Matcha Oat & Chia Breakfast Jar

This nourishing breakfast jar combines oats and chia seeds for a slow-digesting, fiber-rich base, topped with vibrant matcha and fresh fruit. It’s a gentle way to start the day with steady energy and balanced nutrition, especially helpful on a GLP-1 plan where smaller, nutrient-dense meals can feel more satisfying. The creamy oat milk and matcha layer add both comfort and a subtle boost of antioxidants.

Ingredients: (serves 1-2)

• ½ cup rolled oats

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 cup oat milk (homemade by blending oats with water)

• 1 tsp matcha powder

• ½ banana, sliced

• 2–3 dried strawberries, chopped

• Optional: pinch of cinnamon or drizzle of honey
  
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare the base:
   In a jar or bowl, combine rolled oats and chia seeds.

2. Add the oat milk:
   Pour the oat milk over the mixture and stir well to combine.

3. Let it set:
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or overnight so the oats and chia seeds soften and thicken.

4. Prepare the matcha layer:
   Mix the matcha powder with a small splash of warm water or oat milk until smooth.

5. Assemble:
   Spoon the matcha mixture on top of the oat-chia base.

6. Finish with fruit:
   Add sliced banana and dried strawberries before serving.
   
   

Wellness Tip:

Chia seeds and oats provide soluble fiber, which helps support digestion and stable blood sugar levels, important when appetite and meal timing change on GLP-1 medications. Matcha adds antioxidants and gentle caffeine that can provide a calm, sustained energy boost without the jitters of stronger coffee.
