Bananas
Researchers say that good old bananas are a good source of pre-biotic fibre which to fuel digestion. A study in the journal Anaerobe found women who ate a banana twice daily as a pre-meal snack for 60 days experienced an increase in good bacteria levels and a 50 percent reduction in bloating.
Oats
Oats are full of fibre and also make for a quick, easy and warm breakfast. If you don’t fancy porridge, you could also blend oats into a fruit smoothie or protein shake. Oatie cookies might count too, depending on who you ask.
Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea is a refreshing way to improve your health. Not only does it contain many beneficial nutrients such as Vitamin B and potassium, but it has also been proven to aid digestion and serve as a mild appetite suppressant. Peppermint tea = perfect addition to your post-dissertation “I have to stop eating like this” diet.
Sweet Potato
You could get creative with sweet potato toast but…why bother? Who doesn’t love sweet potato fries? Filling and full of fibre, all you need to do it chop the potato into thin wedges, season and cook in the oven for around 25 minutes.
Greek Yoghurt
Admittedly, Greek yoghurt is kind of sour on its own, but you can always add a little honey, sweetener and/or fruits. Greek yoghurt is already pre-digested, which means the milk sugar is already broken down and you won’t get bloated.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits are really hydrating and encourage your body to get rid of excess water as a result. Oranges and grapefruits are a quick and easy snack option, and you could also infuse water with lemon. Bye food baby.
