Awhile back, I did an Instagram post on my favorite fiber rich foods. I wanted to share it with someone today, only I can’t find it now. So, I thought I’d just write a blog post and it’ll be easier to find in the future, lol!
Do what works people. 🙂
Anyway, fiber is important to our daily diet for a variety of reasons. First of all, it helps with digestion and who doesn’t want all that working properly? Am I right? Fiber also helps us feel “fuller” longer, so it can aid in weight loss. Those are just two immediate benefits that come to mind, but fiber is good for our heart health and it also helps our body absorb nutrients from other foods we eat.
It’s always best to get your fiber from whole unprocessed foods, so I’m going to share some of my favorite sources of fiber rich foods:
- Pears
- Avocados
- Apples
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Sweet potatoes
- Oats
- Lentils
- Chia Seeds
- Almonds
- Spinach
- Cannellini Beans
- Chick Peas
Ok. Get ready for these last two…
- Dark Chocolate
- Popcorn
Ummmm, can anyone say, “YUM”?!
~So when you’re thinking about snacking, reach for a few of these and feel good about giving your body what it needs!
