Homemade Hummus

Chickpeas deliver both protein and fiber, and making your own can really help you cut down on unnecessary additives and extra sodium. Our easy recipe can also be customized in any which way based on your cravings. (via Brit + Co)

Whole Grain Avocado Toast

Whole grain bread is the ultimate high-fiber upgrade for any avocado toast concoction. We love adding extra veggies, feta, cheese, and hot honey to ours, but you do you. (via Brit + Co)

Crispy & Chewy Air Fryer Edamame

The First Mess

Crispy & Chewy Air Fryer Edamame

Edamame is another great savory snack for getting both your fiber and protein in. When made in the air fryer, the beans turn so deliciously crispy on the outside, making for an addictive offering every time. (via The First Mess)

Lentil Patties

Lentil Patties

Lentils are great for a high-fiber diet, but eating them in curries or soups can get boring over time. For a smaller, more snackable portion, try making these patties to eat with a dip on the side. The best part about this particular recipe is you can prep multiple patties to use across veggie burgers and wraps, too! (via Two Spoons)

Sweet High-Fiber Snacks

Mini Apple Pie Tacos

Mini Apple Pie Tacos

Apples are notoriously high in fiber, especially if you eat them with the skin on. This mini taco recipe makes eating an apple day way more entertaining, plus each bite is laced with the added sweetness and anti-inflammatory benefits of cinnamon. You could even sub pears for apples with this recipe since they're equally great for fiber. (via Brit + Co)

Healthy Chickpea Pizookie

Strawberry Chia Oatmeal Cookies

Oats and chia seeds are a power duo when it comes to high-fiber snacks. These "cookies" combine the two for a sweet pick-me-up that won't totally spike your sugar. (via Brit + Co)

Almond butter is a nice fibrous addition to sweet snacks like these protein balls, adding flavor and nutritional benefit. (via The Real Food Dietitians)

Date Bars

Date Bars

Dates, loved for their natural sweetness, are also high in fiber, so they're a no-rbainer when it comes to sweet homemade snacks like these date bars. We love this recipe a lot because you can prep a whole tray to snack on all week long. (via Kathryn's Kitchen)
