3 High-Fibre Summer Recipes You’ll Love

Summer is here, and that means trips to the beach, bike rides, long hikes, backpacking, camping, and long days by the pool. 

Whether you’re looking to get back in shape, lose weight, or just feel better, it’s important to fuel your body with the nutrition it needs so you can enjoy your favorite summer activities to the fullest. A critical part of a healthy diet that supports a busy summer lifestyle is fibre. There are a lot of reasons you should eat more fibre; from losing belly fat to increasing your regularity, improving your gut health, and much more. Simply put, the more fibre you eat, the better you feel. And your body will be able to keep up with the busy summer ahead. 

Here are three high-fibre summer recipes we think you’ll love.
