Guys,
Since we are all striving to eat protein that will last until morning, I was wondering why it seems like no one mixes in fiber w/ the drink?
I've been trying Chia Seeds w/ mine and it seems to help.. I feel less hungry in the morning.
A couple links:

"Chia's water-soluble fibers, mucilages, cause it to form a gelatin when immersed in water for 30 minutes. Researchers believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach, creating a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics, this slowing of sugar conversion aids endurance."
What do you think? Has anyone else tried this? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
