This Cauliflower Soup Has A Delicious High-Fiber Twist
Eating fiber is essential for our digestion as it helps detoxify our system, supports colon health, and balances gut bacteria. Unfortunately, research suggests that only about 5% of the population is eating enough fiber1. While it's likely we're not getting enough fiber, it won't help to eat a bunch of fiber-filled foods all at once as this may lead to gas and bloating. To avoid these unwanted symptoms, you'll want to incorporate more fiber-filled foods slowly into your diet here and there and see how you tolerate it.
This cauliflower soup from 30-Minute Vegetarian by Ylva Bergqvist is just what you need to get started on your high-fiber journey. You'll top off this protein-packed cauliflower soup with curry-fried apples. Apples are one of the highest fiber fruits, clocking in at 4.4 grams of fiber for a medium-size apple, which gets you closer to the recommended daily fiber intake. You'll blend together high-protein lima beans and heart-healthy cauliflower to get a flavorful, healing bowl of goodness.
