Breakfast allows you to start your day off on the right note, and eating something delicious and healthy is the best way to do it. Cereal is one of the most popular breakfast dishes, but it’s usually not extremely healthy. Luckily, there are a few steps that you can take to up its fiber content.

Ditch Sugar

One of the biggest problems with cereal is that most of the popular varieties contain a lot of sugar. Sugary cereals usually aren’t very fiber-rich and contain about one gram of fiber per serving. You should avoid cereals that fall under this category and go for the ones that have at least three grams of fiber per serving.

Whole Grain Cereals

If you’re not sure which cereal to choose because you’re overwhelmed by too many options, take whole grain cereals into the consideration. They’re a much better pick than highly processed, sugary cereals because they usually contain a recommended amount of fiber.

Healthy Toppings

You can also easily up the fiber content of your breakfast cereal by using the right toppings. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds are some of the most popular healthy options on the market, but it’s important to use them in moderation so you wouldn’t transform your breakfast cereal into a calorie bomb.

When you think of adding fiber to your diet, what types of foods do you think of? While many of us might associate this nutrient with grains and vegetables, did you know that you can actually get a strong dose of fiber through certain fruits?

Fiber is extremely important for dietary health and is a crucial component of any healthy diet, so why not work these fruits into your routine?

Kiwis

Kiwis are a fantastically versatile fruit, as they can be enjoyed with or without their peel, in yogurts and desserts, or by themselves! Not only is this fruit tasty, but it also packs a healthy punch of 3 grams of fiber per 100 grams.

Pears

Pears are available in tons of different colors, varieties, and flavors, but what they all have in common is their generous fiber content. In fact, one medium-sized pear tends to contain around 5.5 grams of dietary fiber, nearly 25% of what you should consume per day of this nutrient!

Bananas

Bananas are a wonderful fruit that helps with dietary health, muscle cramps, and energy levels, and its levels of fibers are nothing to sneeze at either. A banana usually contains between 3 and 4 grams of dietary fiber, a great start to getting towards your daily needs of this nutrient.
