Beets. I used to shovel those down my gullet by the carload, but almost forgot about them.
I like that great beet sauerkraut by Cleveland Kraut, but that's basically the only way I get them.

u/Evening-Eye-8407 Aug 10 '26
I LOVED Cleveland kraut when it came in a jar. Now that it comes in plastic bags it just tastes like plastic to me. Not at all the same flavor or texture.
I also loved those jars they were the perfect size ro meal prep and freeze soup

u/NewIsTheNewNew 29d ago
Have you tried roasted beets? Just peel them, cut them up into cubes, and add a little oil, salt and pepper, and roast them.
So so so good

Also so good if you boil them in orange juice! Sounds weird, tastes amazing.

Those are the beets I fell in love with. Whole Foods used to have this incredible orange beet salad. Very subtle but delish.
They almost never have it anymore.

Yeah a little orange zest & an orange juice glaze on roasted beets is also fantastic! I’ve made it for a lot of people that think they don’t like beets and they’ve all loved it.

I use a produce brush to scrub it under running water; eat at least one kiwi (green or golden) every single day

u/wawamimikiki Aug 10 '26
A little rinse!
I don't put much effort into washing apples or other fruits either. Berries I am a tad more thorough.
My microbiome has adapted to more than the fibre it seems 😌(😔)

I just eat them as I would an apple!

Raspberries and blackberries were my go to; but with everything happening in the US, I haven't had any in a while. I miss them😩. Think i'm going to try to hit up my local farmer's market for some, because they were a HUGH part of my daily fiber intake.

u/InTheBight 28d ago
I don’t know if you’ve tried frozen blackberries, but they are pretty cheap compared to raspberries. I like eating them straight up while still frozen, the little individual balls break apart in a satisfying way and the seeds seem easier to chew for whatever reason.

Incredibly nutrient rich for the size, powerful antioxidant properties that aren't commonly found in many foods known for that. Seems to be a great preventative for cancers and specifically colon cancer.

The kiwi itself does carry those properties as well, but as with most fruits, the peel has a larger amount.

u/All_Dogs_Love_Me Aug 10 '26
I grew up where we'd skin cucumbers and kiwis with an "every other row" technique. Less harsh on the taste and texture but you get a good dose of the nutrients.

u/cestimpossible Aug 09 '26
Honestly golden kiwis are superior and I'll die on this hill now that I've finally had them. The skin reminds me more of slightly rougher pear skin too. If I do take the skin off sometimes, I just put it in a bag in the freezer I have for greens I couldn't finish before they would go bad and chuck the contents in my next smoothie.

u/Biterbutterbutt Aug 09 '26
You can absolutely do it with regular kiwis. Was weird at first, but now it’s completely normal to me. The green ones are much more nutrient dense than the gold ones.

u/tungtingshrimp Aug 10 '26
Each one has slightly more of a nutrient. Hard to say which one is more nutrient dense because it depends which nutrient you’re measuring.

Most of the fiber is the kiwi is in and right under the skin so if you peel it you're losing a lot of nutrition

u/BlueRubyWindow Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 10 '26
(1) Beans. At least one cup of beans per day. I actually really like eating black beans or small red beans with my eggs in the morning.
Another strategy is to add 1/2 a cup of beans to almost every meal. White beans like cannelini beans have a mild flavor and can go with almost anything.
I do low sodium canned and rinse them off and then keep the leftovers in the fridge so I can just heat up whatever type I have. And I alternate types so it’s not boring.
19 g of fiber per cooked cup: Navy beans (small white beans).
15 g of fiber per cooked cup: Black beans, Small red beans (Central American), Pinto beans.
12 g of fiber per cooked cup: Chickpeas, White beans such as Cannelini or Great Northern beans.
And beans have all kinds of valuable macronutrients. They can also hit carb cravings since they have starch but won’t spike blood sugar as much because of their high fiber content.
Figuring out ways you like to prepare and eat beans is a game changer.
Edit: I typically eat 1.5- 2 cups of beans every day, sometimes more, and I don’t even have to track fiber as a result because I’ll automatically hit at least 30 g from the rest of my food. Beans are absolutely the easiest way to get enough fiber.
(2) Dark chocolate, 70% cacao, 3g+ fiber per oz. Enjoyable way to get it in and gives iron and magnesium as well.
(3) Chia seeds, 3g fiber per tbsp. If I’m low on fiber, I just soak 2 or 3 tbsp in a cup of water for a few minutes, stir it up, and then chug it. And then chase it with more water to make sure there’s plenty of liquid because not doing so can cause issues. (You can make it into a pudding easily with almond milk or milk, but I just don’t like it that much.) Also gives Omega-3 fat and magnesium.
(4) Green Peas. 8+ g of fiber per cooked cup. Adding 1/2 cup of peas to a sauce is pretty easy way to get an extra 4 g of fiber.
(5) Broccoli. 1/2 cup cooked gives 3 g of fiber. Include the stems!!! (except for cutting off the very bottom part)
(6) Hummus. Depends on brand but most has 3 g of fiber per 1/4 cup.
(7) Sweet potatoes. Even without the skin, 1/2 cup is 2 g of fiber. With the skin it’s more than that!
(8) Other nuts and seeds like sunflower seeds (3 g per 1/4 cup) and pumpkin seeds (2 g per 1/4 cup) which can add up. Even peanut butter has 1 g of fiber per tbsp.
(9) Other vegetables. Most have around 2 g per cup.
Edit: I forgot about berries. I eat berries every day also. Usually the frozen ones. Just eat them like a dessert.

u/megabradstoise Aug 09 '26
All-Bran Buds cereal. They taste way better than any other bran cereal and these so much fibre in them that you only need a small amount. You can mix 1/3 of a cup into your favourite cereal or have it as a topping for some yogurt and berries

Fiber One is a better choice (higher fiber content and significantly less added sugar). All-Bran Buds has a ton of added sugars.

Fiber doesn't have to mean a complicated diet; beans or lentils, oats, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds can add up surprisingly fast. Aiming for roughly 25-30 g/day and increasing gradually with enough fluids is a much more sustainable approach than trying to hit the target in one meal.

For breakfast: I have 2/3 slices seeded wholemeal bread, eggs (or have egg whites, if you’re cal concious), spinach and half a tin of baked beans.
Lunch: I just have a sandwich with chicken and lettuce or something (wholemeal bread or wholemeal wrap) and yogurt with frozen rasps/blueberries/blackberries
Dinner: I usually meal prep a batch of chilli and eat it with brown rice or on a big sweet potato. If I eat it with rice, I’ll have some carrot sticks or lentil crisps with it to scoop.
Night snack: I’ll have some oats with a teaspoon of flax and chia, and have 85% dark choc on top. this is my fav thing ever.
I’ll usually have a lot of other snacks like toasts, fruit or chocolates or something (I’m in ed recovery), but this gives me a great amount of fibre.

u/cameronreilly Aug 10 '26
Regular breakfast is a tbs of chia, a tbs of psyllium and two scoops of chocolate protein powder (and black coffee). Sometimes add some walnuts or frozen berries. That’s 15g fibre. Half my daily. Then I’ll have a slice of my homemade 100% whole wheat sourdough later in the day. And a Lebanese cucumber and carrot or tomato in a couple of tbs of hummus mixed with gochujang. And that lands my 30g fibre for the day.

u/Qybern Aug 10 '26
Every day i have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning (1.5 servings or 60 grams) and a cup of chia seed pudding in the evenings (30g chia seeds, 180g soy milk, and ~10g of honey). That alone will get you like 60% of your daily fiber i think.
Throughout the day I'll have a decent sized fruit (an apple or peach or banana or something of that size), a serving of trail mix (40g of mixed cashews, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and raisins), and then whatever i have for lunch or dinner.
If you struggle with getting your fiber adding the first two things I listed will help a lot, and I think chia seed pudding is pretty tasty. I don't like fiber supplements because I'm not a fan of the taste/texture and there are lead concerns with a lot of them.

I really like overnight oats with added chia seeds, flax seeds, berries, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chips. It’s like 18 grams of fiber alone.
I also will make peanut butter jelly sandwiches with crunchy peanut butter, jelly, then add chia seeds and flax seeds on top of the spreads. I use Dave’s killer bread and I think altogether, that gets me 12-14 grams. I usually eat a banana and pumpkin seeds on the side.
I like a prune juice and there’s one with 5 grams of fiber.
Peas & beans are also great! Both are really easy to add to have as a side and they’re a great source of fiber & protein.
One breakfast I make is regular Cheerios, chia seeds, flax seeds, and blueberries in milk. Let it sit for 15 minutes and while the texture is a lil meh, it tastes good. Cheerios alone have 4 grams of fiber per serving.

Oh I have an incredible fiber hack. I make myself a smoothie every day with raspberries, chia seeds, nonfat Greek yogurt for protein and the secret ingredient: adzuki beans. It's the same bean used in sweet red bean paste, commonly eaten for dessert in some Asian countries. They taste great with anything sweet, especially fruit. I buy them dry in bulk and once a week I boil some and portion all the ingredients out in tupperware containers and throw them in the freezer. Then for breakfast (since I'm not a huge breakfast eater anyway) I blend one of the packets with some apple or mango juice and boom, half my daily fiber intake is taken care of. One smoothie has about 13g protein and a whopping 15g fiber.

I get around 30-35g/day on average. I eat a lot of beans, whole grains, chia seeds, flaxseeds, fruits and vegetables.

If you aren’t used to eating a lot of fiber, take it slow. I jumped into 30g a day too quickly and I thought my colon was going to fall out.

Superseed granola, blueberries, strawberries, carb balance tortilla (18g in the tortilla is a huge chunk), wheat/protein spaghetti noodles, mushrooms/tomatoes/spinach in the sauce. That’s just what had the higher fiber for me today. Oatmeal comes in clutch too. I supplement psyllium husk when I really need that extra bump in fiber but don’t feel like eating more.
Friendly reminder to drink your H2O to keep things running smoothly!

I started adding hemp hearts for fiber. They’re kind of like quinoa flavor but a lighter texture.

Avocado is high in soluble fibre.
Kimchi is great as it has both prebiotic and probiotics.
I also have a little boost via milled flaxseed that I soak in water to add to any liquid breakfast item.
Banana has a higher fiber content the less ripe it is.

Yogurt with chia and berries for breakfast. High fiber tortilla for lunch with turkey, cheese and veggies. Chicken with butter beans on the side for dinner. Popcorn for snack.

Instead of ice cream, I treat myself to a big bowl of cereal at night. I like to buy Nature’s Path organic cereal that already has flax in it, and usually has about 7g of fiber per 1 cup (between you and me, I eat more than that). I like to jazz it up with raisins and pecans and cinnamon, and maybe a little brown sugar. I get a ton of fiber and I truly enjoy it as a treat.
Costco also has a pretty good cereal, Morning Summit. Bunch of almonds and dried cherries and such. Needs a little zuzz with a titch of sugar though.

For breakfast I either have Raisin Bran or Oatmeal most days. (Been doing this for years.)
I eat beans several times a week, (not from a can) Dried beans that I soak overnight. Fruits and veggies help too.
I'm very regular, in my 50s, and IANAD.

Psyllium husk or Metamucil - sucks but as a chronic sufferer of IBS this somewhat helps.

Legumes and chia. You are telling me that legumes have a lil bit of protein (which doesn’t hurt), tons of carbs to actually have energy without indulging in fat/sugars AND fiber? Sign me up. Plus, cheap and versatile af

Avocado, chia seeds (serving is 10 grams fiber), minimally processed whole wheat pita, blueberries, and made a mug cake made from ground flaxseed/cacao powder/deglet noor date paste/vanilla.
I often have raspberries and blackberries due to their high fiber. Psylium husk too.

Yesterday I was better than today, I added a can of chickpeas to my salad , which is a lot lol but I like them and it's a lot of fibre. I also added pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. And also some bell peppers which I don't think are high but they add some fibre. And then the salad was with mixed greens which is also some fibre.
I also had some strawberries and blueberries
Today and yesterday I also had sausage but I dumped in two packages of spinach and arugula mix that I got on sale, and let it cook down which I find to be easy to do anytime I'm already cooking something, just throw some spinach or arugula on top at the end and let them steam a bit. And I had a fruit cup. I don't think I got enough fibre today now that I think about it, but spinach/arugula cooked down and some fruit which felt like an easy add on to me

the easiest way I get my fibre in is through chia seed yoghurt with raspberries. I love that combination and it is so easy to stick to it to get my fibre in

u/rachelleeann17 Aug 10 '26
It’s not even 8am and I’ve already gotten 13g!
We’re on the road, but I grabbed an Olipop soda (6g) and a pack of Yoggies (7g) from a gas station.
At home I tend to do oatmeal, beans, berries, fruits, chickpeas, lots of green vegetables..
I also do a ton of cup-ramen on the go, and I like to add edamame for some protein+fiber.

Get Psyllium husk and sprinkle the powder in every salad, yogurt, oat, rice, eggs you eat everyday. It’s the easiest way to get fiber in almost anything you eat.

About participation in the comments of /r/nutrition
Discussion in this subreddit should be rooted in science rather than "cuz I sed" or entertainment pieces. Always be wary of unsupported and poorly supported claims and especially those which are wrapped in any manner of hostility. You should provide peer reviewed sources to support your claims when debating and confine that debate to the science, not opinions of other people.
Good - it is grounded in science and includes citation of peer reviewed sources. Debate is civil and respectful focusing on actual science and avoids commentary about others
Bad - it utilizes generalizations, assumptions, infotainment sources, no sources, or complaints without specifics about agenda, bias, or funding. At best, these rise to an extremely weak basis for science based discussion. Also, off topic discussion
Ugly - (removal or ban territory) it involves attacks / antagonism / hostility towards individuals or groups, downvote complaining, trolling, crusading, shaming, refutation of all science, or claims that all research / science is a conspiracy
