Fruits like raisins, berries, dates and pears have 20 to 40 percent of daily fiber values. How about an avocado??? One avocado has 11 grams of fiber, almost half the recommended minimum intake of fiber.
Vegetables add both fiber and vitamins to your diet. Eat green and orange vegetables such as spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, collard greens, carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato.
