This easy make-ahead breakfast is so simple to toss together in a bowl and will store in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can use any oats you like, including gluten-free oats to meet your needs. There is an optional protein powder addition as well to add more protein in your morning to help keep you feel satiated all morning along with the nutritional benefits of matcha green tea.
