High Protein Matcha Overnight Oats Recipe – No Cook!
I make my iced protein matcha latte every single day, and now have a new way to enjoy my favorite matcha – matcha overnight oats!
These overnight oats mix quickly and easily and simplify mornings. I’ll walk you through my foolproof recipe so that you can have overnight oat success every single time!
Matcha is a green tea powder that can have a slightly bitter flavor, however, we balance it perfectly with a hint of sweetness from the protein powder.
I use this ceremonial grade matcha every day and love the taste of it – it has a nice, strong matcha flavor, and I use a full teaspoon of matcha powder in this recipe.
If you’re new to matcha and want to ease into the new flavor, start with 1/2 teaspoon instead.
Why you’ll love this matcha oatmeal recipe
Healthy breakfast – If you’re a matcha lover, you need this easy prep-ahead breakfast for busy mornings! It’s filled with the perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and the extra boost of caffeine to wake you up from the green tea powder!
Meal prep friendly – I’m a huge fan of overnight oats because I can meal prep them! This saves me time in the morning because all I have to do is pull the yummy meal out of the fridge, top with goodies (or not), and enjoy! The meal prep is easy enough that my kids can take on the job too!
Protein-packed + healthy fats – A high protein breakfast is a must, and each serving gives you 30 grams of protein plus 13 grams of fiber, thanks to the oats and chia seeds. I love using chia seeds to increase the fiber and add more volume to overnight oats recipes. It’ll give you matcha chia pudding and overnight oatmeal vibes altogether!

How to store
Overnight oatmeal should be stored in the fridge. You can make a big batch to enjoy all week.
I find the chewy texture lasts for 4-5 days.
Substitutions, optional variations & dietary adjustments
Below you’ll find a list of substitutions that will work well in this cold oatmeal recipe.
If you try something different out, please leave a comment below letting us all know how it turned out!
Rolled oats – You can swap in quick oats in place of regular oatmeal. The result will give you an even thicker texture that is less chewy.
Chia seeds – A must to help absorb the liquid! If you don’t have chia seeds available, you can swap in ground flaxseed; however, reduce the overall liquid to 2/3 cup.
Matcha powder – There are different types of matcha, and the one I like to use is ceremonial grade. I find it has the best flavor for drinking, but for overnight oats or for baking, you can also use culinary grade matcha.
Vanilla protein powder – An unsweetened and unflavored protein powder or collagen peptides will work as a replacement, however, you’ll want to add a little maple syrup or honey to balance the flavors.
Unsweetened almond milk – Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk like coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, or even regular cow’s milk if that works for you!
