Fibre is slowly becoming the new buzzword ❕❕One that protein has comfortably held for years & for good reason.
Fibre is essential for a healthy diet. It’s a type of carbohydrate found in plant foods that supports digestion, gut health, blood sugar control, and helps keep you fuller for longer. Yet most people aren’t getting enough, the daily recommendation is 25-30g each day.
When I work with clients, I encourage them to focus on fibre just as much as protein. Fibre naturally pushes you toward a healthier diet, more vegetables, fruits, seeds, and whole foods packed with micronutrients your body needs.
Some easy high-fibre foods to add in 👇
🍓Raspberries: 8g (125g punnet)
🫘Chickpeas: 6g (100g cooked)
🥄 Chia seeds: 5g (1 tbsp)
🥣Oats: 4g (40g dry)
🥦Broccoli: 3g (100g)
Yes, not all high-fibre foods are high in protein, but when you’re choosing quality protein sources, adding fibre-rich foods should be a priority for long-term health. Remember, your nutrition is built up of more than just protein, it’s the combination of all the foods you eat that nourishes your body and supports your wellbeing. What you eat affects everything, your mood, energy, digestion, and overall satisfaction.
So if you’re counting your protein, maybe start counting your plants too 🌱
Add colour to your plate, feed your gut, and your body (and mood) will thank you 😉
