Getting more fibre into your diet does not need to be complicated. Simple store cupboard foods such as oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, dried fruit, nuts, pulses and wholegrain ingredients can all help you add more fibre to meals and snacks throughout the day.
At Grape Tree, you’ll find a wide range of high fibre foods that are easy to use in breakfast bowls, smoothies, baking, salads, lunches and homemade snacks. Popular choices include [linseed] and chia seeds for sprinkling over porridge, oats and oat bran for breakfast, dried apricots, figs and prunes for snacking, and nut and seed mixes for added crunch.
Keeping a selection of high fibre ingredients from Grape Tree in your kitchen makes it easier to build small, long‑term habits that support a balanced diet.
High fibre seeds, oats, nuts and dried fruit
Seeds are one of the easiest ways to increase fibre as part of a balanced diet. Chia seeds, brown and golden linseed, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds can be added to yoghurt, cereal, porridge, smoothies or baking to boost fibre without changing your meals too much.
Oats, oat bran and wholegrain ingredients are also useful everyday options, especially for breakfast or homemade recipes. Oats can be used for porridge, granola and baking, while oat bran works well stirred into cereal or sprinkled over yoghurt.
Dried fruit such as apricots, figs, dates and prunes contains fibre and natural sweetness. These can be enjoyed as a snack or added to cereals, trail mixes and baking. Because dried fruit is naturally sweet, it is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
Nuts and nut mixes can also play a helpful role, offering fibre alongside protein and healthy fats. Almonds, walnuts, peanuts and [mixed nuts] are versatile options for snacking or adding texture to salads, stir‑fries and other savoury dishes.
Easy ways to add more fibre
A good way to increase fibre is to build small habits into meals you already eat. Try adding seeds to breakfast, choosing oats instead of lower‑fibre cereals, adding dried fruit to baking, mixing nuts into snacks, or using pulses and wholegrains more often in savoury meals.
If you are increasing your fibre intake, it is best to do it gradually and drink plenty of fluids. This gives your body time to adjust while helping you make long‑term changes that are easier to maintain.
