When you are preparing a meal you want to make sure you have the three main macronutrients included: protein, fat, and fiber for you to feel satisfied. Fiber is just as important as protein—it gives you energy and keeps you full and satiated until your next meal. To get your fiber fix for the day, fill your plate with lots of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Here are a few dishes filled with fiber for you to add to your weekly menu.

Roasted Vegetable Bowl

This dish couldn’t be easier to prepare and is full of fiber. Choose any vegetables you enjoy, roast them in olive oil, and toss them into a bowl, to add more fiber. Add in some rice or quinoa and top them with roasted chicken for your protein.

Beef Stew

This hearty meal is packed with fiber from the vegetables and beans and it will keep you warm throughout the winter. You can put all the ingredients in an instant pot and let it cook all day, making it simple and less time-consuming.

Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry

This butternut squash and chickpea curry should be top of your list to make this winter—it is so flavorful and filling and is a perfect meal to eat after a busy day. The fiber content is high from the butternut squash and chickpeas and every bite is so tasty because of all the spices used.

Every dinner party needs delicious appetizers to start the meal and instead of a charcuterie board, which you will see everywhere, why not kick it up a notch by serving these retro appetizers? They might seem a little old school, but you can always modernize them with different toppings, herbs, and spices.

Mushroom Vol-au-Vents

This creamy puffy pastry dish is a great starter for a meal. You can make them super small so your guests won’t get too full, and you can swap out the mushrooms for asparagus or prawns and ricotta. They are versatile and easy to make (if you buy the ready-made pastry).

Prawn Cocktail

You can’t go wrong with a prawn cocktail appetizer, it might be considered a little old-fashioned, but it is still a favorite amongst most people. You can barbecue the prawns to add some more flavor, or if you want to really modernize it, put it on a taco for a bite-size starter.

Sticky Chicken Wings

Sticky chicken wings might be a little messy, but they are a fabulous appetizer for every meal. You can make them with pineapple for a fruity twist or barbecue sauce. Whatever sauce you decide to use, remember to give your guests lots of napkins.
