Glow-Up Breakfast: Overnight Matcha + Spirulina Oats Recipe
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe was originally inspired by a version in Emily English’s brilliant book So Good – I loved it instantly, but over time I started adding a few extras to suit my routine + boost the nutrition. Now it’s become one of my absolute go-to breakfasts.
I’ve shared it a few times on my Instagram Stories, + I always get messages asking for the full recipe – so I thought it was about time I popped it up here for you to bookmark + come back to whenever you need it.
It’s creamy, energising, full of nourishing ingredients + only takes five minutes to prep the night before. The best kind of breakfast, really.
What Makes It So Good?
Every ingredient in this recipe does something brilliant for your body. Here’s a little breakdown of why I love each one:
Oats – A great source of fibre to support digestion + help keep you full.
Oat milk – Creamy, plant-based + light on the stomach.
Matcha powder – Full of antioxidants + gives a calm, focused energy (no coffee crash!).
Chia seeds – Rich in omega-3s, fibre + protein – great for brain + heart health.
Flax seeds – Brilliant for digestion + hormone balance, with a subtle nutty flavour.
Coconut yoghurt (I use Cocos) – Adds creaminess + gut-friendly probiotics.
Cinnamon – Naturally sweet, anti-inflammatory + helps balance blood sugar.
Spirulina – The ultimate superfood. High in protein, iron + B vitamins, it gives your oats a gorgeous green glow too.
The Recipe
Ingredients:
35g oats
100ml oat milk
½ tsp matcha powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp flax seeds
½ tsp cinnamon
5g spirulina
1 tbsp coconut yoghurt (I use Cocos)
Method:
Add all the ingredients to a bowl or jar.
Mix well until fully combined.
Cover + pop in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
In the morning, give it a stir. If it’s a little thick, add a splash more oat milk.
Toppings (Optional – but recommended!)
You can enjoy this on its own, but I love to top mine with:
Berries (fresh or frozen)
Coconut flakes
Granola (I LOVE Emily English’s recipe from her book ‘So Good’).
Tip: If I’m adding toppings, I usually use half the base recipe. It balances perfectly + gives you room for extra bits on top.
Final Thoughts
This recipe is a little bowl of glow-up goodness – quick, delicious + full of ingredients your body will thank you for. If you try it, tag me on Instagram – I’d love to see your version!
