Truly High Fiber Breakfast

When it comes to Fiber (or Fibre in the UK), I've found that there are a range of breakfasts that claim to be high in fiber but may not contain as much as you think.

Based on my own shopping experience of looking for the highest fiber breakfast I could find, I've found cereals with 8g per 100g of fiber claiming to be high in fiber, as well as porridge or muesli with 11g per 100g of fiber, and the well publicized Kellogg's Bran Flakes with 15g per 100g of fiber. None of these are what I consider to be truly high in fiber. That said, they do have fiber in them which could help towards a daily fiber amount of 25g or more, in conjunction with other food you eat throughout the day, baring in mind that on most days you will have a breakfast cereal that is between 30-50g.

It is possible to get an entire day's worth of fiber in one sitting however without overdoing it on the calories. That answer is Kellogg's All-Bran, which incidentally is a lower carb option than many other breakfast cereals. Adding fruit on top can help too. If you're a person who is very much into fitness and nutrition as a lifestyle, you've probably heard that you should make breakfast the biggest and most important meal of the day. Based on this approach I believe the ultimate high fibre breakfast to be the following:

Kellogg's All-Bran ((95g) (25.7g Fiber / 13.3g Protein / 266 calories)

Skimmed Goats Milk (150ml) (0g Fiber / 4.5g Protein / 45 calories)
OR Oat Milk(150ml) (150ml) (1.2g Fiber / 1.5g Protein / 52 calories)

Raspberries (170g) (4.2g Fiber / 2.4g Protein / 42 calories)

This ia a solid healthy breakfast high in Protein and Fiber, and with around 350 calories depending on your choice of dairy or non-dairy milk.

Try it tomorrow. It may give you that extra boost that lasts the entire day. Enjoy!
