How to Take Fiber Supplements
To optimize your fiber stack, start with one well-researched fiber like psyllium, build the dose up over two weeks, take it before or with meals with a full glass of water, and keep it at least 2 hours away from your medications. Add a second fiber only if it does a different job.
Fiber foods for insulin sensitivity shown with a bowl of cooked barley beside black beans and two slightly green bananas
Highest Fiber Foods
The insulin sensitivity fiber foods with the best trial evidence are oats, barley, psyllium, beans and lentils, plus cooked and cooled starches rich in resistant starch. Mostly insoluble fiber has a weaker trial record, though cereal fiber looks protective in long term studies.
Gel forming soluble fiber shown with a glass bowl of thick clear psyllium gel beside a bowl of oats and a halved orange
Highest Fiber Foods
The top gel forming fiber foods are psyllium husk, oats and barley for their beta-glucan, and pectin rich fruit like citrus, apricots and berries, with beans and some vegetables close behind. Not every soluble fiber gels, though: inulin and wheat dextrin dissolve without thickening.

Superfoods with Fiber
Acai fiber content is genuinely high: dried acai pulp measured about 71 grams of fiber per 100 grams in a 2011 study, almost all of it insoluble. Fresh pulp is mostly water, so 100 grams of frozen pulp likely supplies a few grams, depending on how thick it is.
Almond milk latte fiber shown with a cup of latte with foam art beside a bowl of almonds and a dish of coffee beans
Nuts & Seeds with Fiber
Almond milk latte fiber usually comes to 0 to 1 gram a cup, because almond milk and espresso carry almost none. Bottled almond milk lattes reach 1 to 2 grams when the recipe adds pumpkin puree or gums like guar and locust bean gum.

Nuts & Seeds with Fiber
Almonds fiber content is about 3.5 grams per ounce with the skin on, but blanched almonds drop to about 2.8 grams. Here’s what that ounce delivers for your heart, your snacks and your baking, and where almonds beat or trail popcorn, chips and flour.
