Did you know over 97% of Canadians aren’t getting enough fibre?
Save this post for ways to eat more fibre and screenshot the fibre graphic below!
Women need about 25g/day and men need 38g/day — but most Canadians only get around 14–17g daily… about HALF of what’s recommended.
EVEN if you’re eating enough fruits & veggies in a day, you still may be short on fibre! There are a select amount of fibre powerhouses in our food supply.
And fibre impacts so much more than digestion, it impacts blood sugar management, cholesterol levels and more!
For these recipe swaps, I boosted fibre in the following ways:
Pasta Salad:
• The change to a chickpea pasta plus adding chickpeas and peas adds 9 g of fibre
Mixed Green Salad:
• Adding a sweet potato and roasted lentils add 11 g fibre.
Seitan Stirfry
• Adding barley and avocado adds 14 g fibre.
How are you boosting your fibre intake?
