high fiber whole food snacks ideas

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I’m trying to increase my daily fiber intake. I’d appreciate ideas for whole food snacks that are about at least 5g of fiber. Reasonable quantities, please (so not 3 cups of blueberries 😊).

Some days I hit my fiber goal of 25g, some days I don’t and on those I want to supplement with a snack.

An example of my daily eating is-

breakfast of yogurt with 1/2c mixed berries and 1T mix of chai/flax/hemp seeds - 5g fiber

lunch of turkey sandwich with baby carrots on side - 5g fiber

snack of almonds and apple - 6/7g fiber

dinner of salmon and broccoli and roasted potatoes or cous cous - 4g

I’d like to add 5 or so grams fiber to a day like this, so maybe a morning or after dinner snack. Thanks!

Add hummus to the lunchtime carrots. Add a high fiber fruit to your dinner/after dinner routine? (1/2 cup frozen raspberries is about 4g of fiber and is great on many dessert type things, smoothies, etc. or by itself)

I’m munching on dried apricots and macadamia nuts while I read this. A small serving of each adds up to 6-7 grams of fiber.

Eat an apple. 5 grams of fiber.

I eat dried (no sulfites or extra sugar) mango. I get the big bags from Costco as they are more cost effective.

Adding nutritional yeast to things can help meet fiber goals.

Roasted chickpeas. I usually do with Old Bay to add to salads but my kids eat them as a snack.

I also loved roasted chickpeas. I personally don't get them quite all the way to crispy and I like then with Tajin.

A can of chickpeas is about 4-5 grams of fiber.

Fruit, raspberries, apples, etc. Pistachios or other nuts.

I got the most delicious pumpkin seeds at Giant in the healthy food aisle.

There was just a study saying kiwi is basically the perfect food for fiber.

Add all bran buds to yogurt. 1/2 cup gives you 17 grams of fiber, so getting to 5 grams would be easy.

These are actually good tasting fiber bars (and no I don't work for the company):
