You must try these delicious high fiber chocolate bites. Fiber has never tasted this good. Or should I say; that chocolate has not been this good-for-you.

Want the ultimate list of tasty, high-fiber snacks that are enjoyable to eat? The ones below are perfect for kids and adults of all ages.

Below you’ll find ways to get more fiber into your family’s daily meals with great-tasting recipes.

What is Fiber

Fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, and grains. You can think of it as an essential “ingredient” for better digestive, gut, and heart health.

There are two types: soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble dissolves in water and helps lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels, while insoluble doesn’t dissolve in water and helps you digest foods. Both are important and beneficial alike.

How Much Fiber Do You Need in a Day?

Adults are recommended an intake of 25-30 grams of fiber per day, while kids require a little less, depending on their age. Kids as young as 2-5 should get around 15 grams a day, while 5-10-year-olds should get about 20 grams per day. Ages 11+ should aim for over 25 grams of fiber per day, just like adults. These, of course, are guidelines (avg/min).

High Fiber Ingredients to Add to Snacks

To get started, let’s go over some fiber-rich foods and how many grams you can expect to obtain from one serving.

The following list includes a couple of items (chia, flax, and oats) that aren’t necessarily something you’d eat on their own but are easy to add to recipes like smoothies, oatmeal, and some baked goods.

Here are a few high-fiber ingredients to choose from:

  • Apples (1 fruit) – 4.5 grams 
  • Pears (1 fruit) – 5.5 grams 
  • Raspberries (½ cup) – 4 grams 
  • Strawberries (1 cup) – 3 grams
  • Carrot stick (1 cup) – 3.5 grams
  • Jicama slices (1 cup) – 6 grams 
  • Avocado (1 fruit) – 10 grams 
  • Edamame (½ cup shelled) – 4 grams 
  • Broccoli – (1 cup/3florets) – 2.5 grams
  • Dried prunes – 1 gram each
  • Dates – 3 grams each
  • Popcorn (3 cups popped) – 5 grams
  • Oatmeal (½ cup) – 4.5 grams
  • Almonds (¼ cup) – 5 grams
  • Chia seeds (1 tablespoon) – 3 grams 
  • Flaxseed (1 tablespoon) – 2 grams 
  • Dark chocolate (1 ounce) – 3 grams 
  • Coconut flour (1 tablespoon) – 7 grams
  • Whole wheat pita – 4 grams each
  • Whole wheat tortilla – 4.6 grams each
  • Hummus (2 tablespoons) – 2.2 gram 
  • Guacamole(1 tablespoon) – 1 gram

High Fiber Low-Calorie Snacks

Pairing fiber-rich ingredients like fruit and veggies with dips or whole grains is a great way to get a lot of fiber in one serving while enjoying each bite. These recipes and ideas are the best fit if you want a healthy snack that’s low in calories (200-300) and that also pack great inside a snack box!

*Dips are 2 tablespoons, and fruit or veggies are 1 cup unless otherwise specified.

  • KIND Bars
  • RX Bars
  • Hippeas
  • Medjool dates – pack 1 or 2 in small zip bags. 
  • Mary’s Gone Crackers Super Seed –  pack a portion in a small container.

Watch how it’s made:

Ingredients

Chocolate Protein Bites

  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup Sunsweet dried prunes
  • 3 tablespoons nut-free butter*
  • 1 tablespoon honey, optional
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop your favorite chocolate protein powder, 28g scoop
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your food processor, blend oats into a flour-like texture. Add prunes, nut-free butter, honey, cocoa powder, and protein powder, and process mixture until combined, making sure to stop once or twice to scrape the sides. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of water. Once the mixture has a sand-like consistency and it adheres to itself when pinching, it’s ready to roll it out.
  • Remove the blades from the food processor and fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Begin rolling out the dough by hand, about a tablespoon at a time and place bites into a container. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.

Notes

Most schools are nut free and require a nut-free alternative to be used for this recipe. If you are making these for home and can have peanut butter or almond butter, you can use that instead.
Nutritional information will vary depending on the protein powder you use.

      Yes, you can absolutely make these ahead of time, freeze them. I simply stick them in a lunchbox, frozen, they thaw out by lunch. Otherwise, about 10 min on the counter will do it!

          Yes, you can use dates or raisins but know that the soluble fiber content will be a bit different.

    Made for my 3 year old who is not only a very fussy eater but has terrible problems going for a number two poor girl! Found this recipe and felt relief to think I might be able to get some goodness down her! Hopefully she eats them! Covered them with colourful sprinkles, I know the sprinkles are not the healthiest but I’m more bothered about her having the prunes they contain and she’s all about what things look like!

      Depending on the protein powder you use for this recipe, it will yield different results. With mine: 80cal, 1.5g fat, 9g carbs, 2g fiber, 3.5g protein per bite.

    Hi Laura,
    Would this recipe work for cut up bars or the “dough” is too soft to set?
    Thanks!
