# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's genuinely hands-off once you've mixed it—your fridge does the work while you sleep.
  • The matcha gives you a gentle, sustained energy boost that feels smoother than coffee anxiety.
  • You can prep two servings at once and grab one for tomorrow too, which is a small victory on hectic mornings.
02 -
  • Matcha powder can clump if it hits cold milk—whisk it with just a tiny splash of warm water first to dissolve it completely, then add the rest of the milk.
  • Don't skip the vanilla extract; it sounds small, but it stops the whole thing from tasting one-dimensional and green.
03 -
  • Prep two jars at once—one for tomorrow morning too, and suddenly you've bought yourself two mornings of peace.
  • If you forget and it sits for two days, the texture gets even thicker; add milk and it becomes a drinkable smoothie situation, which is its own gift.
