Hold your nose, we’re diving into the poopy topic! We're tackling bowel movement and calling out fiber and hydration as the key players. But we’ve got a treasure of edible powerhouses in our kit to specifically supercharge your number two. Be prepared, some may surprise you!

First off, why blend the kiwi and ditch the skin when the real fiber power hides right there? Kiwi skin might tickle your tongue but it also fast-tracks your poop across your digestive lane. Besides fiber, kiwis are armed with antioxidants rumored to reign over your digestive health. So next time, forget peeling. Chomp down that kiwi- skin, flesh, and all- just like an apple.

If you think beans only give you stupid fart jokes, think again. Beans are chock-full of fiber and magnesium - the dynamic poof-duo that prevent constipation. Salads, grain bowls, tacos, pasta- you name it, they’ll blend right in. Just pick your favorite type and go crazy.

Oh, and speaking of going crazy, sprinkle chia seeds over (almost) anything- breakfast bowls, salads, smoothies. Did anyone say fiber sprinkles? They even gel up like flubber, accelerating your bowel rhythm.

We’ll do a quick pivot to something sweeter- Prunes. Thanks to their sorbitol prominence, prunes are like fiber-infused candy that amps up your poop regularity. They blend seamlessly into smoothies, salads, and baked goodies. Or try this chic trick- blend prunes with hot water to make purée, which can replace some sugar or fat in your recipes.

Flaxseeds, or as we like to call them – the mighty mini fiber warriors, are next on our list. Remember to grind them before adding them to your food for better digestion. Bonus tip – hydrate adequately while consuming flaxseeds lest you want a tummy tantrum.

Finally, get pectin-packed with apples. Remember, "an apple with skin a day, keeps constipation away”, because pectin and fiber are the best mates for a smooth stool passage. Slice ‘em, dice ‘em, blend ‘em- toss them in your breakfast, salad or main dish- apples perfectly blend their sweetness into both sweet and savory flavors.

Struggling to visit the porcelain throne despite dietary additions? Well, your body might be putting up a rebellion, and it’s time to involve the pros. By pros we mean your doctor and not the plunger.

Turns out, the secret to improving your bowel movements is not a crazy concoction but simple dietary adjustments. So eat up and let the poop party begin!
