Avoid All-Day Hunger With This Fiber-Rich Strawberry Vanilla Smoothie

When you think of breakfast, your mind likely conjures up the classic options (eggs, bacon, bagels, pancakes, etc.). The problem? If you enjoy one (or more) of these more traditional breakfast foods in the morning, you may find your stomach grumbling by midmorning thanks to the lack of a critical carb that helps you avoid hunger—fiber.

That's right, if you find yourself craving a snack shortly after your first meal of the day, there's a good chance your breakfast plate didn't have adequate fiber-rich foods. Dietary fiber has been shown to help reduce hunger and prolong satiety1 (aka feelings of fullness), explains a 2022 article from Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition. But most Americans aren't getting nearly enough.

If you're looking to start your day with a simple and filling meal that will stave off your hunger into the afternoon, this satiating breakfast is for you. (Bonus: It tastes like a strawberry milkshake!)

If you'd like to kick-start your day with a fiber-rich smoothie that tastes like a strawberry milkshake and helps keep you full all day long, adding this recipe to your morning routine is a no-brainer!
