Method

  1. 1

    Prepare matcha. Sift 1 tsp unsweetened matcha powder into a lidded tub (about 1000 ml).

  2. 2

    Add liquid. Pour in 480 ml oat milk or whole milk, 35 ml maple syrup and ¼ tsp vanilla.

  3. 3

    Whisk. Whisk thoroughly until smooth with no matcha lumps.

  4. 4

    Add oats. Stir in 95 g rolled oats and 2 tbsp chia seeds.

  5. 5

    Chill. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 h or overnight.

  6. 6

    Finish. Before eating, stir well and loosen with a little more milk if you like, then divide between 4 bowls or glasses.

  7. 7

    Top. Crown each with 30 g Greek-style yoghurt and 37.5 g raspberries or other fresh fruit.

Storage

Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir before eating and add more milk if the mixture is too thick. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).

EU nutrition claims

  • Source of protein: 4.1 g protein per 100 kcal, about 17% of energy (needs ≥ 12%)
  • Low salt: 0.17 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)
  • Source of fibre: 2.5 g fibre per 100 kcal (needs ≥ 1.5 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 100 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
