    Beans!! 1 cup of dried beans to 4 cups of water, throw it all in the crockpot with chopped garlic and onions before going to bed. When you wake up the next morning all you have to do is salt to taste. I made pinto beans last week, and 1 cup has 15 grams of fiber--more than half of the daily recommendation. Beans are definitely my #1 choice for a healthy fiber fix! :)

    Just be careful with kidney beans. They are loaded with phytohemagglutinin which is only broken down after 10 minutes of cooking at 100 degrees C and a crockpot typically doesn't heat them up enough. I learned this the hard way. You can feel pretty sick for a few hours.
    Cooking them on high for at least 5 hours does the trick. I cook kidney beans weekly and have yet to experience any problems.:smile:

    Cereal and supplements. I don't take the whole supplement, I half the powder dosage and it seems to work just as fine.
