As the name suggests, overnight oats are prepared the night before and then the flavors marinate with the oats for several hours, producing a rich and creamy breakfast in the morning. Oats are filling on their own, and “Matcha, Coconut and Cacao Overnight Oats” have the added benefit of green tea powder (matcha), which not only turns the dish into a festive green color, but also adds antioxidants, vitamins and an energy boost.
