🥣 Ingredients Matcha Overnight Oats Oatmeal Recipe

Fuel your mornings with the power of antioxidants and the goodness of oats! This mixed berries and matcha overnight oats recipe combines the tang of mixed berries with the earthy flavors of matcha, creating a healthy and delectable breakfast. It's time to elevate your breakfast game. Ready to dive in?

To make this healthy overnight oats recipe, you will simply need to gather a few key ingredients that create a tasty matcha-flavored overnight oat for breakfast.

1. Matcha Powder - Make sure you get good quality matcha powder. It makes all the difference. Use ceremonial-grade matcha powder for the best flavor. I love the brand by Pique. You can find their real ceremonial-grade matcha green tea powder here.
2. Mixed Berries - I like strawberry and blueberry for that traditional mixed berry flavor that they bring to the recipe. However, any berry will work well in this recipe.
3. Gluten-Free Rolled Oats - Oats are a natural superfood because they are 100% whole grain, and contain many vitamins and minerals. I like Bob's Red Mill brand of rolled oats because it is handled in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
4. Vanilla Protein Powder - Packed full of protein, this vegan protein powder is perfect for increasing your protein intake.
5. Milk of Choice - I prefer non-dairy milk and unsweetened almond milk, but any milk will work well.
6. Maple Syrup - This is the yummiest sweetener. If you don't have maple syrup, try honey or agave.
7. Yogurt of Choice - I used plain almond milk yogurt, but Greek yogurt also works well in this recipe. Greek yogurt also adds additional protein to the recipe.
8. Sea Salt - A pinch will help enhance and balance the sweetness of the maple syrup in the recipe.
9. Optional: Hemp seeds for extra protein and healthy fats.

🍵 Health Benefits of Matcha

There are so many health benefits of matcha green tea. Rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, matcha can help protect against cellular damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

It also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm and focus without the jitters often associated with caffeine. Additionally, matcha is known to boost metabolism and aid in weight loss by increasing fat oxidation.

Regular consumption may support heart health by lowering bad cholesterol levels and reducing blood pressure. Moreover, the chlorophyll in matcha helps detoxify the body, promoting wellness and a healthy complexion.

Gut Health and Matcha

Matcha, a powdered form of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, has numerous health benefits when consumed regularly. Rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, matcha can help reduce inflammation and promote gut health by supporting a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

Moreover, the fiber content in matcha helps digestion and regular bowel movements. Incorporating matcha into your diet, whether through traditional tea preparation or by adding it to smoothies and recipes, can be a delightful and beneficial way to enhance your digestive health and well-being.

🍓 🫐 Mixed Berries

Mixed berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, are not only delicious, but also packed with health benefits, particularly for skin health. These vibrant fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental factors.

For instance, the high vitamin C content in berries is essential for collagen production, which maintains skin elasticity and prevents premature aging. Additionally, the anthocyanins in berries reduce inflammation and promote a clearer complexion. Regular consumption of mixed berries can lead to glowing, youthful skin and improved overall health.

Berries: Rich in Fiber

Berries are rich in fiber for digestive health, and are an excellent addition to any diet. They not only help prevent constipation, but also promote a healthy gut flora by acting as prebiotics, which feed beneficial bacteria.

High in antioxidants, berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries can also reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to better overall digestion and nutrient absorption. Consuming these fiber-packed fruits regularly can contribute significantly to long-term gastrointestinal health.

⁇ Types of Oats to Use For Overnight Oats

There are several types of oats you can use for overnight oats, each offering a different texture and nutritional profile.

Rolled oats are the most common choice, as they absorb liquid well and become soft, but retain a slight chewiness. This is my personal preference when preparing overnight oats.

Steel-cut oats provide a heartier, nuttier texture, though they require longer soaking time to soften adequately. These are perfect in the slow cooker.

Quick oats can also be used for a more porridge-like consistency, perfect for those who prefer a smoother texture. I like to use quick oats for a fast breakfast on the stove when I forget to meal prep during the week.

Additionally, there are gluten-free oats available for those with dietary restrictions, like myself, who was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was younger. Choose the type of oats that best fits your taste and nutritional needs to create the perfect overnight oats recipe.

💙 Substitutions

Making high-fiber overnight oats is a personal preference in terms of dietary needs. Check out some easy substitutions and variations to customize this recipe to your liking.

• Vegan - Use a vegan protein powder, dairy-free yogu t, and plant-based milk option.
• No Protein Powder - Use collagen powder instead of the protein powder in the overnight oats mixture, before placing it into the fridge.

🍴 Variations

Here are a few variations to customize your mixed berry overnight oats oatmeal recipe.

• Higher Protein - Top with hemp seeds, which will provide additional protein to the recipe.

🍄 Optional Overnight Oats Recipe Add-ins:

I also love to add adaptogens to my recipes. Try adding some Ashwagandha root powder or maca powder to this matcha and mixed berries oatmeal, which won't alter the flavor profile of the recipe, but gives you added stress-relieving health benefits.

One of my personal favorites is the Adaptogenic blend mix by Four Sigmatic.

🍽️ How Do You Serve Matcha Overnight Oats Oatmeal?

Typically overnight oats are served straight out of the refrigerator cold. However, if you have extra time to prepare your oats warmed up, simply heat them up for a minute and a half in the microwave or warm them on the stovetop. Add an extra splash of water or milk to thicken the mixture a bit.

For serving these mixed berry protein oats, I like to add extra mixed berries and hemp seeds overtop

❄️ Storage For Mixed Berry & Matcha Overnight Oats Oatmeal

Store this matcha-flavored overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I like to store them in mason jars or meal prep containers.

🥘 Meal Prep Tips

• Batch Prep Your Oats - Combine your oats, matcha, and liquid base in a large bowl, then portion into individual jars for a week of ready-to-go breakfasts.
• Pre-Measure Powders - Mix your matcha and any other dry ingredients in advance, so you can quickly blend them into your oats for consistent flavor and nutrient boost.
• Separate Your Toppings - Store mixed berries, nuts, seeds, and probiotic-rich yogurt in small containers. Add these fresh toppings just before serving to keep textures vibrant and nutrients intact.
• Customize Your Jars - Prepare a few variations by adding different spices or fruits to different jars, ensuring you have a diverse, gut-friendly breakfast lineup all week.
