# Recipe Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required, but it tastes intentional and special enough to feel like self-care.
  • The matcha stays vibrant and earthy, not bitter or overpowering, because the creaminess balances it perfectly.
  • You get a protein-packed breakfast that actually keeps you satisfied through lunch, not just until mid-morning.
02 -
  • Use culinary-grade matcha, not ceremonial—ceremonial is beautiful to whisk with water, but in overnight oats it can taste grassy or harsh.
  • Don't skip the whisking step when combining the matcha with liquid; lumps are frustrating to bite into, but dissolving the powder properly takes just thirty seconds and changes everything.
  • The oats will absorb liquid as they sit, so if you're meal-prepping more than one jar, store them unsealed until the evening before you want to eat them, or accept that the texture will be thicker (which some people actually prefer).
03 -
  • Toast coconut flakes in a dry pan for two minutes before adding them—it deepens their sweetness and makes the whole bowl taste more intentional and aromatic.
  • Whisk the matcha with just a splash of milk first before adding it to the yogurt mixture; this ensures it dissolves smoothly instead of clumping.
