Blueberry Matcha Overnight Oats

These Blueberry Matcha Overnight Oats are everything that you need in the morning: nourishing, filling, delicious, have a little caffeine, and require less than five minutes of prep time the night before! | No added sugar, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, nut-free.

These Blueberry Matcha Overnight Oats are literally all you need in the morning, especially given the fact that they require NO TIME from you in the morning (besides you know, actually eating them)!!

Let's do a brief run down:

• Grab-and-go!
• Nourishing fuel!
• Caffeine!

Overnight oats are my jam because I'm always looking for any way to streamline mornings. Currently, I work from home - but that doesn't mean I always want (or have time) to dedicate to detailed meals and clean up, especially because I have a toddler I'm feeding, too. I 100% still appreciate ready-made meals and meal prep, because it allows me to make delicious, balanced, simple meals (with real food) quickly.

Even before I started working from home, though, these type of breakfasts were my fave. I had to be at work by 7 or 7:30, so these were perfect to bring with me and take a few minutes to enjoy as I was getting my day set up.

And what better way to ensure you're set up for a good day than fueling yourself with a nourishing breakfast? These Blueberry Matcha Overnight Oats make fantastic fuel. They pack a ton of satiety, that sense of satisfying fullness, to keep you full and focused all morning long, thanks to all the fiber. There's a little bit of healthy fats from flaxseed (and optionally more depending on what type of milk or milk substitute you use). They have a subtle sweetness because of all the blueberries in here, so there's no needed for any added sugar.

And a Blueberry Matcha Overnight Oats bonus? They really are all-in-one. With a serving (½ teaspoon) of matcha green tea powder, it has more caffeine than a cup of tea brewed from a tea bag, but less than a cup of coffee. So you've got just enough caffeine to give you a gentle kick-start to your day, especially if you're more sensitive to caffeine in larger quantities, like in coffee.

Bottom line? These Blueberry Matcha Overnight Oats are a delicious addition to your morning to get you off to a solid start. If you make them, be sure to share your thoughts and a pic to the NTF Facebook page or on Instagram (tag @nutritiontofit and #nutritiontofit so I can see!) Live well!

Ingredients

• ½ cup old-fashioned oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
• ½ cup frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• ½ teaspoon matcha
• ½ cup rice milk, unsweetened (or other milk/ milk alternative)

Instructions

• Combine all ingredients in a small airtight container (like a mason jar), stir or shake to combine, and refrigerate overnight (or 6+ hours).
• Your blueberry matcha overnight oats will be ready to go in the morning!

Notes

I used frozen blueberries, because they add an extra "juiciness" level as they thaw, adding more flavor and natural sweetness to the overnight oats. You could probably use fresh blueberries, but may need to crush them slightly (and may need a splash more milk/ milk substitute).

You can add additional protein and satiety to your oats by adding a scoop of your favorite collagen, protein powder, or even Greek yogurt.

Nutrition information will vary based on type of milk/ milk substitute used and if any other ingredients (like collagen) are added.
