This chia pudding is one of my favorite protein-rich afternoon snacks!
Eating a fatty, protein-rich snack around 4-5pm helps me stay energized and full until dinner time, which for me is around 7:30-8pm. It's literally my secret weapon to avoid late night cravings and prevent me from eating all the things when I get home after a long day of work :)
