If there’s one nutrient your gut loves, it’s fiber. It feeds your beneficial bacteria, supports digestion, and helps reduce inflammation. But many people still fall short of the recommended daily intake.
Here are some of the best plant-based sources of fiber to keep your gut thriving:
- Chia seeds – Packed with soluble fiber and omega-3s. Add to smoothies or overnight oats.
- Lentils – Full of prebiotic fiber and protein. Great in soups and grain bowls.
- Oats – A gentle fiber that’s great for digestion and heart health.
- Avocados – Creamy, delicious, and rich in fiber and healthy fats.
- Berries – High in fiber and antioxidants. Perfect for topping meals or blending into shakes.
- Broccoli – Cruciferous veggies help detox the gut and keep things moving.
To maximize benefits, aim to include a variety of fiber sources throughout the day. Start with breakfast, sneak some into your snacks, and load up on veggies at dinner.
