- Eating enough fiber is important for various reasons, including maintaining bloody sugar levels.
- I recently tried to hit the UK recommended amount of 30g a day for a week.
- Here are some of the meals that helped me hit the target.
I often make protein oatmeal for breakfast with oats, protein powder, mashed banana, and peanut butter, but I upped the fiber in this by adding some flaxseed and cooked apples on top.
Similarly, overnight protein oats, made from oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, flaxseed, mashed banana or grated apple, and then topped with berries or nuts/nut butter, is a delicious high fiber breakfast.
I love a cinnamon and raisin bagel — choose toppings like nut butter and banana, and serve with some other fruit and Greek yogurt for a breakfast that is not only high fiber but high protein too.
Leave out the turkey rashers if you don't eat meat — between the wholewheat toast and avocado, this is a great high fiber breakfast or lunch.
Opt for wholewheat bread over white for higher fiber content in this avocado and turkey sandwich, and get an extra boost with some fruit on the side.
A traditional burger meal gets a healthier makeover by using a high fiber bun and replacing fries with broccoli and butternut squash (particularly if you leave the skin on).
