01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
03 - 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
04 - 1 scoop (about 1 ounce) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

10 - Toasted coconut flakes

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, and protein powder. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
02 - Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until completely combined, ensuring no lumps of matcha or protein powder remain.
03 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
04 - In the morning, give the oats a thorough stir. Add a splash more milk if a thinner, creamier texture is desired.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls or jars. Top with fresh berries, sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts before serving.
