A nutritional survey found that about 95% Americans do not meet their recommended daily intake (RDI) of fiber. The RDI of fiber ranges from 21-38 grams, depending on your age and gender. Most people have a lot of room for improvement on this nutrient, which plays an essential role in regulating bowel movements, nurturing the gut, and filling you up. In this article, we detail easy ways to add more fiber to your diet<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try Chickpea Pasta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard not to love pasta, especially because you can usually throw a recipe together in 30 minutes or less. The unfortunate reality is that most people use jarred sauce (full of sodium) and boxed pasta enriched with poor quality ingredients. Instead of feeling tired and bloated, consider switching to chickpea pasta to increase your fiber intake<\/a>. Two ounces of chickpea pasta (about one cup of noodles) offers eight grams of fiber, which is a major increase from two grams of fiber from regular pasta. Chickpea pasta also has twice the protein content as regular pasta and it\u2019s gluten-free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Lentils To Grain Bowls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can easily customize grain bowls, but a lot of people like to use rice as the base. Rice, even brown rice, is not the best source of fiber<\/a>. One cup of brown rice offers 1.6 grams of fiber, while a mere half-cup of lentils offers eight grams of fiber. If you enjoy rice, consider a lentil-rice mixture to enhance the fiber content of your grain bowl. Plus, a half-cup of lentils offers nine grams of protein, and a good portion of the fiber in lentils comes from prebiotics, which feed the probiotics in your gut.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blend Kiwis Into Your Smoothies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kiwis have an incredible vitamin C<\/a> content and they are bursting with antioxidants. They also contain fiber, with two kiwis offering four to five grams, depending on the size. Half of that fiber content, however, is concentrated in the skin. Most people do not enjoy snacking on fuzzy kiwi skin, though. In order to reap all the fiber benefits of kiwis, toss a couple whole kiwis into your smoothie. You won\u2019t even taste the skin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Chia Pudding With Berries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most dietitians agree that breakfast is the best meal of the day to load up on fiber-rich foods<\/strong><\/a>. In doing so, you will be full and energized until lunch, avoiding unnecessary snacking. Both chia seeds and berries contain a lot of fiber, despite their small size. A half-cup of raspberries and one tablespoon of chia seeds provide four grams of fiber, each. We have many chia pudding recipes available in our recipe section (click here<\/a>) if you need some inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snack On Nuts And Figs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each fig, depending on the size, generally provides one gram of fiber, and one serving of figs is roughly between three to five fruits. Pair those figs with a quarter-cup of almonds for four more grams of fiber and six grams of protein<\/a>. That makes almonds and figs an ideal snack to give you a natural pick-me-up and fill you up between meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Pears To Your Salads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pears are sneaky fiber superstars, with one medium pear offering five to six grams of fiber. Can you enjoy pears as healthy snacks<\/a> from time to time? Sure, but adding them to salads can give you a better fiber bang for your buck. Pair your pears with kale (one gram of fiber per cup) and other fiber-rich ingredients for a filling, lunchtime salad!<\/p>\n
