Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 scoop collagen powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mason jar or glass container, add the rolled oats as the base layer of your overnight oats.
- Measure and pour the almond milk over the oats, ensuring all oats are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Carefully sift the matcha powder into the mixture to prevent clumping, using a small fine-mesh strainer for even distribution.
- Add the collagen powder and chia seeds to the jar, stirring thoroughly to combine all ingredients until they are well integrated.
- If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup into the mixture for added sweetness, gently stirring to incorporate.
- Seal the jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and gently shake to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Place the sealed container in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, remove from refrigerator and give the oats a quick stir to redistribute any settled ingredients.
- Top with fresh seasonal fruits like sliced strawberries, blueberries, or banana for added nutrition and flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with a light dusting of additional matcha powder or a drizzle of extra honey if desired.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor and health benefits, opt for high-quality matcha powder and collagen. Look for brands that are organic and free from additives.
- Experiment with Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your oats by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup. If you prefer a less sweet option, you can skip the sweetener altogether and let the fruit toppings shine.
- Customize Your Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh fruits like mango, kiwi, or even nuts and seeds can add a delightful crunch and additional nutrients.
- Make It Ahead: These overnight oats can be prepared up to three days in advance. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
- Mix and Match: Feel free to swap almond milk for your favorite plant-based milk, or even regular dairy milk, depending on your dietary preferences.
- Add a Protein Boost: For an extra protein kick, consider adding a spoonful of nut butter or Greek yogurt on top before serving.
- Mind the Chia Seeds: Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand, so make sure to stir well and let the mixture sit long enough for the oats and seeds to soften properly.Enjoy your culinary adventure with these Matcha Collagen Overnight Oats, and watch your mornings transform into a deliciously healthy ritual!
