“I pack my overnight oats with two key anti-inflammatory spices, cinnamon and turmeric,” says TV’s Dr Rupy Aujla. Soaking increases the digestibility of the oats and the cacao and hemp seeds provide a nice dose of protein.

“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.”

1. Add all the dry ingredients together to a large glass jar. Screw the lid on and shake vigorously to mix all the components together.

2. Remove the lid and stir in the milk, 50ml water and the prunes. Replace the lid and place in the fridge overnight.

3. In the morning, add a splash more milk if needed, and serve topped with the berries, pumpkin seeds or nut butter and yoghurt.
