What Is Fibermaxxing?
Fibermaxxing is a growing trend where people focus on getting enough daily fiber to close the gap between what most people eat and the recommended 25–30 grams per day.
At just better.®, we define fibermaxxing as intentionally increasing your fiber intake without overhauling your entire routine — finding ways to add fiber to the meals and snacks you already enjoy so you can support digestion, balance blood sugars, and feel satisfied throughout the day.

Ingredient Highlight
Avocado: Avocados are a powerhouse of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium, and fiber. One medium avocado offers around 10 grams of fiber, making it an ideal base for a fibermaxxing recipe. The creamy texture also helps bind all the ingredients together without the need for dairy.
Tomato: Tomatoes bring bright flavor and a dose of vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, which has been linked to heart health and reduced inflammation. The slight acidity balances the richness of the avocado.
Red Onion: Red onions add crunch and sharpness while offering compounds like quercetin, which supports antioxidant activity. They also contain prebiotic fibers that naturally feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
Jalapeño: Fresh jalapeño delivers the spicy kick in this guacamole along with vitamin C and capsaicin, which may help support metabolism. You can adjust the amount to match your heat preference.
Cilantro: This fresh herb adds brightness and a burst of flavor, along with antioxidants and micronutrients like vitamin K. Cilantro also complements the lime perfectly for a fresh finish.
JBB Fun Fact: If cilantro tastes like soap to you, it’s not in your head—it’s in your genes! A variation in the OR6A2 gene makes some people more sensitive to certain compounds in cilantro, giving it a soapy flavor. If that’s you, try swapping in fresh parsley for a similar pop of green without the soapy taste.
Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice brings acidity to balance the creamy avocado while delivering a boost of vitamin C. It also helps slow browning so your guacamole stays vibrant.
With these wholesome, flavor-packed ingredients, this guacamole is already a nutrient-dense choice. Adding just better.® prebiotic fiber blends invisibly into the mix, giving you a simple way to help close the fiber gap — no one will taste the difference, but your gut will be doing a happy dance!
