Adequate intake of dietary fiber is associated with digestive health and reduced risk for heart disease, stroke, hypertension, certain gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. According to consumer research, the ...
It being winter right now, I tend to make soups and chilis. In fact, my Wife made a big slow cooker full of chili. We ate that for 2 days and froze the leftovers, (chili freezes very well). A few days before that, I made chicken soup. In addition to the onions and celery, (for god’s sake don’t throw out the leaves! They taste more like celery than the stalks). I added a whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables and 2 small potatoes, (peeled and cubed and an awesome source of vitamins and soluble fiber), that needed to go. And for meat, all I needed was 2 chicken thighs cut up into spoon sized pieces. Vegetable curries are awesome. Stir fries are easy, cheap, and fast. (If you don’t own a wok, get you a carbon steel wok. Next to a good cast iron dutch oven, a wok is the most versatile cooking pot you can own). And don’t forget root vegetables, rutabagas, parsnips, turnips, and beets. They not only can be tossed into soups, well maybe not the beets, but all of the are awesome roasted too. You can look up recipes online, but you really don’t need a recipe for chicken soup. Just some basic spices and seasonings.
I will leave you with my recipe for oatmeal bread. And for god’s sake, don’t buy expensive oat flour from the store instead make your own in a blender in a minute or less from dirt cheap rolled oats. You want this quick bread ‘rustic’.
Ingredients for Oatmeal Bread Recipe:
2 eggs.
150 g yogurt/5 oz.
half a teaspoon of salt.
2 cups + 0.5 cups/275-280 grams of rolled oats. 9.8 oz. grind in a blender.
1 tbsp baking powder.
Add any nuts and seeds to taste-- or not. Dealer’s Choice
Grease you bread pan well. I use silicone bread pans now
Bake in a preheated oven at 180C/360F for 25 minutes.
The yogurt can be either plain or a flavored yogurt. I like either yogurt with honey or vanilla myself.
This make a stiff dough, so have a sturdy spoon.
Holy shit thank you! Interesting I never knew about the celery leaves but, but then again most recipes that call from celery it’s being used with onion and carrot as a base. Again thank you for the extensive type up and the recipe!
Per person: I cook a head of cabbage, carrots, onions in butter+stock, and one sliced sausage. Several meals worth of tasty vegetables + a small, but sufficient, amount of protein.
Slice zucchini, sauté in butter til tender, then grate Swiss cheese in cream, mix everything in casserole dish. Bake til golden.
Halve a spaghetti squash, remove seeds, fill with small goat cheese mixed with plenty of precooked leafy greens. Top with nuts (I like sunflower, but anything goes) for a bit of crunch. Bake til tender.
But I think I’m missing something here. Just eat vegetables, you’ll get plenty of fiber.
Oh man I LOVE spaghetti squash. I usually bake it half side down, brown up some medium Italian sausage, then use a pepper tomato sauce. It’s like spaghetti but better! Thanks for the other recipe suggestions!
Oats are great. Actually any whole grain, fruit and veg will be great. Fruits are good to keep low because they have a lot of sugar, but an apple or pear a day are great fiber sources. All greens are your friends as well, artichokes, anything with leaves and stems…
What are some easy fiber foods you enjoy? I’m doing a diet change due to exercise and hadn’t considered fiber.
Anything from soups to salads.

Yikes. Not only would that cause me terrible bloating, and inflammation aggravating autoimmune conditions, it’d make me bleed from my ass. No joke.
Sunflower’s not a nut. And it’s what’s in that that’d make me bleed from my ass.
Not this person. *Runs away* n_n
Apples. Lots of fiber.
