Nutritional Overview

I created these high fiber breakfasts with a couple of things in mind. I wanted them to be diabetic friendly, include 3+ food groups, include 6g+ fiber, and include traditional ideas as well as non-traditional ideas. Ultimately, food is food and there are no “rules” about what foods are breakfast foods.

Adjust Per Your Preferences

Please note, these foods are based on my taste and texture preferences. The portion sizes are based on my body’s varying needs. I also typically make a chai latte in the mornings (not pictured). If you’re interested in trying to duplicate these meals but don’t like peppers, don’t include peppers. If you need more or less food, make yourself more or less food. Your body should be steering your ship.

Why Fiber Matters

While there are many nutrients I could highlight, I’m choosing to focus on fiber for these meals because many Americans do not get enough fiber in their diets and breakfast is notorious for being a low fiber meal. Measurements (1 cup, ¼ cup, etc) are approximate since I don’t measure my food.

Since doing this, I’ve realized I eat a lot of eggs and avocado. Out of 8 meals, 4 have egg and 4 have avocado. I’ll have to do another post on breakfast foods without them!

One last note: I’m not a food photographer. The pictures, while portraying a very real looking meal, I realize are not fit for any nutrition-related photo expo. 😁

8 High Fiber Breakfasts To Try

Without further ado, here are some ideas that I like that are also higher in fiber.
