To help out in this particular situation, Dr Rupy Aujla, London-based doctor specialising in General Practice and Emergency Medicine, took to Instagram on February 6 to share his recipe for chocolate peanut butter overnight oats.

The dish contains 46 grams of protein and 17 grams of dietary fibre, and takes only five minutes to prepare the night before. Dr Aujla listed the health benefits of the ingredients used in the recipe as follows:

• Oats: They are a great source of beta-glucan, which supports steady energy levels
• Flaxseeds: They help balance the natural sweetness of oats, are high in protein and fibre, and are a rich source of anti-inflammatory compounds like SDG (Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside)
• Hemp seeds: They are an excellent source of plant protein, with 100g containing around 30g of protein
• Chia seeds: provide ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid), a short-chain omega-3 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties

The given measurements are for a single serving.
