Boost Your Health with This Ultimate High-Fiber Grocery List

Upgrade Your Grocery List: High Fiber Foods

  • Stock up on fiber-rich fruit: apples, bananas, oranges, and strawberries all have around 3 to 4 grams of fiber. Don’t forget to eat the apple peels — that’s where the most fiber is!
  • Raspberries win the fiber race at 8 grams per cup.
  • Mangoes, persimmons, and guavas are also good sources of fiber: A mango has 5 grams, a persimmon has 6, and 1 cup of guava has about 9.
  • Dark-colored vegetables. The darker the color, the more fiber. Carrots, beets, and broccoli are fiber-rich. Collard greens and Swiss chard have 4 grams of fiber per cup. Artichokes are among the highest-fiber veggies, at 10 grams for a medium-sized one.
  • Potatoes. Russet, red, and sweet potatoes all have at least 3 grams of fiber in a medium-sized spud, if you eat the skin and all.
  • Beans are a fiber-packed addition to your cart: navy and white beans are the most fiber-rich, and any variety is a good choice. They make great soups and chilis, and are a flavorful addition to salads. Beans are also high in protein, making them a healthy, filling substitute for red meat.
  • Other legumes like peas, soybeans (edamame), and lentils are also high in fiber.
  • Check cereal labels for at least 5 grams of fiber per serving.
  • Whole-grain breads like seven-grain, dark rye, cracked wheat, and pumpernickel are good choices.
  • Whole grains like bulgur wheat, brown rice, wild rice, and barley are tasty alternatives to white rice.
  • Nuts and seeds are great sources of fiber. An ounce of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, or almonds gives you at least 3 grams of fiber.
  • Popcorn is also a high-fiber option: three cups of air-popped popcorn have about 4 grams of fiber.
  • Look for milk, orange juice, and yogurt that are fiber fortified to boost your fiber intake.
