This recipe for Matcha Overnight Oats is a protein-packed, healthy breakfast with delicious matcha flavor and creamy vegan yogurt to top. It’s perfect for meal prep and on-the-go quick breakfast for busy mornings! 

What are Protein Overnight Oats? 

Overnight oats are a super convenient and nutritious breakfast that is prepped ahead of time, and well, made overnight! You simply soak oats milk overnight in the refrigerator. This no-cook method allows the oats to soften and absorb flavors, creating a creamy and ready-to-eat meal by morning. Often topped with fruits, nuts, or seeds, but today we’re topping with non-dairy yogurt for extra protein. 

A couple of fun twists in this recipe include the addition of matcha and a scoop of protein powder! The result is a creamy, protein-packed breakfast that keeps you fuller longer and helps you add needed protein to your diet. Plus, all of the health benefits of matcha are packed right in– Yay! 

What Makes This Recipe Great

Today we’re making Protein Overnight Oats with a very Remy-esque spin– Matcha Latte! Combining the creamy texture of soaked oats with the vibrant, earthy taste of matcha green tea powder. A nutritious and energizing start to your day topped with vegan yogurt for extra protein! 

If you’re a matcha lover like me, these vegan Matcha Overnight Oats are going to dazzle you. The easiest grab-and-go breakfast with all of your morning needs combined: Oatmeal for a healthy start, protein for added nutrients, matcha for health benefits, and a dose of caffeine! Simply make, store overnight, and enjoy the next morning!

The ultimate, dairy-free, and vegan breakfast with super simple ingredients. This high-protein breakfast is easy to make for meal prep all week long! 

Ingredient Notes

• gluten-free oats: Bob’s Red Mill makes a gluten-free version of their old-fashioned rolled oats. Most old fashioned oats are naturally gluten-free, but double-check the ingredients to be sure. 
• chia seeds
• protein powder: I used Ritual, but feel free to use your favorite type of protein powder. Feel free to use chocolate protein powder or vanilla protein powder depending on what you like!
• pinch of salt
• matcha: I recommend using a ceremonial grade matcha for best results. 
• almond milk: Or coconut milk, soy milk, oat milk, or another non-dairy milk of choice. 
• vanilla extract
• pure maple syrup
• plant-based yogurt: You can use soy yogurt or coconut yogurt, whichever you provide. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a mason jar or another small jar with a lid, add dry ingredients: old-fashioned oats, chia seeds, protein powder, salt, and sifted matcha powder, and stir together to mix. 
2. Pour in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup and whisk until combined – be sure to get the edges so there are no protein powder or matcha clumps. Seal with a lid and refrigerate overnight to set. 
3. Enjoy with a few tablespoons of plant-based yogurt, to top, if desired. Keep refrigerated for up to five days!

Secrets to Success

• Favorite Toppings: I topped my matcha protein overnight oats with plain vegan yogurt, but you can also top with fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries, fresh fruit like bananas, nuts and seeds, nut butter (like almond butter or peanut butter), seed butter, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, and more!

Storage Tips

Store in the mason jar with a lid or another airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days!
