So, why do we need fibre in our daily diet? As well as being strongly associated with a lower risk of numerous diseases, including heart disease, stroke and type-2 diabetes, fibre plays a major role in digestive health. Not only does fibre support regular bowel movements but certain types of fibre, such a prebiotics found in foods including oats, bananas and apples, also feed the beneficial bacteria found in the gut. See our list of high fibre foods for more information.

Below is a list of our best high-fibre breakfast recipes, so you can start your day with a nourishing hit of the good stuff.
