Soluble Fiber Foods + Benefits + Recipes
We’ve all heard that eating more fiber is good for weight management and overall health. While both types are important, soluble fiber takes the crown. From lowering cholesterol to balancing blood sugar and improving gut health, it’s the type of fiber you don’t want to overlook
Now, I always emphasize that it’s more important to focus on getting enough total fiber than stressing over the type. That’s for two key reasons: first, most high-fiber foods naturally consist of both soluble and insoluble fiber; and second, the majority of Americans still fall well short of the daily fiber recommendations.
That being said, if you are one of those super curious and well-informed individuals, it doesn’t hurt to understand just how significant soluble fiber is and how to get more of it in your diet.
Easy Ways to Eat More Soluble Fiber
Adding soluble fiber doesn’t have to mean a major diet overhaul. Here are some simple ways to fit it in:
Start your day with oats. Overnight oats with chia seeds, a spoonful of peanut butter, and apple slices.
Upgrade your smoothie. Blend in psyllium husk or flaxseeds plus oranges, apples or pears.
Swap your sides. Choose barley or lentil soup instead of plain white rice.
Snack smart. Apple slices with almond butter or roasted chickpeas.
Bake with a boost. Add psyllium husk or ground flaxseed to muffins or breads.
Add garlic and onion more often. Both are rich in prebiotic fiber.
