Happy Monday friends!!!
Okay, I know that it’s Labor day today….or is it Memorial day?! I dunno, I always get them confused and have to google which one is which haha. Either way I hope that you are enjoying your day off, hopefully diving into that taco dip I shared with you on Friday.
Really, this is perfect because now you can make these pina colada matcha overnight oats tonight after all your fun is done and you can start your Tuesday off on the right foot. And guess what, it only takes you 10 minutes to make! 5 minutes to cut up a pineapple and 5 minutes to mix everything together. Then a refreshing breakfast will be waiting for you in the morning!
I don’t know why it’s taken me until September to share a recipe for overnight oats with you because I’ve been making them all summer long. September means back to school, which means busy mornings. EASY, make ahead breakfasts FTW!!!
Thank you matcha overnight oats!!!
If you’re not familiar with overnight oats they work like this: mix rolled oats and milk together along with any flavors you like. Pop it in the fridge, and overnight the oats will have absorbed the liquid making them soft and resulting in almost a pudding-like consistency. You eat them cold and they are the most refreshing breakfast you’ll ever have!
Okay aside from maybe a smoothie lol!
We usually eat a hard boiled eggs or some other form of eggs on the side with the overnight oats because PROTEIN is how I roll in the morning.
The idea for Pina colada matcha overnight oats came to me when I was making my pina coladas…..you know, the adult beverages? The type of pina colada that actually has rum in the?! Yes, those.
Rest assured, there is no rum in these pina colada matcha overnight oats. So yes, you can feed this to your kids. The inspiration part was the coconut and pineapple combo and then the matcha was added in there last minute…because matcha is life!
And trust me the matcha was a good idea. It adds a nice grassy hint that goes nicely with the sweet pineapple and coconut flavors. Plus you are getting a little caffeine boost directly in your breakfast. How cool is that?! You can pretty much just skip the coffee!!!
Less to mess with in the morning, you’re welcome! HA! kidding, because I know all you people out there that are obssed with their coffee! I’m that way too….only not with coffee but with tea!
I know you will love how simple and delicious these matcha overnight oats are. They’re almost dessert like, but in a healthy breakfast energizing kind of way that will keep you going until lunch.
Happy breakfasting everyone!

Notes
Serving size: We usually eat eggs on the side of our overnight oats so we get 4 servings out of the oats. If your main breakfast is the overnight oats than you will probably get 2 servings out of it.
Matcha green tea powder: I like Jade Leaf Matcha brand
