March Meal Makeover: Boosting Fiber Without Changing Your Whole Diet

March Meal Makeover: Boosting Fiber Without Changing Your Whole Diet

Most people don’t get enough fiber, yet it’s essential for digestion, gut health, and keeping you full. You don’t need a diet overhaul—just a few simple swaps to sneak in more fiber without effort.

When I first started focusing on fiber, I thought I had to eat a ton of bland salads to make it work. But then I realized I could just tweak what I was already eating. Swapping white rice for quinoa or throwing chia seeds into my yogurt made a huge difference in how I felt—without making my meals any less enjoyable.

Easy Fiber Swaps:

  • Switch white rice for quinoa (twice the fiber and more protein!)
  • Choose whole grain or sprouted bread over white bread.
  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
  • Snack on popcorn instead of chips for a high-fiber crunch.
  • Opt for beans or lentils instead of rice in burritos or bowls.
