# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Matcha Layer
08 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
09 - 2 tablespoons hot water
10 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
→ Strawberry Layer
11 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
12 - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
13 - 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until no lumps remain and the powder is fully dissolved. Add the almond milk and stir until smooth.
03 - In another bowl, combine diced strawberries with lemon juice and maple syrup. Gently mash approximately half of the strawberries to create a chunky sauce consistency while keeping the remaining pieces intact.
04 - Divide half of the oat mixture evenly between two mason jars, distributing the base layer to the bottom of each jar.
05 - Layer the strawberry mixture over the oat base in both jars, reserving several strawberry pieces for topping.
06 - Mix the remaining oat mixture with the matcha blend until the color is uniform and smooth. Layer this matcha-infused mixture over the strawberry layer in each jar.
07 - Top each jar with the reserved strawberry pieces for visual appeal and fresh flavor contrast.
08 - Secure the mason jar lids tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to fully absorb the liquid and develop the proper texture.
09 - In the morning, gently stir the overnight oats to recombine layers if desired. Serve chilled directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
