High Fiber Breakfast Ideas

I came across some breakfast recipes, thanks to Pinterest, and I wanted to share some of them with you. I am always looking for new recipes and ideas for healthy, yet filling, tasty food to eat.

Get Spicy


Give huevos rancheros a twist by adding spinach, red peppers, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Top with salsa, beans, and some slices of avocado. Eat plain or with a small whole-wheat tortilla.

Fiber content:
2 eggs: 0 grams
1 cup raw spinach: .7 grams
1/2 cup chopped red peppers: one gram
4 medium mushrooms, sliced: .7 grams
8 cherry tomatoes: 1.6 grams
2 tablespoons black bean and corn salsa: two grams
1/4 cup black beans: three grams
1/4 of an avocado: 3.4 grams
1 whole-wheat tortilla: three grams
Total fiber: 15.4 grams

Drink Your Fiber


The beauty of the smoothie is that — aside from the high fiber found in berries, pears, and other fruits — adding in nuts and veggies or legumes can increase the fiber without affecting flavor.

6 ounces nonfat blueberry Greek yogurt: .5 grams
1/2 cup blueberries: 1.8 grams
8 strawberries: 1.9 grams
1 banana: 3.1 grams
1 cup raw spinach: .7 grams
1/2 tablespoon peanut butter: .5 grams
1/4 cup cannellini beans: 2.5 grams
Total fiber: 11 grams

Get Crunchy

For a quick, high-fiber breakfast, go for nut butter on toast. Almond butter has more fiber than peanut butter, and if you top it with fresh fruit instead of sugary jam, the fiber content will be jacked up even more.

2 slices whole-wheat bread: six grams
2 tablespoons almond butter: four grams
1 banana, sliced: 3.1 grams
Total fiber: 13.1 grams
