Yeah, that's right. We're talking about snacks and easy recipes. We're talking about those snacks that keep your gut, well to put it nicely, moving - if you get what we're throwing down.
Fiber is essential to our wellbeing. We all love to hate on it, but they're really good for you. Having the right amount of fiber in your diet helps lower cholesterol, promotes healthier weights, prevents constipation, and diverticulosis. Not to mention that it keeps your blood sugar levels within a healthy range.
Women should shoot for 25 grams of fiber per day and men should shoot for 38 grams. Basically, 14 grams for every 1,000 calories.

Kale chips
Grams of fiber per cup: 3
We’ll be honest. These guys don’t taste like potato chips. But if you’re looking for a healthier way to crunch, kale chips are the way to go.
Rinse and dry a large bunch of kale, then remove the stems and tough center ribs. Rip the kale into large pieces, toss with a little olive oil, then sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
Arrange the kale in a single layer on a large parchment-lined baking sheet (careful not to overlap). Bake at 375°F (190°C) until crisp, which takes about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, checking frequently. They can burn easily.
Pumpkin yogurt dip
Grams of fiber per cup: 7
Eating pumpkin (rather than just carving it) is an easy and tasty way to enjoy fiber-rich food — when you use canned, that is.
Mix together a 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin purée, 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a good helping of cinnamon and nutmeg, or pumpkin spice if you’re feeling fancy.
Spoon it straight or use as a dip with whole grain crackers or apple slices. One cup has 7 grams of fiber.
Pro tip: Make sure to use plain puréed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which can be loaded with sugar and salt.
