How to make protein-packed matcha overnight oats.

What are matcha overnight oats and why should I make them?
Overnight oats made with matcha protein powder are a nutritional powerhouse that combines the convenience of overnight oat preparation with the health benefits of matcha and egg white protein. Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, infuses the oats with caffeine to jumpstart your day and antioxidants to boost your overall well being.
The addition of egg white protein powder increases the protein content of the oats. Protein aids in muscle growth and recovery, and provides a sustained source of energy. Protein can also support weight management by providing a feeling of fullness that prevents snacking and overeating.
By adding matcha overnight oats into your breakfast routine, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal that supports your health and well-being. If you prefer a hot breakfast, simply stir matcha protein powder into your oatmeal to make matcha oatmeal.
Why drink wholesome?
This particular recipe uses our matcha egg white protein powder, which is an ideal choice for two key reasons. Firstly, our egg white protein powders are made from whole food protein sources, not protein concentrates and isolates. The latter have been stripped of everything but the protein, giving them a chalky aftertaste. I do not know about you, but I do not want to eat matcha overnight oats that taste like chalk
Second, drink wholesome is sweetened with monk fruit. Almost every other protein powder company uses artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or stevia, all of which have a bitter aftertaste. Sugar substitutes like these activate bitter taste receptors, and these off-flavors are particularly pronounced when protein powder is added to recipes. Order samples to taste the monk fruit difference.
Now without further ado, here is the best matcha overnight oats recipe.

In a mason jar or small bowl, mix all of the ingredients until combined. Check to ensure that all of the oats are moist, and add more milk if needed. Cover your oats and leave them in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
