38 Best Store-Bought High-Fiber Snacks
Experts consistently emphasize the importance of eating enough fiber when it comes to our longevity and overall health. Yet, the harsh truth remains: a significant majority of us fall short of the recommended daily fiber intake. According to Samantha MacLeod, MS, RDN, "More than 90% of women and 97% of men do not meet recommended intakes for dietary fiber.
"The standard recommendation, based on the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, is 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories," says McLeod. For instance, women aged 19-30, consuming 2,000 calories daily, should ideally aim for 28 grams of fiber, while men in the same age group with a 2,400-calorie intake should target 34 grams.
Fiber intake is so crucial because studies show that meeting these daily fiber goals can support a healthy gut microbiome, reduce the risk of heart disease, and help regulate weight and blood glucose levels. The key is incorporating fiber into every meal—and snacks!—to ensure a steady flow of fiber throughout the day.
However, the unfortunate reality is that many readily available packaged snacks lack the fiber content we need. So, how can you add fiber to your diet without compromising on taste or convenience? We spoke to registered dietitians to discover the healthiest store-bought, high-fiber snacks that not only help you meet your daily requirements but also satisfy your taste buds.
How to choose healthy high-fiber snacks at the grocery store:
First things first—we have to define what a "high-fiber snack" is. For our list, a snack is considered "high fiber" if it contains at least 3 grams of fiber. "If a snack is 150-200 calories, then 2-3 grams of fiber would be the typical recommendation for a snack. Anything above that would be considered 'high fiber,'" says McLeod.
While we've done the legwork for you to come up with this list, if you're shopping for your own high-fiber snacks, registered dietitian Lauren Manaker, RD has some tips, starting with the nutrition panel on the product packaging.
Here's what she looks for on a nutrition label:
- "First, look for the 'Dietary Fiber' content; a good high-fiber snack should have at least 3 grams per serving.
- Second, assess the 'Total Carbohydrate' content. While fiber is a type of carbohydrate, it doesn't impact blood sugar the same way other carbs do, so it's beneficial to choose snacks with a higher ratio of fiber to total carbs.
- Finally, keep an eye on the 'Ingredients' list. The best high-fiber snacks have whole foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes listed as the first ingredients, not sugars or processed grains."
