I’m taking a new stance on fiber guys! You all know by now:
Fiber is what feeds your gut, it’s one of the tenants of the work we do here.
25-30 g each day is the goal for all of us.
This will help keep a healthy gut healthy AND repair and refeed a gut that needs repairing
The veggies that you might THINK are giving you tons of fiber may not be the super high fiber winners.
(Ironically, I’m talking about leafy greens here – they’re wonderful and you should have them often, they aren’t high in fiber)
So here’s how you can take some of your favorite things, STACK THEM so you can really start to have your fiber intake add up.
Here are some ideas:
I popped these together in 5 minutes using the Protein & Fiber Mix and Match Sheet (I’ll link it below if you want it again).
This is basically just a salad but intentionally adding pieces together:
1/2 C Edamame (4)
1/2 cucumber (1)
1 1/2 C mixed greens (2)
Total: 7 g fiber
Here’s a side you can make:
1/2 C peas (4)
1/2 C cooked onion (2)
Total: 6 g fiber
Fruit Cup:
1/2 Pear (3 g)
1/2 C Blackberries (4 g)
Total: 7 g fiber
PB&J Oatmeal:
1/2 C Oats (4)
1/2 C Strawberries (2)
2 T Peanut Butter Powder (2)
Total: 8 g fiber
Veggie Side:
1 C Brussel Sprouts (6)
1/4 C Pomegranate Seeds (2)
Total: 8 g fiber
1/2 C green beans (2)
1 oz almonds (3)
Total: 5 g fiber
Hope this helps you and your gut!
Remember: if you can’t tolerate eating fiber, that’s a problem! We can work on that 🙂
