Strawberry Matcha Latte Oats (Printable Version)

Creamy oats layered with sweet strawberries and earthy matcha make a vibrant grab-and-go breakfast.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt

→ Matcha Layer

08 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
09 - 2 tablespoons hot water
10 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

→ Strawberry Layer

11 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
12 - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
13 - 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until completely dissolved and smooth. Stir in the additional almond milk to create the matcha layer.
03 - In another bowl, combine diced strawberries with lemon juice and maple syrup to taste. Gently mash half of the strawberries to create a chunky sauce consistency while leaving the remaining strawberries diced.
04 - Divide half of the oat mixture equally between two mason jars, creating an even base layer.
05 - Layer the strawberry mixture over the oat base in each jar, reserving a few strawberry pieces for final topping.
06 - Combine the remaining oat mixture with the matcha blend and stir until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency. Layer this matcha-infused oat mixture over the strawberries.
07 - Distribute the reserved strawberry pieces evenly on top of each jar as a garnish. Secure the mason jar lids tightly.
08 - Place both jars in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight. This permits the oats to absorb the liquid and develop their final creamy texture.
09 - In the morning, give the jars a gentle stir to recombine layers if desired, and enjoy directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Serve chilled.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You prep it once and eat it for days, which means mornings become dramatically less stressful.
  • The matcha gives you a calm, sustained energy boost that actually feels good in your body, not jittery.
  • It looks so beautiful in a jar that eating it feels like treating yourself, even though it takes barely any effort.
02 -
  • The chia seeds need liquid to work their magic, so don't skip them or skimp on them, or you'll end up with regular oatmeal instead of something with real personality.
  • Matcha powder is surprisingly sensitive and turns bitter if the water is boiling hot, so let it cool for just a minute before whisking or you'll taste regret instead of delicate tea flavor.
03 -
  • Use a whisk for the matcha, not a spoon, because the whisking motion actually dissolves the powder instead of just pushing it around.
  • If your strawberries aren't very sweet, add an extra teaspoon of maple syrup to the layer so the tartness from the lemon juice doesn't overshadow everything.
