Did you know most Americans eat less than HALF the amount of fiber that’s recommended?? Fiber is the key to amazing gut health, blood sugar regulation, and feelings of fullness and satisfaction with meals! It can seem daunting to meet the 25-38 g fiber/day recs, BUT we’ve got a hack for you! Try a fiber focused smoothie for breakfast! We promise you don’t taste the beans 😅

Raspberries, Blueberries, Greek Yogurt, Milk, Banana, Flaxseed, Avocado, and White Navy Beans all come together to create a delicious 16 g fiber power smoothie 🤌
