# Components:

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Layer

11 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
12 - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

# Method:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until completely dissolved and smooth. Stir in almond milk until fully combined.
03 - In another bowl, combine diced strawberries with lemon juice and maple syrup. Gently mash approximately half of the strawberries to create a chunky sauce consistency while keeping the remaining pieces diced.
04 - Divide half of the oat mixture evenly between two mason jars.
05 - Layer the strawberry mixture over the oat base in each jar, reserving a few pieces for garnish.
06 - Mix the remaining oat mixture with the matcha blend until the texture is smooth and evenly colored throughout.
07 - Layer the matcha-oat mixture over the strawberries in each jar.
08 - Garnish with reserved strawberry pieces on top of each jar. Seal jars with lids.
09 - Place sealed jars in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
10 - In the morning, gently stir the mixture and consume directly from the jar while chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required means you're basically tricking yourself into eating breakfast while you were sleeping.
  • The layered colors are so gorgeous that people assume you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • It stays fresh all week in your fridge, ready whenever hunger strikes on a hectic morning.
02 -
  • If you try to eat these immediately, the oats are still crunchy and the whole thing tastes like potential rather than a finished breakfast; patience here is actually rewarded.
  • The matcha powder must be fully dissolved in hot water first or you'll end up with gritty sips that taste surprisingly bitter and ruin the whole vibe.
03 -
  • Make a batch of four jars at once and you've got breakfasts covered for two days, which feels like you've figured out life for a moment.
  • Keep your mason jars in a specific spot in the fridge so you actually remember to grab them instead of reaching for something less intentional.
