Why do high fiber foods matter on Keto?
Because high fiber foods just matter, period.
While switching from a regular diet to a Keto diet will cause you to just about eliminate what we have been traditionally taught to be high fiber…. like what’s found in whole wheat breads, pasta’s, and cereals – the truth is high fiber foods are easier to digest when they come in the form of vegetables, seeds, and nuts.
High Fiber Foods to Keep us Keto, Clean and Full!
High fiber foods are what keep our “pipes” clean. From our arteries to our digestive system, high fiber foods help regulate our blood sugar, cholesterol, and will make us more ‘regular’ if you know what I mean!
High fiber foods keep us full longer, which is important when we want to curb cravings and prevent falling off the Keto bandwagon and out of ketosis. With all of this goodness, what are the best high fiber Keto foods?
- Chia seeds. They may be small in size, but these tiny seeds are full of nutrients. Other than a ton of protein, these seeds are full of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Sprinkle them on salads, in smoothies, or make some homemade chia pudding. *recipe is on my Tiktok*
- Avocado. Yes, they are not only delicious and full of monounsaturated fats, but they’re full of fiber! The great news is, we already know a ton of different ways to add avocado to our diets! If you are not a fan, avocado oil is virtually tasteless and it’s Keto!
- Almonds. These are the world’s most popular nuts, and I think we all know why. But other than being versatile and delicious, almonds are high in protein, vitamin E, magnesium and manganese! Almonds are great in salads, sprinkled on Keto pancakes and just on their own.
- Raspberries. Raspberries are okay on Keto, but remember to measure them! Otherwise, enjoy these sweet treats because they’re packed full of fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C. Raspberries are great in chia pudding as well!
- Cauliflower. I mean, if cauliflower can become pizza or rice we can give it credit for being high in fiber too. Cauliflower is super versatile, easy to spruce up with spices, and it’s full of fiber, choline and vitamins!
I can’t tell you enough how important this information was for me when I began my Keto journey years ago. I literally lived on Dr. Pepper and Oreo’s, this is not an exaggeration. I had very little knowledge of healthy foods and why my body was so sick, so I am so excited to share this information with you, so you can have the best chance of living a healthier, happier life!
If you are here, you already know you can find more information and recipe’s on Facebook, Instagram and now, Tiktok (I’m new there, don’t judge me!).
Either way, I’m happy you’re here! Make sure to leave a comment if you want to share information about fiber rich foods in our awesome Keto community!

Love all your information, recipes .
It’s amazing how when you avoid fibre but all the foods you’ve listed are great in fibre.
Thanks for the siggesrions
Thanks!! Helps a lot. I have been taking anxiety meds that is not very reliable, if you know what I mean. I am sure to get fiber in with these tasty foods.
I definitely need to add more fiber into my husband’s diet. Thanks for the great list😄
Great and important information, Amy. Thank you for caring.
I am happy to say that I do eat almost all of those, except the raspberries.
Excellent options!

Thank you. I have been in need of some more fiber for sure.
Amy,
I have such a hard time with cauliflower. I can use it to make fried rice. That is it. Lol.
Thank you!
Thank you for this. I do like raspberries and definitely cauliflower. Nuts and seeds are a bit disastrous for me.
Avocado is good slathered on a turkey sandwich.
Doing my best to Keto on.
I just took a quiz..Is this your program..Holistic wellness?

Can I fast on this and put breakfast and lunch together? With amount of protein and veggies..I really don’t want to do recipes?Do you do a work up by weight or is everyone’s program the same?please send me something in regards to your whole program..Thank you,Teresa Stokes
I would suggest downloading my free Keto guide on this site (bottom of the page here) it will give you some examples and a meal plan example.
Does it have to to be almonds? I can’t eat them due to kidney stones same with raspberries can’t do them..Are blueberries or strawberries allowed?
allowed yes, I have just included the top for fiber

Chia pudding is SO good!!! Thanks for these helpful tips!
Thank you very much for all this information. You are a very special person. Chia pudding coming up. ❤️❤️
Thanks for the information, we all tend to forget these things once in a while.
Thank you!!! Knowledge is the key to winning in our health.
I love chia and avocados, I just have to eat more of everything..all is good!
Thanks so much for this information. I really appreciate it!
Thanks Amy, good to be reminded, I do need more fiber foods!
You were reading my mind. I needed confirmation of good sources of fiber. I struggle with Keto or any diet changing plan now after having COVID. Loosing weight is tougher than it’s ever been. I think the virus changed my body chemistry for the worse but I will keep trying to find what works for me.
Thank you for the information. I lived and breathed keto for several months and lost over 40 lbs. Unfortunately I fell off the keto wagon due to boredom….yes, I got sick of eating the same foods over and over again, so went back to WW! Luckily I maintained my keto loss but didn’t lose another ounce! Keto works and I’m jumping back on so I can get back to my new normal!!!
Love all of those
Still having trouble eating avocado, but use all the rest. Very good information.
Thank you Amy for the tips. Like others, I tend to forget the simple fibers like these.
Thanks for all the information.
I struggle with having enough fiber. Minerals and staying away from sugar. These blogs are very helpful.
Thank you Amy. Your blog is about the only one that I can seem to make sense of it all the time. Others get a little convoluted somewhere in the middle of their blogs. Please keep up the good work and the great information
My husband and I love all the things you mentioned but with his diverticulitis he has to be careful with nuts and seeds. He’s had been having some issues with constipation. Trying to find other sources of fiber that he can have. . He’s at his goal weight since starting keto so think for him we may need to add some apples or oatmeal slowly back into his diet. Just trying to figure something out.
I have tried the Chia pudding and it is great!!
Need to find that recipe for chia pudding, sounds yummy. Thanks for the fibre reminder Amy… I’ve been slipping on my intake of avocado and almonds… that explains some things 😉
Thanks for the great fiber information very helpful!
Thank you Amy, love your blog!!
