Research shows that many of us are falling short of the recommended fibre intake by around 35% – missing the daily target of 30g by at least 10g. If that's you and you find it a struggle to reach the magic number, give these 5 fast fibre fixes a try to help boost your intake!

Breakfast

Top your morning fruit and yogurt with 20g All Bran = 5.3g fibre

Lunch

Use 40g reduced fat houmous as a spread instead of margarine in your sandwiches, and top with half an avocado too = 5g fibre

Dinner

Add a heaped tablespoon of milled seeds (e.g. flaxseed) to your soups, stews or salads = 5g fibre

Snack 1

Ditch your regular cereal bar in favour of a Fibre One bar = 5.1g fibre

Snack 2

Instead of a handful of plain nuts, season and roast 125g of chickpeas to snack on = 5.1g fibre

Remember:Make sure you track all your food and any extras to keep on top of your calories too!
