats recipe on hand for those mornings when all you have time for is grab & go.
