Jolie Craig lives fast. Between managing a digital design studio and chasing after her toddler, time is always short—and meals had started to feel like a blur of granola bars and almond milk lattes.
“I knew I needed more real food,” she admits. “Especially fiber. I was running on empty.”
As a long-time vegan, Jolie was familiar with the basics of plant-based eating. But getting enough fiber and making it quick? That felt impossible—until she found her rhythm.
She started batch-prepping a few ingredients each weekend: lentils, roasted veggies, a big pot of brown rice. With those in the fridge, tossing together a balanced, high-fiber meal took minutes. She’d sauté greens and beans in garlic, reheat quinoa bowls, or mash chickpeas for quick sandwiches.
It wasn’t glamorous, but it worked—and it tasted good.
“The secret wasn’t finding more time,” she says. “It was building a system I could fall back on.”
After just two weeks, Jolie noticed the difference. She felt fuller longer, her energy smoothed out, and her digestion improved. “Fiber is seriously underrated,” she laughs.
Now, even on her busiest days, Jolie knows she can fuel her body fast—no compromise required.
