Having adequate protein at meals and snacks will help reduce hunger between meals by making you feel fuller after eating. Just one 8-ounce serving of milk has 8 grams of high-quality protein. Chia seeds are healthy fats that are used in a variety of different breakfast combinations. Pair with milk to make this sweet and salty chia pudding!
