A creamy bowl combining oats, matcha, almond milk, and honey for a wholesome energizing start to your morning.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

→ Flavor

05 - 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons culinary-grade matcha powder
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings (optional)

08 - Fresh berries
09 - Sliced banana
10 - Toasted coconut flakes
11 - Chopped nuts such as almonds or pistachios

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniformly green.
02 - Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
03 - Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 8 hours to allow oats to absorb liquid and flavors.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats well and add a splash of milk to loosen the texture if preferred.
05 - Divide into two bowls or jars and top with fresh berries, banana slices, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts as desired.
06 - Serve immediately, keeping the dish chilled for optimal freshness.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Your breakfast is already done while you're still half-asleep, which means no morning scrambling or burnt toast drama.
  • The matcha gives you sustained energy without the coffee jitters, plus you're basically eating a bowl of antioxidants.
  • It tastes indulgent and beautiful enough to photograph, but literally anyone can make it.
02 -
  • If your matcha tastes bitter or grassy instead of sweet and vegetal, it's either old or not culinary grade, and that single thing can wreck the whole bowl, so quality actually matters here.
  • Don't skip the whisking step at the beginning—matcha clumps are the worst textural surprise hiding in a spoonful, and they taste weirdly concentrated and powdery.
03 -
  • Mix your matcha with a tiny splash of warm water first before adding it to cold liquid—it dissolves smoother and prevents clumping better than any other method I've tried.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt makes this taste noticeably creamier than non-fat, and the protein difference is minimal, so lean into the richness if you can.
