High fiber snacks are a great way to help you get your recommended 25-35 grams of fiber each day. Most high fiber snacks are also low in fat and calories, making them an excellent choice if you are trying to shed some pounds. Below are some examples of high fiber snacks.

• High Fiber Cereal Snack - Snacking on high fiber cereals

To make a high fiber cereal snack first pick out your favorite high fiber cereal. In order to qualify as a high fiber cereal try to choose a cereal that has at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. My favorite is Fiber One Honey Oat Clusters because it tastes pretty good and provides me with a whopping 13 grams of fiber per serving! Take your cereal and add dried bananas (yes, bananas have fiber too)/ other dried fruits that you like. I just take the Fiber One Honey Oat Clusters and add dried bananas and raisins. I take it to work with me and snack on it throughout the day.

• Snack on a Pear - A pear is an excellent source of fiber

A medium sized pear has approximately 5 grams of fiber. A medium sized apple has approximately 3 grams of dietary fiber.

• Fiber One Snack Bars or Kashi Go Lean Bars
