Have you ever wanted to wow your guests by cooking like a pro and serving up delightfully scrumptious and deliciously surprising dishes complete with a super-secret and on-trend ingredient?

To help aspiring Canadian chefs turn their backyard BBQ or summertime soirée into the culinary talk of the town, Kellogg's All-Bran has partnered with renowned Celebrity Chef Elizabeth Falkner to add a hit of fibre - one of the year's hottest food trends - to her favourite summertime recipes.

"Whether I'm competing on the Food Network or cooking for family and friends, as a chef, taste always comes first," says Chef Falkner. "That's what's so great about cooking with All-Bran. I can serve up healthful dishes without affecting the big, bold summertime flavours I love."

The timing couldn't be better for Chef Falkner to serve up fibre rich inspiration bursting with big, bold, mouth-watering taste.

Despite its known health benefits, most Canadians only get half the recommended daily fibre intake1. Luckily, adding essential fibre to your daily routine is as easy as blending, filling or coating your favourite foods with All-Bran. Incorporating just a half-cup of All-Bran Original or one-third a cup of All-Bran Buds delivers a significant fibre boost - nearly half of the recommended daily intake.

Canada's Hottest Summer Food Trend: Fibre

Although we all know fibre helps keep our digestive system running smoothly and makes for happy tummies, what most may not know is a high-fibre diet:

  • Promotes heart health - lowers cholesterol2 and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease3
  • Assists with weight management2- increases feelings of fullness2
  • Mitigates the risk of Type 2 Diabetes4 - improves blood sugar levels2

For men, the recommended daily fibre intake is 38 grams and for women, 25 grams5. With a proven link between fibre and these impactful health benefits, All-Bran is committed to helping Canadians suffering from a fibre deficit discover what they're missing.

How do you add fibre to your diet? All-Bran and Chef Falkner are calling on Canadians to share how they create high-fibre, tasty recipes using #AllBranNew on social media.
