15 High-Fiber Make-Ahead Breakfasts That Aren’t Chia Pudding
Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD
Chia seeds are known for their high fiber content, but they’re not the only option for a healthy, fiber-packed breakfast. These recipes skip the chia pudding and still have at least six grams of fiber per serving from ingredients like oats and fresh fruit. Plus, all these breakfasts can be made the night before (or even days in advance!) so your mornings can feel like a breeze. Try our Sheet-Pan Veggie & Egg Breakfast for a savory, protein-packed bite, or prep our Strawberry-Banana Baked Oats at the start of your week and save yourself some extra time in your routine.
