Getting enough fiber<\/a> is one of those wellness habits that sounds simple in theory. (And, if you have things like gut health, heart health, and digestive regularity on your list of things to optimize, getting in your 25 to 38 grams daily<\/a> should definitely be a priority.) But in practice, there are only so many bowls of oatmeal, slices of whole-wheat toast, and servings of broccoli a person can realistically get excited about. Of course, there\u2019s nothing wrong with getting your fiber from the usual suspects. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds are all excellent sources. But building enough of them into each and every meal can sometimes feel like a lot\u2014especially when you\u2019re trying to reach your daily target consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n

Considering that most of us still aren\u2019t getting enough of the overachieving nutrient, it might be time to expand our idea of what a high-fiber food<\/a> can look like.<\/p>\n\n\n

Case in point: these chocolate peanut butter chickpea cookies, with the recipe courtesy of Amy Shapiro, MS, RD<\/a>, dietitian and founder of Real Nutrition in New York City<\/a>. Yes, your dessert can have fiber, too\u2014and TBH, we\u2019re much more motivated to hit our daily quota when chocolate is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n
