If you’re new here, these three are the place to start — the foundations everything else builds on.
Pancakes with added fiber shown as a stack of whole grain pancakes topped with blueberries and a bowl of batter
A good high fiber pancake mix gives 5 to 7 grams of fiber per serving, about three times a standard buttermilk mix. Whole grain flours, bran and nut or coconut flours make the difference, while extra protein alone does not.
High fiber bagel shown with a seeded whole grain bagel sliced open and spread with cream cheese beside a plain bagel
High fiber bagels can be a healthy pick: a 100% whole wheat bagel from Thomas’ gives 7 grams of fiber, about five times a plain bagel of the same size. The catch is size, since most bagels carry 250 calories or more.
High fiber granola shown with a glass jar of crunchy oat granola with nuts, a small bowl of granola and a spoon
The high fiber granola leaders give 4 to 6 grams per small serving, led by keto and prebiotic blends that use added fibers like inulin. Most oat granolas land at 2 to 5 grams, and many carry more added sugar than fiber.
High fiber crackers shown with a plate of round seeded crispbreads and crackers beside bowls of hummus and dip
The high fiber crackers at the top are bran crispbreads and flax crackers: GG Scandinavian packs 4 grams into one 8 gram cracker, and Flackers gives 9 grams per serving. Triscuit and Wheat Thins land near 3 grams, while Ritz has none.
High fiber wraps and flatbreads shown with a stack of whole grain flatbreads and a rolled wrap packed with salad
The high fiber wraps with the most fiber per bite are thin, fiber-added lavash and low carb wraps, at 4 to 9 grams for 60 to 80 calories. Whole wheat pita lands near 4 grams, while naan, white pita and most spinach wraps give 1 to 2.
High fiber tortillas shown with a stack of whole wheat tortillas and a folded wrap filled with black beans and greens
The high fiber tortillas with the biggest numbers are low carb wraps like Mission Carb Balance, with 9 to 15 grams per serving. Whole wheat tortillas give 4 to 5 grams, and a standard flour tortilla gives about 1. Here’s how 9 popular options compare.
Protein bars with added fiber shown as a stack of chewy oat and nut bars on a cream colored plate on a light table
The protein bars with fiber that lead on paper carry 15 to 17 grams per bar, mostly from added fibers like soluble corn fiber and chicory root. Nut and date bars land closer to 4 or 5 grams. Here are 9 popular bars compared on fiber, protein and sugar.
High fiber breakfast cereal shown with a bowl of crunchy bran cereal topped with blueberries and dry cereal scattered
The best high fiber cereals pack 10 to 18 grams per serving, led by Fiber One Original and All-Bran Buds. We ranked 10 popular boxes by fiber, sugar and calories using label data filed with USDA, so you can pick one that fits your breakfast.
Turmeric fiber shown with fresh turmeric roots, one cut open to show the orange center, and a bowl of ground turmeric
Turmeric fiber looks impressive on paper: ground turmeric is about 23% fiber by weight, or 22.7 grams per 100 grams in USDA data. A teaspoon weighs only 3 grams, though, so it adds about 0.7 grams of fiber to a dish.
Medicinal mushroom fiber shown with an assortment of whole mushrooms and ruffled dried mushroom pieces on a table
Medicinal mushrooms fiber is mostly the insoluble kind, built from chitin and beta glucans, and it lives in the mushroom itself rather than in extracts. Fresh shiitake, maitake and lion’s mane give about 3 to 4.4 grams per 100 grams.
Lion's mane fiber shown with two whole white shaggy lion's mane mushrooms and a plate of golden seared mushroom steaks
Lion’s mane fiber is real but modest: fresh lion’s mane mushroom has about 4.4 grams per 100 grams in USDA data, close to shiitake and more than twice white button mushrooms. A scoop of supplement powder or extract gives far less, so how you eat it matters.
Wheatgrass fiber shown with a tray of fresh green wheatgrass, a glass of wheatgrass juice and a dish of green powder
Wheatgrass fiber depends almost entirely on the form you buy: a whole leaf powder can give about 4 grams per tablespoon, while the juice leaves the fibrous leaf behind. Here’s how wheatgrass powder fiber stacks up against cooked greens, seeds and berries.
