Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share a snack idea that’s easy, filling, delicious, and a great way to sneak some additional fiber into your day.
It takes 5 seconds to make and contains at least that many grams of fiber, depending on the ingredients you choose to use.
Frankly, I’m not great at naming things, so I just call this recipe “Fiber Snack.” Which I know sounds kinda bland and geriatric, but it’s actually really delicious and has become my favorite afternoon snack lately!
This recipe is really more of a template, so feel free to mix and match components and quantities to suit your tastes. The basic template is: a base of some kind + 2 tbsp fiber + additional flavor/crunch/fruit.
My current favorite combo is a base of applesauce + ground chia and ground flax seeds (for fiber) + chopped walnuts. Sometimes I’ll also add raisins or dried cranberries for a little extra sweetness.
Enjoy!
Easy Fiber Snack
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (or stewed apples, kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese, smoothie, or watered down overnight oats—whatever you prefer for your base)
10-15 very roughly chopped walnuts (or other nuts, seeds, granola or fruit!)
1 tablespoon* each of two fiber sources: such as ground chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, psyllium husk powder, etc
* Remember to make friends with new fiber sources slowly! Start with about a teaspoon and work up gradually from there.INSTRUCTIONS
Adjust any of the quantities as needed to suit your preferences or fiber tolerance.
Add the applesauce (or other base) to a bowl, stir in the other ingredients, and enjoy.
