25 High Fiber Recipes

This is my 10th year of food blogging and making high protein recipes. Over the years, I’ve definitely shifted from protein-maxxing at all costs to incorporating more fiber and nutrient varieties into recipes.

The following recipe collection should give you some ideas on how to do the same in your kitchen. Every recipe has at least 5g of fiber per serving but most are closer to the 7-10 grams per serving range.

I’ve done my best to include as many recipes without beans as possible, but I’m a Tex-Mex lover and beans are a staple there. Apologies in advance if it feels like a magical fruit overload.

Now, to the recipes!

1. Peanut Noodle Protein Bowls

Sticky honey garlic chicken crumbles and pan roasted broccoli florets join forces with creamy peanut butter noodles and a chopped peanut garnish.

It’s also worth mentioning, this recipe uses real-deal wheat pasta. No impastas, which a few recipes in this ground call for. So you can increase the fiber even further if that’s your bag.

Combining extra lean ground beef with butternut squash fries, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles creates bowls with lots of volume and fiber while keeping calories under control. A low fat burger sauce brings everything together.

Note: The 595-calorie bowl is massive (half the recipe) but can be split into smaller servings.

6. Ground Beef and Zucchini Street Corn Bowls

This is my spin on the viral sweet potato, ground beef, and esquites bowls. It swaps sweet potato for lower calorie roasted zucchini (and optional cauliflower rice base). It’s a much higher volume meal that’s super filling and macro balanced.

7. Street Corn Chicken Bowls

Once I tackled the zucchini version, I had to try a little upgrade to the original street corn bowls. Instead of diced sweet potatoes, this recipe makes roasted sweet potato rounds. You bake them on the bottom rack of your oven so the extra surface area gets super caramelized and jammy. So good!

Joining the sweet potatoes are air fried Tex-Mex chicken thighs and a low fat street corn salad.

The homemade cinnamon cashew granola is a banger recipe on its own. Combined with vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt, blueberries, and an almond butter drizzle, it’s a must-try breakfast for a high protein, fiber-rich diet.

9. White Bean Chicken Soup

Beans are the cheat code for a high fiber diet, but they can get a little boring. This recipe pairs white beans with ground chicken, salsa verde, and chopped corn tortillas to make a thick and creamy Tex-Mex chicken soup with big flavors.

10. High Fiber Turkey Chili with Hidden Veggies

11. Ground Chicken Taco Casserole

For the times you don’t want to pull out the blender or spend any time at all making something, the taco casserole comes into play. This version combines your choice of beans, fire roasted corn, diced tomatoes and green chiles, taco seasoning, ground chicken, and chopped tortillas. Super simple for a skillet bake with lots of fiber and protein.

12. Rotisserie Chicken Fajita Casserole

What if you took a ground chicken taco casserole and made it with pulled rotisserie chicken? That’s what I asked myself before creating this recipe. Okay, I’m halfway joking. This recipe combines rotisserie chicken with enchilada sauce, canned black beans, frozen fajita veggies, and chopped tortillas.

Same, but different. Still a surprisingly awesome meal to only have 6 ingredients. And look at the 8 grams of fiber per serving!

13. Ground Beef and Goodles

Goodles = high protein boxed mac and cheese that doesn’t suck. It’s like the blue box Kraft mac but with lots of fiber and protein. This recipe pairs it with lean ground beef for a Hamburger Helper-ish situation to scratch the nostalgia itch in the best way.

14. Japanese Bbq Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls

Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce is a staple ingredient in my kitchen. And this recipe is a great example of why that’s the case. Just pop chicken thighs in the sauce for a quick stint, then roast them alongside Japanese sweet potatoes for a killer 1-2 punch. If you’re not eating Japanese sweet potatoes regularly, that’s a big mistake!

15. High Protein Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Coleslaw mix is one of my cheat code ingredients for adding fiber to high protein meals. I like to throw some into stir fries or noodle bowls and all kinds of ways beyond making slaw. This recipe, however, just makes a slaw with it. Sorry for the tease!

It’s a buffalo ranch slaw that’s paired with pulled rotisserie chicken, crumbled cheese, and leafy greens for simple snack wraps.

17. Al Pastor Turkey Taco Bowls

Nobody has a trompo at home. That’s why I made baked chicken al pastor. Admittedly, that’s still more work than I’d like to commit to regularly. So the ground turkey al pastor was born.

You can make the sauce in bulk or even the finished turkey in bulk to make tacos al pastor at a moment’s notice. My taco bowls pair the turkey with black beans, corn, and a blend of jasmine and cauliflower rice. Lots of volume, fiber, and protein.

18. High Fiber Enchilada Casserole

All right, so what if you combined elements of the ground chicken taco casserole and the rotisserie chicken fajita casserole? Are you sensing a theme here? I (and my readers) love taco casserole.

I will say, this casserole swaps chopped tortillas for a layered approach that resembles lasagna. It’s much prettier to slice like a tamale pie when serving as opposed to the former slop bowls!

22. Garlic Butter Beef & Roasted Veggie Bowls

One of my favorite fall recipe that’s a little high in fat compared to my typical recipe, but there are lots of tweaks you can make to bring the numbers down. Sometimes I just like to ball out with the calorie intake if it’s worth it!

23. High Fiber White Chicken Chili

Everything is simmered before frozen fire roasted corn and light cream cheese are added at the end when ready to serve.

25. Homemade Trail Mix

I developed this recipe after putting together a guide for the best nuts and seeds for protein. After figuring out which ones had the highest ratio of protein to calories, I paired them with white chocolate and dried cranberries for a trail mix that’s packed with a lot more protein than the average. Like most trail mixes, however, it’s also a great source of fiber.
