A breakfast packed with 10+ grams of fiber per serving to support fullness, digestion and balanced blood sugar.
Most adults should aim for 25-38 grams of fiber per day, but the truth is… most people aren’t even close to that. That’s why I like to start the day with at least 10 grams of fiber at breakfast – it gives you a strong start right before lunch time.
Fiber does the heavy lifting: It aids digestion, keeps you full longer, helps stabilize blood sugar, supports heart health, and nourishes the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
You’ll find fiber naturally in berries, apples, pears, chia seeds, flax, oats, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and vegetables. One of the easiest ways to boost your intake is to put together some fiber-rich foods — top oatmeal with berries and chia, or think avocado toast with fruit on the side.
One important thing to know: When you increase fiber, you also need to increase water intake. Fiber acts like a sponge, drawing water into the digestive tract to keep things running smoothly. Without enough fluids, increasing fiber too quickly can make you feel bloated or backed up. So as your fiber intake increases, bring your hydration along for the ride! Here are my 8 favorite high fiber breakfast recipes:
