The majority of the population does not eat enough fiber in their diets. Fiber is not only beneficial for gut health, but it is slower digesting and can help you feel more satisfied and satiated longer after a meal. Here are 5 ways that can help you add more fiber to your diet:

1. Aim to eat a fruit or vegetable w/ each meal. Spreading fiber throughout the day can help prevent any GI distress and sneaking in an extra serving of fruits/vegetables can add upwards of 6-15g of fiber to your day

2. Blend up oats into a smoothie - oatmeal is a great option to help bump up your fiber. If you are not a fan of oats then mixing them in with a smoothie or into greek yogurt can be a great way to sneak in some extra fiber

3. Add black beans to your burrito bowl - even a small serving (1/2 cup) of black beans has 7g of fiber! Mixing those in with your rice and salsa can elevate your meal and help keep you feeling full

4. Add avocado or hummus to your wraps, sandwiches, salads, etc. - 1/2 of an avocado contains roughly 4-6g of fiber so think twice about skipping the avocado toast

5. Swap out your breads - certain brands of bread and tortillas contain more fiber than others, so check your nutrition labels and aim for something that is higher in fiber to help boost your daily intake
