Chia

The liquid is really up to you. Nut milks add body and protein, but if you prefer something sweeter, try juice. Less heavy? Go with coconut water.

Energy-packed flaxseed and protein-rich chia seeds give these flapjacks a lot more staying power.

Try to get this in the fridge the night before for the best texture. If you're short on time, just top some pineapple chunks with chopped dried apricots and some pan-toasted chia seeds for a little crunch and protein.

Chia seeds form a gel when they’re soaked in liquid for awhile, making it a kind of high-protein analog to tapioca pudding. Though you’ll find tubfuls of chia pudding at your local health food store, it tastes especially good when cut with another texture like the yogurt here.

The ultimate do-ahead, portable power breakfast; it’s also great with fresh fruit.

Add this to salads, yogurt, rice dishes, and grilled vegetables.
