10 High-Fibre Swaps to Beat Ultra-Processed Cravings

Our roasted and salted black soya beans are the perfect snacking option. They’re full of protein, fibre and various vitamins and minerals, as well as bursting with flavour, making them an ideal choice for a movie night, on-the-go, or at parties. Add them into a mix with our green edamame beans or into a seed and nut trail mix.

Rye bread, particularly whole grain rye, contains a significant amount of both soluble and insoluble fibre, which can aid in digestion, blood sugar control, and overall gut health. We find it a lot more filling than traditional white bread. Enjoy toasted or as it is, topped with your favourite toppings.

Commercial cereals are often loaded with sugar and additives, meaning they spike sugar levels leading to energy slumps and crashes. Jumbo oats offer slow-release energy and keep your gut happy with soluble fibre (beta-glucans).

Looking for a naturally sweet treat that feels indulgent but is packed with wholesome ingredients? This date bark recipe is a brilliant alternative to traditional chocolate bars, combining soft Medjool dates, smooth nut butter, rich dark chocolate and a touch of sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Easy to make and endlessly customisable, it’s ideal for an afternoon pick-me-up or healthier dessert option.

Conventional cereal bars often contain hidden sugars and are low in fibre. We love making our own energy balls. You can customise the recipe to suit your needs, and pack it with all the good stuff. Our delicious Pistachio & Cherry Energy Balls are the perfect pick-me-up for busy days. Packed with natural goodness from dried cherries, dates and pistachios, they’re naturally sweet, satisfyingly chewy and full of flavour. Ideal as a healthy snack or post-workout boost, they’re easy to make and free from refined sugar. A wholesome treat you can feel good about.

Wholegrain buckwheat pasta is high in fibre because it’s made from the entire buckwheat grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. The bran, the tough outer layer of the grain, is particularly rich in fibre, and this is retained in the wholegrain pasta. Refined grains, like white pasta, have the bran removed, significantly reducing their fibre content. We love the nutty flavour that buckwheat pasta imparts to dishes!

Red Camargue rice is a nutritious wholegrain native to the Camargue region in southern France. Its distinctive red hue comes from anthocyanin – powerful antioxidants that support heart health and reduce inflammation. This rice is high in fibre, which promotes good digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and contributes to longer-lasting satiety. It’s also a good source of iron, magnesium and slow-releasing carbohydrates, making it ideal for sustained energy. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and full of nutty, earthy flavour that elevates any dish.

Cream crackers have minimal fibre. Rye crispbreads are dense in fibre and have a delicious nutty taste—perfect for topping with nut butters, hummus or avocado. They’re ideal for a savoury snack or paired with cheese or dips.
