Planning High Fiber Snacks
How are y'all doing with your fiber intake? Remember our goal is 25-40 grams of fiber daily! We've already discussed ways to make your breakfast fiber-rich, so let's move on to snacks.
I've learned that planning snacks is important to a successful nutritional day. For the Fiber Challenge, we will focus on planning fiber-filled snacks. I usually try to have two food groups included in my snacks.

Here are a few suggestions:
- raw veggies with hummus
- apple or banana with nut butter
- 1 oz cheese with whole wheat bread or crackers (Triscuits are my fave because of the small ingredient list!)
- granola with dried fruit (I like mine plain or with yogurt)
- granola bar or snack bar for on-the-go snacking (Larabars are a fave)

Great ideas for snacking!! I didn't realize Larabars were a fiber rich snack. I haven't really ever looked at them before. Will have to check them out! My favorite snack not mentioned is whole wheat toast topped with honey or sugar-free jam. I get the crunch I'm looking for and the sweetness I crave! :)

Larabars aren't necessarily high fiber, but they are a great on-the-go snack with fiber. I love whole wheat toast as a snack too.
Thanks for sharing, Jessica!
