5 high-fiber smoothie recipes to try
green smoothie
According to the Cleveland Clinic, most adults need between 25 and 30 grams of fiber per day. This refreshing, gut-healthy blend contains 13 grams per serving – half your daily recommended fiber intake! That’s all thanks to almond butter, chia seeds, and a big handful of leafy greens.
Blueberry smoothie
A secret plant ingredient adds extra fiber and antioxidants to this sweet and tangy berry smoothie: frozen cauliflower! You can’t taste it, but it makes this recipe super thick, icy, and creamy.
coffee shake
Add some fiber, protein, and potassium to your morning coffee by mixing this sweet cinnamon-spiced drink! Medjool dates, almond butter, and frozen bananas perfect its creamy texture and provide 6 grams of fiber per serving.
Avocado smoothie
Do you want to make the creamiest smoothie you’ve ever tasted? Throw some avocado in the blender! Blended with spinach, lime juice, frozen pineapple, and vanilla protein powder, it creates a smoothie that tastes like a tropical sorbet… that also has 10 grams of fiber per serving.
Zucchini smoothie
This shake is the closest I’ve come to sharing a chocolate shake on the blog. Medjool dates, almond butter, and cocoa powder give it a rich, sweet chocolate flavor. You’d never guess you’re getting 7 grams of fiber from drinking it!
Easy Ways to Add Fiber to Smoothies
Don’t worry if you don’t have the exact ingredients for one of these recipes on hand. You can make your own delicious, high-fiber smoothies using a variety of whole food ingredients. These are some of the ingredients I turn to when I want to add fiber to a smoothie:
- Chia seeds and flax seeds: When in doubt, simply add chia seeds or ground flaxseeds to any smoothie you’re making. One tablespoon of chia will add over 3 grams of fiber and flax will add about 2!
- Berries: Berries are some of the fruits with the highest fiber content. For example, 1 cup of raspberries provides 8 grams of fiber!
- Banana: Bananas make smoothies sweet and creamy. 1 medium also adds about 3 grams of fiber.
- Hidden vegetables: Fresh or frozen spinach, kale, zucchini, and cauliflower can be blended into fruit smoothies without affecting the flavor.
- Oatmeal: Yes, you can mix whole rolled oats or quick oats directly into a smoothie for soluble fiber! They also add a creamy texture. Try it in this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie!
