Overnight oats and chia
This is one of my favorite ways of having oats and chia these days as it's easy to do and keeps me full till lunch. I also like to have it as an afternoon snack if I get hungry as it has a variety of protein, fiber and you can create so many varieties depending of nuts, seeds or spices you use. Be creative and your gut will thank you for it.
