Ingredients
- 50 g rolled oats
- 200 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 150 g skyr (or 30 g vanilla protein powder)
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp maple syrup or a calorie-free sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Toppings
- 50 g blueberries
- Optional: extra matcha powder for dusting
1. Create the creamy matcha mixture 🍵
In a jar or bowl, combine the almond milk, matcha powder, vanilla extract, sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir everything well until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture turns a smooth, vibrant green. Take your time with this step—matcha can form small lumps if it’s not mixed properly. A smooth base will give your oats the best flavor and texture.
2. Add the oats and protein 🥣
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and skyr to the matcha mixture. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are evenly combined. The skyr makes the oats extra creamy while adding plenty of protein, which helps keep you full and satisfied for longer. The mixture should already look thick and creamy at this point.
3. Let the mixture rest and check the texture ✨
Allow the oats to sit for about 5–10 minutes. During this time, the oats and chia seeds start absorbing the liquid. After resting, give everything another stir and check the consistency. If it seems too thick, add a small splash of almond milk. If it looks too runny, stir in a few extra oats and let it sit for a few more minutes. The goal is a creamy texture that is thick enough to hold a spoon but still smooth and easy to eat.
4. Chill overnight for the best flavor ❄️
Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but overnight is highly recommended. As it chills, the oats become soft and creamy, the chia seeds help thicken the mixture, and the matcha flavor develops into a smoother, richer taste. By morning, you’ll have a perfectly creamy breakfast waiting for you.
5. Add the toppings and enjoy 🫐
When you’re ready to eat, give the oats one final stir. Top with fresh blueberries and, if you like, a light sprinkle of extra matcha powder. The sweet, juicy blueberries pair perfectly with the creamy matcha oats and add a refreshing burst of flavor in every bite. Grab a spoon and enjoy a breakfast that tastes like a treat while helping you stay on track with your goals. 💚🍵🫐

Why I Love This Recipe 💚
What I love most about these Matcha Overnight Oats is that they never feel like a typical “diet breakfast.” They are creamy, slightly sweet, refreshing, and genuinely something I look forward to eating. The combination of smooth matcha and juicy blueberries makes it feel more like a café-style treat than a healthy meal.
During a calorie deficit, one of the biggest challenges is staying full and avoiding unnecessary snacking. This recipe helped with exactly that. Thanks to the high protein from the skyr and the fiber from the oats and chia seeds, it keeps you satisfied for hours and makes it much easier to stay on track with your nutrition goals.
Another reason I enjoy it so much is the convenience. It takes only a few minutes to prepare the night before, and waking up to a ready-made breakfast removes the temptation to grab less nutritious options when you’re short on time.
