25 Best High-Fiber Breakfast Recipes To Meet Your Daily Fiber Goals Early

It's official: Fiber is the new food health trend. But getting enough of it is more than just a trend; it's a great way to ensure that you're satisfied with your meals and feeling your best. That's why we love starting the day with a generous dose of fiber. Luckily, you can find a ton of fiber in many of the breakfast foods you already eat, including avocados, chia seeds, fruit, and more.

We've collected some of our all-time favorite high-fiber breakfast recipes that you can add to your daily rotation. Many can be made ahead, meaning you can just grab and go in the morning, or take your time making them for brunch on lazy weekends. Either way, you can feel good about the fact that you're getting plenty of fiber on your plate in the morning — no strange-tasting supplements required.

Yes, parfaits are relatively simple to make, but there's something about them that still just feels so fancy. If you can get your hands on some apples, try this apple breakfast parfait recipe, which looks like it belongs at a cute café and contains 12.8 grams of fiber per serving.

Simmering the apples with spices infuses them with flavor, softens them, and sweetens them. You're left with a parfait that tastes more like a dessert than a breakfast but that still gives you the energy you need to take on your day.

If you're trying to work more fruit into your diet, try making a smoothie bowl. There are plenty of fruits you can add to it, but peach might just be one of the tastiest. 

Combining the fruit with almonds makes the flavor of this bowl, which contains 9.4 grams of fiber per serving, more complex and rich. Top with bananas, oats, and slivered almonds — in addition to some fresh peach slices — to give this breakfast more texture than a plain smoothie.

Anyone who is trying to work more fiber into their diet should try eating more flax seeds. They're the main ingredient in this vegan waffle recipe, which has 5 grams of fiber per serving. The seeds give the waffles an interesting, hearty texture that'll keep you feeling full. 

Once you've made your waffles, add your toppings of choice to give them even more flavor. We like using fresh fruit, maple syrup, and butter, but you can also add coconut flakes, chocolate chips, honey, or any other sweet accoutrements you have on hand.

Smoothies can taste boring, but that's not an issue with this healthy Black Forest smoothie.

Make this recipe once, and you'll never want to go back to a boring old berry smoothie ever again.
