I love all things matcha. However, it is one of those ingredients that (though delicious), is out-of-trend and have been blogged to death about already. I want to document this quick recipe to conveniently point people who don’t matcha yet to it, but I feel there is no need to be too verbose about it.
In short, matcha is great for weight loss, is high in catechins, chlorophyll, caffeine, antioxidants, and super delicious!

Ingredients
- 1/2-3/4 tsp matcha powder Itoen brand
- 1/3-1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1-2 dried apricots
- 1 tbsp coconut chips
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup milk any kind
Instructions
- Put all the dry ingredients in a jar that has a lid.
- Add the milk, then close the lid.
- Shake, and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, shake or stir and eat.
Notes
Many overnight oats recipes call for 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds, for 1/3-1/2 cup of oats. Although this isn’t a health advice by any means, my recipe calls for a more moderate amount of 1 tsp to factor in daily consumption. Over-consumption of chia seeds could cause issues for some people.
Go easy on the matcha if you are new to it (1/2 tsp instead or 1 tsp), as they can be quite strong. Do 1/3 cup rolled oats if you like your overnight oats looser, and 1/2 cup if you need more calories to last till lunch time.
