High fiber lunches to keep you satisfied

Hello,

Eating meals rich in fiber offers benefits that go beyond simply keeping you full between meals. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels, promotes healthy digestion, and lowers the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. However, many processed and fast-food options are low in fiber, making it difficult to meet your daily needs. To boost your fiber intake, starting with a high-fiber lunch is a practical and effective step.

I’ve recently contributed to THIS PIECE in Eat This, Not That! and shared a few favorite high-fiber lunches. Here’s one I enjoy–Black Bean Burrito Bowl with Farro.

As I tell  Eat This, Not That!  “For an easy lunch that will give you around 14 grams of fiber, Lisa Young, PhD, RDN suggests a farro-based bowl with black beans. Farro is a whole grain with a slightly nutty flavor that provides natural fiber, and black beans provide both fiber and protein for extra staying power. The peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and balsamic vinaigrette also give this bowl plenty of flavor.”

Here are the Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup cooked farro
• 1/2 cup black beans
• 1/2 chopped bell peppers
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Have a healthy week!

Warmly,
