Fibermaxxing with Costco Finds

As a dietitian following the Mediterranean diet, I’ve been really focused on increasing my fiber intake. You know, fiber is incredibly important for our health; it aids digestion and can help us feel full, which is—well, pretty great.

It’s surprising how many Americans fall short of their daily fiber needs. I mean, really, most of us could use a little boost. That’s where this whole “fibermaxxing” trend on TikTok comes in. The idea is to hit or even exceed the recommended daily fiber intake, which sounds like a smart goal.

While I work on upping my fiber game, I’m sticking to the Mediterranean diet. This approach emphasizes fresh produce and whole grains while minimizing processed foods. Costco has become one of my top places to stock up on fiber-rich essentials that fit seamlessly into my meals.

Here are some favorite finds from Costco that help me reach my fiber goals without sacrificing taste:

1. Frozen Riced Cauliflower

This low-carb alternative to rice is super versatile. I add it to everything from smoothies to grain bowls—honestly, you can hardly tell it’s there.

2. Good Foods Organic Avocado Mash

Perfect for sandwiches; it adds healthy fats and fiber with each serving. I can’t get enough of it instead of mayo!

3. SunGold Kiwis

I eat these with the skin on. They’re sweet, juicy, and packed with fiber. I love a kiwi on its own or sliced into yogurt.

4. Dried Plums

These are an excellent snack option. I often eat them straight from the bag, or stuff them with nut butter for a little extra protein.

5. Frozen Berry Blend

Costco’s frozen berries are a lifesaver; they last a long time and are perfect for morning smoothies or just snacking.

6. Actual Veggies Black-Bean Burgers

Plant-based and fiber-rich, they’re a go-to for busy weeknights. Just heat them up and you’ve got a meal!

7. Catalina Crunch Protein Cereal

This is not just a snack but a great breakfast option packed with fiber—9 grams per serving! It adds a delightful crunch to my yogurt.

8. Chia Seeds

These little seeds really pack a nutritional punch. I sprinkle them on almost everything for that extra fiber boost.

9. Organic Mushrooms

They add fiber and volume to dishes, especially when I’m making things like beef tacos; I just mix in some chopped mushrooms with the meat.

10. Kodiak Power Cakes Mix

For brunches, this mix delivers on both protein and fiber. I love topping my pancakes with chia seeds and berries for a real treat.

So, there you have it—my top picks from Costco for loading up on fiber while enjoying delicious meals. Little changes in what I buy make a big difference in reaching my health goals. Plus, it’s satisfying to know that I’m making choices that support my well-being.
