How to Increase Fiber in Smoothies

1 / 7

Although fruit smoothies are already a great source of fiber, toss these five ingredients into your blender to get even more.

I would have never thought of adding cannellini beans to my smoothie! Thanks for sharing :)

I love avocado and almond butter in smoothies but hadn't even thought about flaxseeds. Great idea.
