Dr Joseph Salhab Shares 25g Avocado-Bean Toast to Boost Daily Fibre Intake

Summary
A single serving of Dr Joseph Salhab’s avocado-and-bean toast delivers nearly 25 grams of fibre, positioning it as a simple meal for people trying to raise daily intake.
The recipe combines 1 large avocado, 1/2 cup cannellini beans and 1 slice of sourdough toast, with the avocado providing about 14 grams of fibre and the beans about 9 grams.
Salhab, a Florida-based gastroenterologist, said fibre supports gut health, bowel regularity, microbiome diversity, fullness, blood sugar control and cholesterol reduction.
He added that avocados contribute healthy fats and satiety, while cannellini beans supply plant protein, prebiotics and resistant starch that help nourish beneficial gut bacteria.
The report frames the recipe within the social-media trend of "fibremaxxing," as many people still fall short of recommended fibre intake despite its broader digestive and heart-health benefits.
