# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, and protein powder. Mix thoroughly to distribute the matcha and protein powder evenly.
02 - Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until completely combined, ensuring no lumps of matcha or protein powder remain.
03 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
04 - In the morning, give the oats a thorough stir. Add a splash more milk if a thinner, creamier texture is desired.
05 - Divide the mixture between two bowls or jars. Top with fresh berries, sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts before serving.
