The good news is that a low-fat, fiber-rich diet can help improve digestive function and naturally ease those side effects! We put together some of our favorite GLP-1-friendly recipes, low in fat and rich in the two main types of fiber: soluble fiber, which helps with blood sugar control and stimulates the body’s natural production of GLP-1, and insoluble fiber, which aids in digestion and keeps food moving along so that it doesn’t linger and cause digestive distress.

Note: We’ve highlighted the amount of fiber in some of these recipes to showcase just how nutrient-dense they are. You can also find the nutritional information on the corresponding recipe page. But try not to get too caught up in the numbers: When you eat a whole-food, plant-based diet, you will naturally consume plenty of fiber.

The good news is that when you eat a diet rich in whole, plant-based foods, it’s easy to get the fiber you need. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends women aim for at least 25 grams of fiber per day, while men should target about 38 grams, or 14 grams for every 1,000 calories.

Here are some of our favorite vegan high-fiber recipes, from satisfying soups and stews to quick pastas, delish breakfasts, tasty tacos, and even a few high-fiber desserts. Note: All of the mains have at least 13 grams of fiber (often much more) and the breakfasts and desserts have at least 8 grams per serving. Use this collection as a starting point; we have over 1,000 recipes on this site, and most are loaded with fiber! If you’re new to eating a fiber-rich diet, start out slow.

Tips

Washing leeks: Dirt gets caught between the fibrous leaves and is often hidden from sight. Be sure to peel back the leaves and rinse well. Check out our guide to leeks for more on how to wash, store, prep, and cook these large, cylindrical alliums.

Green tops: While most recipes call for the white part of leeks, feel free to use the green tops (cut thinly) in soups and stews.
