Overnight Protein Porridge with Cinnamon, Turmeric, and Cacao

I pack my overnight oats with two key anti-inflammatory
spices, cinnamon and turmeric. Soaking increases the
digestibility of the oats and t...he cacao and hemp seeds
provide a nice dose of protein. To add even more protein,
you could use an unflavoured protein powder or even
collagen, but I prefer to boost it with a healthy dose of
pumpkin seeds or crunchy peanut butter. Have fun with
this one. You can make a few jars at a time and they’ll
keep nicely in the fridge for a high-fibre, high-protein
grab-and-go breakfast. A dollop of natural yoghurt or
kefir is a beautiful contrast to the rich chocolatey-ness.
