We’ve all had a case of the mid-morning munchies. You grab a quick breakfast as you rush out the door, and before lunch you’re fighting a roaring hunger that brings on a wave of self-doubt. “Did I miss breakfast this morning? Why the heck am I so hungry?”

I don’t know you or your eating habits, but I’m willing to bet your meal was missing one critical carb that helps stave off hunger throughout the day—fiber.

How a fiber-rich breakfast helps keep you full for longer.

According to a 2022 article from Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, dietary fiber helps reduce hunger, regulate appetite, and prolong satiety 1 (i.e., feelings of fullness).* If you find yourself battling intense hunger between meals, it may be time to add more fiber-rich foods to your plate.

Thanks to their plant-centric nature, smoothies are an innately fiber-rich breakfast choice. However, this wild blueberry oat smoothie takes its fiber content to the next level, thanks to a few key ingredients.

Wild blueberries 2, bananas 3, and oats 4 are naturally high in soluble fiber, but the true fiber superstar in this recipe is mindbodygreen’s organic fiber potency+, which includes both soluble and insoluble fiber and adds a whopping six grams of total dietary fiber to this delicious breakfast.

All together, this smoothie delivers 18 grams of dietary fiber! Depending on age and life stage, that’s 62-85% of the daily recommended fiber intake for women and 47-60% for men before noon (not too shabby!).

The added antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and healthy carbs in this well-rounded breakfast make it the perfect start to your day.
