03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (4 oz)
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It does all the work while you sleep, so breakfast is literally just grabbing and eating.
  • The matcha gives you a gentle, sustained energy boost without the jitters of coffee.
  • One jar tastes fancy enough to feel like you've done something special for yourself.
02 -
  • Matcha is sensitive to heat and exposure to light, so it's worth storing in a cool, dark place if you make these regularly—oxidized matcha tastes musty and defeats the whole purpose.
  • The texture transforms overnight in a way you won't predict until you've made it once, so don't judge it by the first stir—trust that the oats are soaking up exactly what they need.
03 -
  • Make a big batch in jars on Sunday evening and grab a different topping each morning—it's meal prep that actually feels exciting.
  • If your matcha tastes bitter or grassy instead of bright and fresh, it's either old or stored wrong, so replace it; good matcha makes all the difference in how much you'll love this.
