Looking for fiber? Let us simplify your search.
That slice of brown bread looks like it’s made with whole wheat. And that bowl of cereal loaded with nuggets and little twigs? It’s got to be high in fiber, right? Not necessarily.
Some breads and pastas are brown because of the addition of molasses or food coloring. And some white breads are made with whole grains from a special kind of albino flour, so they don’t look (or taste) high in fiber, but they are. Some cereals with the word “wheat” in the name offer as little as 0.6 gram of fiber per serving, while another box on the same shelf packs five times as much. Here’s how to know you’re making smart fiber choices.
You can start adding some fiber to the things you love. It’s easy and convenient with SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener with Fiber. You’ll enjoy the same sweet taste and it contains one gram of soluble fiber per packet.
SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener with Fiber, Packets are great for sweetening beverages and sprinkling on cereal, fresh fruit, and more. Each packet sweetens just like two teaspoons of sugar.
Watch the fiber add up! One gram of fiber per packet adds up quickly -- imagine two packets in your favorite morning coffee and one sprinkled on your whole grain cereal – that’s three more grams of fiber just at breakfast!
