6 High-Fiber Packaged Snacks to Help Manage GLP-1 Constipation

Take your pick of Floura Bars. Every one of the brand’s seven flavors supplies a “did-I-read-that-right?” 15 grams (g) of fiber. That’s more than 50 percent of the daily value in a single snack!

All that fiber comes from a proprietary SuperFiber mix featuring apple, fermented watermelon rind, cantaloupe, honeydew, mango, and pineapple. Agave inulin powder, white chia flour, roasted almonds, tapioca fiber, and other ingredients take these bars further into high-fiber territory.

Flavor options range from fruity to chocolatey to coffeeshop-inspired — much tastier than a chalky fiber supplement. Also, you can add them to your Misfits Market order, if you have a subscription.

My only caveat here? Many people aren’t used to loading up on that much fiber at a time. (By weight, these bars contain a whopping 30 percent fiber.) If you’re new to so-called fibermaxxing, take it slow. Start with one-third to one-half of a bar and increase gradually. Try it with something less fiber-heavy, such as yogurt or nut butter, and be sure to drink plenty of water. Fiber works best when you stay hydrated.

I sure love an ingredients list that’s only two words long, especially when those two words are “apple” and “pineapple.” The two dried fruits that make up That’s It’s Apple + Pineapple bars supply 5 g of fiber per 100-calorie snack.

This one’s a whole-food snack that packs easily for everything from workdays to road trips.

If you’ve ever been to the Netherlands, you may have enjoyed the nation’s signature snack/dessert. The stroopwafel is a waffle sandwich cookie held together with caramel filling. Now, you can have your stroop (aka syrup) and fiber, too.

Just note that chicory root fiber can cause gas or bloating in some people. As with other high-fiber snacks, it’s best to ease into this one slowly to see how you tolerate it. When you’re craving something sweet, try half a stroopwafel for starters.

Meanwhile, each 120-calorie bag of Biena offers a modest portion that’s often a better fit for the reduced appetite many people experience while taking GLP-1s. A simple ingredients list of chickpeas, sunflower or safflower oil, and salt makes this one feel nearly homemade.

Another line in the “plus” column: Though you can crunch these little nuggets straight out of the bag, they’re also a great topping for salads, soups, and grain bowls.

Many high-fiber snacks focus almost exclusively on fiber, but Aggropops Baked Lentil Puffs offer a more balanced mix of macronutrients.

Pretzels aren’t necessarily a high-fiber food since they’re generally made with refined flour. But pair the crispy twists with hummus, and you get a balanced, fiber-rich snack.

Little Sesame’s Hummus & Pretzel Snacker Dip is a portable midday nosh that provides 5 g of fiber in just 250 calories. For those with a reduced appetite, it can be a better fit than some hummus-and-pretzel snack packs that contain closer to 400 calories.
