7 high-fibre breakfasts for busy mornings

If you barely have time to cook in the morning, prepare overnight oats before bed. Oats are naturally rich in fibre, while fruits like apples, bananas, and berries add even more.

A handful of chia or flax seeds can make the meal even more filling without adding much effort.

Most people think of oats first when discussing fibre, but dal-based breakfasts deserve more attention. Chillas made from moong dal or mixed lentils provide fibre, protein, and sustained energy.

They can also be prepared in advance and quickly reheated on busy mornings.

Poha becomes much more satisfying when loaded with vegetables like carrots, peas, onions, and capsicum. Adding roasted peanuts increases both fibre and crunch.

It's a familiar Indian breakfast that can be prepared in under 15 minutes.

A bowl of sprouts mixed with onions, tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, and coriander is quick, refreshing, and packed with fibre.

For extra flavour, sprinkle some chaat masala and enjoy it as a light but filling breakfast.

Traditional upma becomes more fibre-rich when prepared with multigrain rava and plenty of vegetables.

Carrots, beans, peas, and capsicum can transform a simple breakfast into a more nutritious and filling meal.

For people rushing to work or college, whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter and banana slices offers a convenient fibre-rich option.

It requires almost no preparation and keeps hunger away for longer than plain bread and butter.

Besan cheela loaded with grated vegetables is a practical breakfast for busy weekdays. The vegetables boost fibre content while making the meal more colourful and satisfying.

Pair it with mint chutney or curd for a complete breakfast.
