Stop Late-Night Snacking: The Protein Chia Pudding Recipe
A make-ahead protein chia pudding to satisfy a late-night craving without derailing the day.
Late-night snacking is often less about hunger and more about a habit — this protein-rich chia pudding is built to feel like a treat while actually keeping you fuller longer.
What you'll need
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 scoop protein powder (or 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to make it
- Whisk the protein powder into the almond milk until fully dissolved.
- Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Keep a portion ready in the fridge for whenever the late-night craving hits.
Why people say it works
Protein and fiber are two of the most effective nutrients for promoting fullness and reducing the drive to snack later in the evening. Chia seeds add fiber and healthy fats, while the protein helps stabilize blood sugar overnight, which can reduce the late-night urge to eat.
