Overnight chia-oats.

Chia: They're loaded with good-for-your-gut fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which help calm inflammation in your body and may protect you from chronic disease. They also add a nice protein boost to this recipe. Besides their nutritional qualities, chia seeds will help thicken the overnight oats, giving them a pudding-like consistency.

Oats: helps you feel full longer due to their fiber content (the protein in this recipe helps add to the feeling of fullness, too). There is also some evidence that beta-glucan, the soluble fiber found in oats, may encourage the release of a hormone that promotes satiety and that feeling of fullness. The combination of whole grains and protein will also help keep your blood sugar more level. When your hunger and blood sugar are stable, it keeps that "hangry" feeling at bay—which means you won't be grabbing the first food you see to stave it off.
