Our Top High-Fiber Drinks for Refreshing Satisfaction

Increasingly, gut health is the secret to whole health.

Balancing your gut microbiome improves the gut-brain connection and helps manage inflammation, brain fog, digestion and your weight. And to strengthen this relationship, fiber delivers this essential fuel right to your gut.

Yet, if you're following a low-calorie or bariatric diet, it’s not always possible to consume fiber from enriched foods, beans, nuts and vegetables alone. Diet Direct developed multiple fiber-infused drinks to aid your efforts and help you get closer to your weight loss goals.

The Relationship Between Fiber and Weight Loss

To start, not all types of fiber are created equal for digestive health and weight loss.

Of the two types of fiber available, soluble easily dissolves in water and helps the body better manage glucose and cholesterol. Insoluble fiber acts as a bulking material that helps waste move through your digestive tract. Between these two:

• Soluble fiber undergoes fewer changes when passing through your digestive system and provides more meaningful food for the bacteria living in your gut. Due to this distinction, soluble fiber is increasingly called a “prebiotic.”
• Insoluble fiber — which may also function as a prebiotic — slows digestion and increases your feeling of fullness.
• Generally, thicker, more viscous fibers that thicken when exposed to water slow how quickly your stomach empties and help control your appetite.

Further diving into this relationship:

• Adults are recommended to get in 30g of fiber per day to manage their weight, control their blood pressure and improve their insulin response. As an added benefit, hitting this number tends to help you feel more satisfied and consume fewer calories throughout the day.
• Diets higher in fiber also help prevent or manage type 2 diabetes and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
• Due to the relationship between the gut and the rest of your body, consuming sufficient fiber helps improve your metabolism and your body’s ability to eliminate toxins and also helps to fight inflammation.
• Beyond pounds lost, research has shown that, in addition to lowering blood pressure and insulin response, high-fiber diets help patients maintain their weight loss long term and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Our Recommended High-Fiber Drinks

What makes a good drink with fiber? To begin, we recognize that certain drink habits — for example, that daily caramel swirl latte — can set you farther and farther back from your weight loss goals. That's why we've created easy-to-mix, fiber-enriched drinks that give your gut—and your body— exactly what it needs, without the extras it doesn't, like added fat or sugar.

Yet, there’s one common reason many dislike drinking their fiber: the texture and taste. Most bulking agents are flavorless, and you end up choking them down. Or certain drinks with fiber have a gritty, thick texture that’s all-around unpleasant. 

Taking these concerns into account, Diet Direct has developed a few options for high-fiber drinks that not only aid in your weight loss and overall health efforts but also taste great and might even offer a bit of protein.

Wonderslim Iced Fiber Drink Mixes

What’s cool, refreshing and full of satisfaction? Wonderslim iced fiber drink mix, available in Very Berry

Each serving bursts with sweet, fruit flavors and is easy to mix for a drink on-the-go or to hydrate following a gym session. For the healthy stuff:

• Each serving offers 5g of fiber — and one step toward your daily goal of 30g or more to support your gut and overall health.
• We’ve developed a comprehensive health-boosting beverage that includes seven essential vitamins and minerals. This includes 50% of your daily value of vitamin C plus folic acid, thiamine, biotin, manganese, pantothenic acid and magnesium.
• Keep your calories in check: With just 15 calories per serving, our fiber drink won’t significantly add to your overall caloric intake.
• Enjoy a sweet yet sugar free beverage that tastes great and won’t spike your blood sugar.

Wonderslim Meal Replacement Shake, Orange Creamsicle

What does a complete meal look like? Picturing a plate, you have a source of lean protein plus vegetables and an unrefined grain that contribute fiber to your diet.

We craft our meal replacement shakes, like this Orange Creamsicle flavor, based on these principles, offering a significant source of protein plus 4g of fiber to keep your gut happy and get you closer to your daily goal. 

• We use calcium caseinate, a milk-derived protein that takes longer to break down. In the process, it keeps you fuller longer and releases amino acids — essential for muscle health and more effective workouts. Each meal replacement shake includes 15g of protein.
• 24 vitamins and minerals round out its nutritional profile, so you’re supplying your body with exactly what it needs.
• We gear our meal replacement shakes to those seeking to maximize their caloric intake. In turn, each serving is just 100 calories but includes everything to keep you satisfied.
• Each meal replacement shake is made for life on-the-go. Just mix a packet with water or milk, and enjoy in place of a meal or for a satisfying snack.

Biocare GLP-1 Drinks

Taking a semaglutide like Ozempic or Wegovy goes beyond a shot. Your doctor expects you to evaluate your lifestyle and make changes that aid in your weight loss — particularly getting in more protein and fiber.

We’ve formulated our Biocare GLP-1 drinks, in Chocolate and Strawberries and Cream, to aid in your efforts and help you get closer to your weight loss goals. These drinks:

• Use probiotic and prebiotic fibers to help you manage common GLP-1 side effects, like nausea and bloating.
• Make the most of every calorie by offering 20g of protein for a 6 oz. serving plus 26 vitamins and minerals.
• Provide a source of lean protein and healthy fats to align with your new dietary recommendations. This increases the feeling of satisfaction and helps you eat less overall.
• Are easy to prepare on-the-go, ensuring you have a source of GLP-1-friendly foods at any time.
