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. Read more

I liked it, very chocolate-ish, although I did not put the entire cocoa amount, and I switched the hempseed with flax. Will do it again
Too much to eat for me!
Fabulous as always! I used oat bran instead of rolled oats, and also divided the overnight mixture in two portions as one of your followers did. The rest added as written. Super tasty and easy to make! Love it!!! Will definitely make it often.
Nice mix of ingredients , rich and chocolatey and bit of crunch with added nuts , but very high in calories for me .. so ate half saved half ..
Loved the prunes 😁
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)
