Matcha overnight oats

Matcha overnight oats are the perfect breakfast that is both easy to make and easy to take on-the-go on busy days. The porridge consists of chia seeds, oatmeal, matcha powder, honey (or maple syrup), which are stirred together with milk. Use exactly the milk you want and add a spoonful of yogurt, skyr or protein powder depending on what you are in the mood for. Yogurt can give a nice, creamy consistency and a more sour taste, whereas vanilla protein powder turns up the sweetness. This recipe is a great basic recipe that you can easily adapt to your taste.

The porridge is best made the day before and then left to stand overnight in the refrigerator. Then you just have to top the porridge in the morning, as we have done here with blueberries, blackberries, peanut butter and coconut flakes. However, feel free to vary your toppings, depending on what you like and what you have at home. For example, use fruit, berries, nuts, compote, nut butter or maybe even delicious raw pickled rhubarb?

Healthy, energizing breakfast with matcha

Matcha not only helps give your breakfast a beautiful green color. It is also energizing, as it contains caffeine. The caffeine gives you a mild energy kick, but in a gentler way than a cup of coffee. Matcha contains about half the amount of caffeine as coffee, and the caffeine is released more slowly, so you experience a more stable energy. This way you avoid a subsequent crash in your blood sugar, which will only make you need coffee even more.

Matcha is also full of many minerals, antioxidants and various vitamins. You are pampering your body and giving it a wonderful start to the day when you make this delicious breakfast. The combination of chia seeds and oatmeal helps to provide a nice, filling base, so you avoid being hungry again soon after.
