I want to show you how to get 32g of fiber in one super breakfast bowl because guess what? Fiber is critical for a healthy gut and for keeping the system moving right along.

I remember the days when I consumed very little to no fiber. Those were hard days, but when I was sick in rotten gut bacteria hell, the fiber made me even sicker. 

32g of Fiber in one Super Breakfast Bowl

These days I consume no less than 35g of fiber per day. I’d gather my breakfast staple has a lot to do with that huge (and awesome) number.

There is no reason to make this post (or recipe) complicated because it is anything but that. You can make this in less than 2 minutes if you eat it raw, and in about 5 minutes if you cook on the stove.

Here are the pieces to my oatmeal.

How to Make a Fiber-Packed Breakfast

Hemp Protein

Some of my favorite products in the world (ahem – Organic Virgin Coconut Oil) are from Nutiva, and the quality + taste is unparalleled. Now that we have that out of the way, I use 2-3 Tbsp of Organic Hemp Protein Hi Fiber or Organic Hemp Protein Vanilla (or Chocolate) in this daily bowl. Lately, I’ve been sticking with just the hi fiber one, but if you need more “flavor” then you’ll want to choose one of the flavored one.

• 3 Tbsp Hi Fiber = 12g fiber
• 3 Tbsp Vanilla = 5g fiber

Superseed Blend

This is a brand new product at Nutiva, the Superseed Blend. The blend consists of ground flax, chia and hempseed with coconut. It is great in smoothies, with cereals like my oatmeal bowl and it’s also amazing for baking (which, once the product has a larger distribution, I’ll create some baking recipes with it for y’all). I have been adding 1 Tbsp to my daily bowl.

• 1 Tbsp = 3g fiber

Chia Seeds

Ah, the beloved Chia Seeds. First off, have you made my Healthy Gut Chia Pudding Yet? Get to it, it’s super delicious! I love adding the Nutiva Organic Chia Seeds to so many things, and my daily super breakfast bowl is definitely one of them. I add in 1 Tbsp (if you forego the Superseed Blend, you could add in 2 tbsp.).

• 1 Tbsp = 5g fiber

Gelatin

I have long used Great Lakes Gelatin for all my needs. But then I met Vital Proteins at Shiftcon 2015 about a month ago, and I’ve been quite impressed. Loving their packaging, story, and employees. That said, I do not believe the taste and/or consistency is different, and so when it comes to choosing your Gelatin, do what works best for you. Regardless, I used Vital Proteins (<- read more about gelatin for gut healing by clicking that link) in this bowl, 1 Tbsp.

• 1 Tbsp = 0g fiber (but I use Gelatin for gut-healing, and healing in general, wonders)

Gluten Free Oats

Oats are not Paleo, and grains are one reason why I’m not Paleo (unless my autoimmune condition kicks in again). But removing entire food categories when you feel great simply makes no sense to me, especially when I do believe that things such as these gluten-free oats provide a ton of benefits. Perhaps the most important benefit to me was that I began to feel like a normal person again. For years I craved a daily bowl like this, and now that I can do it while thriving, I am loving it. I buy the Trader Joe’s Gluten Free and Wheat Free Rolled Oats. I use 1/4-1/2 cup in my daily bowl.

• 1/4 cup = 2g fiber
• 1/2 cup = 4g fiber

Coconut Flour

You might think it sounds odd to add coconut flour to your oatmeal bowl, but I love how it bulks it up even more while making me feel like I’m eating some sort of cake dessert. I use Nutiva Organic Coconut Flour, and typically 2 tbsp.

• 2 Tbsp = 8g fiber

L-Glutamine Pure Powder

No power breakfast bowl would be complete without the addition of L-Glutamine Pure Powder, which I discussed in more detail via L-Glutamine for Gut Healing. You need to add the amount that makes the most sense for you, but for me, I am up to 1 tbsp. per oatmeal bowl. Again, no fiber here, but this is a gut-healing and thriving supplement I use.

• 1 Tbsp = 0g fiber

Do the math, and you will see that for breakfast alone, in this one awesome bowl, you will have anywhere from 23g – 32g of fiber, which is incredible!

Xox,
