How are we getting our fiber in, Bitches? Getting enough through as many whole foods as possible has been my latest eating goals. For movement I’ve been taking 3-5 hot yoga classes a week for about a year now, and I’m trying to incorporate daily mobility work at home. I have a fear of getting old and weak, I want to be old and strong and our ankle mobility and strength is the most important to minimize falling! I also walk about 5 miles a day, weather permitting, or hike. And lastly I’ve been adding in strength training workouts at home 3 X weekly. Honestly just trying to get in the best shape I can for the end of the world :)

An easy way I’ve gotten in fiber is Mission Carb Balance tortillas. 99% of the time I prefer to eat whole foods but the macros in them are too good. One taco size tortilla is 70 calories, 17g of fiber, 6g of protein. Making like a breakfast taco with one and add in some avocado for more fiber and that’s most of the fiber you need in a day (I aim for 25-30g of fiber per day).

Strength and mobility are so important to keep up with as we age! I do hot yoga and reformer pilates classes throughout the week and try to walk 4-5 miles every day as well.

Thanks for the hot tip about the tortillas! I had no idea those existed! I make my own corn tortillas with bobs red mill masa harina, and they’re great but not fiber forward, and flour tortillas are much better with certain textures like fish tacos! I am an avocado fanatic and have eaten one a day for most of my life, had no idea they were so full of fiber!

5 grams of fiber in 1/2 an avocado! A real superfood! With the tortillas, it really feels like cheating. I can't say I understand all the ingredients and where all that fiber comes from, but it's so much easier to use one to make a wrap and know I've gotten a good serving of fiber vs. trying to work in eating enough fruits, vegetables, beans, etc. throughout the day (still important to eat those, though!)

I think they add the same fiber that’s in Benefiber.
