By How a fiber-rich smoothie can help you feel full all day.
That’s right, if you find yourself craving a snack shortly after your first meal of the day, there’s a good chance your breakfast plate didn’t have adequate fiber-rich foods. Dietary fiber has been shown to help reduce hunger and prolong satiety1 (aka feelings of fullness), explains a 2022 article from Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition. But most Americans aren’t getting nearly enough.
Smoothies, on the other hand, are an intrinsically fiber-rich breakfast option due to their many plant ingredients. But with a whopping 25 grams of fiber in each serving (thanks to high-fiber ingredients like mindbodygreen’s organic fiber potency+, chia seeds, and avocado), this strawberry and vanilla smoothie really takes things to the next level.
For reference, 25 grams covers the recommended minimum amount of fiber women need each day! Though it doesn’t cover the recommended intake for men, it does get them 66% of the way to their daily intake goal. For a single meal, this is incredibly impressive.
If you’re looking to start your day with a simple and filling meal that will stave off your hunger into the afternoon, this satiating breakfast is for you. (Bonus: It tastes like a strawberry milkshake!)
