    This subtly bitter sweet breakfast will surely be your new favorite. Matcha overnight oats are easy to make, delicious with a unique earthy flavor, and loaded with healthy ingredients. 

    There’s fiber rich oatmeal that keeps you satisfied throughout the day, chia seeds with omega-3 fatty acids, and matcha that has a calming and energy boosting effect. 

    All it takes is to combine the ingredients in a jar the night before and you will wake up to this scrumptious breakfast the next day. Top with a dollop of yogurt, and dust with more matcha if you’d like.
