Strawberry Matcha Quick Soak Overnight Oats (Vegan)
These creamy and vibrant Strawberry Matcha Quick Soak Overnight Oats are naturally dairy-free, high in fibre and protein and the perfect breakfast to start the day.
I love oats for breakfast but if you don’t have time or have forgotten to soak them overnight, fear not, you can use this quick soak method instead. With this recipe, breakfast is ready with just a 30-minute soak (e.g. going to have a shower or get ready for the day) and they taste so good. If you love matcha, these will be the best for you (and even if you don’t like matcha, I highly encourage you to try it) and they pair so beautifully with the strawberries on top. These oats only require about 10 minutes of work (stirring and whisking) and that’s it! You can also prepare a bigger batch of these to last the week, if you prefer to meal prep, too.

What ingredients do I need?
You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.
For the oats:
- Rolled oats: the base of all good breakfasts.
- Chia seeds: these soak up lots of liquid, are great for gut health, high in fibre and omegas.
- Ground flaxseed: these are great for the gut and high in fibre.
- Vegan vanilla protein powder: I love the Form protein as it’s made with minimal gut-friendly ingredients.
- Dairy free yoghurt: I use coconut yoghurt from Cocos organic which is so thick and creamy.
- Dairy free milk: like soya milk as it’s naturally high in protein or coconut milk works, too.
- Ceremonial grade matcha: I use the gorgeous matcha from Godmothers Matcha which is so vibrant and top quality.
- Warm water: to whisk into the matcha.
And for the topping:
- Frozen strawberries: these work best for making a thick and creamy topping. Make sure they are chopped and then frozen.
- Strawberry coconut yoghurt: I use the Cocos Organic yoghurt as it’s made with minimal ingredients and tastes so good.
- Freeze dried strawberries: these add even more strawberry colour and flavour but are optional.
- Pistachios: these are optional for on top.
Are these gluten-free and nut-free?
These are easily gluten-free as long as you use GF oats. To keep it nut-free, use nut-free milk and yoghurt and skip the pistachios.
How do I make these?
These are ready in a few steps:
- Stir together the oat ingredients: until creamy.
- Whisk the matcha and water: until frothy.
- Pour the matcha in the aits: and leave for 30 minutes.
- Stir the yoghurt, frozen strawberries and freeze-dried berries together: until creamy.
- Spoon the strawberry mix over the oats: and enjoy.
How long will they last?
Once topped with the strawberry mix, these are best eaten within a few hours, but the matcha oat mix will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
