# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just a whisked bowl and patience, so it fits into any schedule.
  • The earthiness of matcha pairs so well with creamy Greek yogurt that you actually forget this is breakfast and not a treat.
  • One bowl genuinely sustains you through a busy morning without the jittery coffee crash.
02 -
  • Matcha powder clumps if you add it to cold liquid without whisking first, and those clumps taste bitter and chalky no matter how long they sit.
  • The oats will keep absorbing liquid over several days, so if you make a batch for the week, add milk to jars on day three or they'll become porridge.
03 -
  • If you prefer stronger matcha flavor, add up to an extra half teaspoon, but taste first because matcha flavor intensity varies wildly between brands.
  • Make five jars at once on Sunday evening, and you have breakfast for the whole work week without thinking about it once.
