# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in 10 minutes and does all the work while you sleep, leaving you more time to actually enjoy your morning.
  • That earthy matcha taste hits different when it's cold and creamy, nothing bitter or sharp about it.
  • You get healthy fats from the coconut and chia that actually keep you full until lunch, not hungry at 10 am.
02 -
  • Don't skip the whisking step with the matcha powder or it'll turn into little green clumps that never fully dissolve no matter how long it sits.
  • The mixture thickens as it sits overnight, sometimes more than you expect, so start with less milk than you think you need and adjust in the morning instead of making it too thin from the start.
03 -
  • Invest in a good matcha whisk if you're going to make this regularly because it actually makes whisking in the powder ten times easier and faster.
  • Store your matcha powder in an airtight container away from light and heat, or it'll lose that vibrant color and start tasting stale after a few weeks.
