Dealing with digestive issues is no fun. And while more fiber isn't always the answer, most Americans don't eat enough. Thankfully, there are plenty of high-fiber foods that help promote healthy digestion—like whole grains, beans, fruits, veggies and plenty of water. Because fiber is critical for a healthy gut, you'll get plenty of it in these recipes that are not only filling but also delicious. 

From light salads to cozy soups and hearty grain bowls, these lunches have something for whatever you're in the mood for—each one with at least 6 grams of fiber per serving. Recipes like our Marry Me White Bean Soup and our Black Bean & Pepper Jack Quiche are perfect for days when you need a midday reset.
