Most of us know how important fiber is to the human body and how beneficial it is to get a large amount of fiber daily. Well, okay, not a large amount of fiber but it is important to eat fiber rich foods. We’ve already did all the work for you though and put together a little list of fiber rich foods that won’t cost you a fortune. This means that you can stay healthy, save money, and eat some pretty delicious foods that are actually good for you.

Now, let’s start!

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is packed with fiber and it’s pretty cheap to buy. We recommend trying plain rolled oats in water and if you can’t handle the taste, make it in milk. You can also add fresh fruit (and a sprinkle of sugar) to your oatmeal to spruce up the taste a bit. Regardless of how you eat your oatmeal, one thing is for certain, you’ll be getting plenty of fiber!

Pears

Yes, pears actually have a good bit of fiber in them which is very surprising for a fruit. They’re affordable, they taste great, and you can literally get by just having a pear a day. Yeah, this is definitely for those of you out there that don’t care much for oatmeal and would rather eat a delicious pear. Swing by your local grocery stores or fruit farm today!

Beans

Beans are a timeless classic and everyone knows that they are jam packed full of fiber. They might even have a little too much fiber but that’s besides the point. Buy them by the can for easy preparation or buy actual beans in a bag and fix them yourself. Either way, you will definitely get your daily fix of fiber and enjoy a great food at the same exact time.

Pumpkin

Yeah, we bet you didn’t expect to see this on the list in a million years. Most people don’t know that pumpkins have a ton of fiber and come in at around 13 grams of fiber per half cup. That’s a lot of fiber and about 8 grams more than the average person needs in a day. You’ll probably have to catch these in the Fall (unless they’re canned) but it’s worth it!

Anyways, these are just 4 Fiber Filled Cheap Foods that we think you should consider adding to your grocery list. There are still other great foods out there that aren’t too expensive and are high in fiber. Some of those foods are Almonds, Raisins, Wheat Bread, and Peanuts. Those are some pretty common foods, huh? Of course, so why not do them?

You know, try to get more fiber in your diet and don’t spend a ton of money while doing it. Your digestive system as well as your entire body will thank you. We 100% promise!
