Fibermaxxing is trending, and breakfast is a meal you can work in great sources of fiber. Many breakfast foods, such as oatmeal, berries and chia seeds, are naturally fiber-rich. To build a balanced meal, it’s key to have these coveted ingredients on hand, and luckily, there are some seriously genius ways to do this. Plus, breakfast recipes are a specialty of ours, and we found some great ways to store ingredients, so they stay fresh for as long as possible.
Below are six great food storage containers to store our favorite high- to medium-fiber containing ingredients and recipes, including oats (2 grams of fiber per serving), beans (think breakfast burritos and tacos; 5.2 to 6.3 grams of fiber per serving), berries (1.7 to 4 grams per serving) and whole wheat bread (2 grams per serving). After scoring one of these, all you need to do is print out one of our high-fiber recipes, prep and enjoy!

Netany Glass Overnight Oats Containers with Lids
Amazon
$25
These glass containers are excellent for exactly what they say they are: overnight oats. Each 16-ounce container comes with a tight-sealing lid so you can store them in your refrigerator or work bag without worrying. With six in the set, there’s plenty to go around for the week. For meal inspiration, check out some of our best high-fiber overnight oat recipes—I’m eyeing the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Overnight Oats and the Cannoli-Inspired Overnight Oats.
Ball Wide Mouth Glass Mason Jars with Lids, 32-Ounce
Amazon
Mason jars are fantastic storage vessels for grains, like oats, in addition to dried or cooked beans. Beans high in fiber include black beans, kidney beans, lima beans, pinto beans, navy beans and white beans—all of which can easily fit into a breakfast burrito, omelet or taco. We also love these types of jars for storing homemade muesli, a mix of seeds, dried fruits and grains. Try our Scandinavian Muesli or our Apple-Cinnamon Muesli for high-fiber ideas.
Pyrex Colors Sculpted Glass Food Storage Bowls with Lids
Amazon
My favorite way to store grain- and meal-prep is in these Pyrex glass bowls. There’s plenty of size variety, so I can use it for big batches or overnight oats or chia seed pudding—chia seeds have 4 grams of fiber per tablespoon. I can measure, mix and store right in the same vessel for easy cleanup. Plus, they’re dishwasher-safe!
Bee’s Wrap Beeswax Wraps for Bread
Amazon
Whole wheat bread is a great option, and I am particularly fond of artisan loaves from bakeries that highlight locally milled flours or integrate plenty of seeds. A great way to store odd ends of already-cut loaves is with these Bee’s Wrap bread wraps. Made with a waxy coating, they seal with the warmth of your hands, and you can reuse them over and over again.
OXO Good Grips Berry Keepers
Amazon
The berries with the highest level of fiber are raspberries, with 4 grams per half-cup, which works out well for me because they’re my favorite. I’ve been using these containers to keep them fresh, since they have a habit of spoiling, and they work wonderfully. The containers are designed to ensure proper air circulation and keep the berries up and away from moisture. Because of that, they essentially double the life of this temperamental fruit, making it easy to top breakfasts with them.
W&P Porter Glass and Silicone Bowl
Amazon
W&P makes durable glass containers with silicone covers that I find make them more durable for taking on the go. This silicone bowl is excellent for bringing a high-fiber breakfast to work or to school—use it to pack up warm oats, cool overnight oats, chia seed pudding, scrambled or hard-boiled eggs with toast on the side and more.
