Reasons We Love Fiber Smoothies
- It can be challenging to get enough fiber in your diet. Fiber is critical to keeping things moving in your digestive tract and improving symptoms of constipation. It also keeps you full and satisfied, which helps curb cravings.
- High Fiber Smoothies for weight loss along with a high-fiber diet of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can also help with weight management.
- Oats contain beta-glucan, which is widely researched for its ability to lower cholesterol.
- Ground flaxseed and chia, along with being high in fiber, contain healthy omega-3 anti-inflammatory fat.
- Apples are also high in fiber and contain soluble fiber. “Soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a gel-like substance in the gut. As a result, it adds bulk to stool and acts as a stool softener, making it easier to pass stool.” – Top Foods That Help With Constipation.
- This is an excellent high-fiber smoothie for kids with constipation. If your children have never had flaxseed, I would start with a teaspoon rather than several tablespoons. Also, make sure the flaxseed is finely ground, which is why we love the light fluffy golden flaxseed from Bob’s Mills. (*When increasing fiber in children or adults, always consume more water throughout the day. Never give children ground flaxseed or chia seeds by themselves. Seek the advice of your pediatrician when changing your children’s diet)
