One of the biggest complaints you hear about healthy foods is that they go through you too fast. You consume a salad for lunch and the next thing you know, you’re hungry for more. While that can be true for some healthy dishes, incorporating foods high in fiber can make a difference. Fiber helps to regulate bowel movements, lower your cholesterol, control blood sugar levels, and sustain a healthy weight. Below are some pretty filling but healthy foods to add to your diet.

Hummus

If you’re looking for a quick snack that fills you up perhaps you should try hummus. Made of chickpeas (an excellent source of fiber), hummus tastes great and keeps you fuller longer. It’s great for dipping whole-grain pita chips, fruit, or fresh veggies. You can purchase hummus in stores or make your own from scratch.

Oatmeal

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and for some people, the only meal they have for hours. As such, you want to feel full as long as you can. A good old-fashioned bowl of oatmeal can do the trick. You can purchase instant oatmeal for an easy and quick breakfast or make your own with rolled oats. Then, add some fruit, cinnamon, or sugar for flavor.
