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 the 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. Read more I pack my overnight oats with two key anti-inflammatory spices, cinnamon and turmeric.

Very rich I could only eat half portion
Nice flavours and textures and a great hit of protein for the morning. Very big portion for one especially with the toppings. I use less cacao as I find it too rich otherwise.
Love this recipe and so does my Personal Trainer! It ticks all the boxes for nutrition & my energy levels have certainly improved . Super tasty and easy to make.
nice idea to save time ease preparation, liked texture of soaked nuts. prefer porridge gruelly and hot, will try uncooked next time. Thanks
This was great. Needed to be a little sweeter for me, so I served over (defrosted) frozen berries (cherries and/or blueberries) and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Delicious - though the portions are very large (2 portions have actually made us enough for 4)
