Getting enough fiber is important for our heart health, digestion, and for maintaining a healthy weight. But doing so is either said than done, considering the fact that it’s not always clear which foods have it and which don’t. These easy ways to sneak more fiber into your diet should help.
Beans
With 14 to 19 grams of fiber in a one-cup serving, beans are a great source of fiber. They’re also super versatile and easy to add to different meals such as salads, tortillas, sandwiches, and even smoothies.
Avocado
Apart from the fact that it’s loaded with healthy fats and vitamins, avocado is also packed with fiber. 1 cup of raw avocado contains 10 grams of fiber so make sure to eat more of this healthy fruit by adding it to your salads, smoothies, and other meals.
Popcorn
Corn is rich in fiber and so is popcorn, so eating this popular snack from time to time may not be as bad as we thought after all.
Nuts and Seeds
Chia seeds, flax seeds, pistachios, almonds, pecans, and other seeds and nuts are all packed with fiber and are super easy to add to a diet. Eat more nuts and seeds by adding them to your oatmeal, salads, and other tasty meals.
