Want to feel fuller for longer? Start with protein + fibre. 👇
High-protein and high-fibre meals can be really helpful when you’re trying to lose weight — not because they’re magic, but because they can help keep you fuller for longer.
And when you’re less hungry, it’s a LOT easier to avoid the constant “just one little snack…” situation 😂 and stick to your calorie deficit.
This overnight Greek yoghurt bowl is a perfect example:
🫐 Berries — lots of fibre for relatively few calories
🌱 Chia seeds — tiny but absolutely packed with fibre
🥣 Greek yoghurt — a great source of protein
💪 Protein powder — extra protein and a little sweetness, too
And if you’re strength training, getting enough protein is especially important to support muscle growth and maintenance.
🫐 Overnight Greek Yoghurt with Chia & Berries
Makes 3 portions
You’ll need:
- Greek yoghurt — I used low-fat
- 3 flat tbsp chia seeds
- Vanilla protein powder, to taste
- Berries of your choice
- A splash of milk
- Dark chocolate, for a final sprinkle 🍫
Method:
Mix the Greek yoghurt, chia seeds, protein powder and a splash of milk. Stir well, then add your berries.
Pop it in the fridge overnight (or for a few hours) and finish with a little grated dark chocolate before serving.
Simple. Filling. High in protein and fibre. And actually tastes like a treat. 😋
Save this for your next breakfast or snack idea!
And remember: protein + fibre can make a calorie deficit easier to stick to — but the deficit is still what drives weight loss.
