Hitting my daily protein and fiber goals has always felt like a full-time job.<\/p>\n

Between dry-scooping powders<\/a>, meal-prepping endless batches of grilled chicken and sneaking collagen<\/a> and whey into everything from soups to smoothies, I\u2019ve spent almost a decade trying to consistently hit my recommended protein<\/a> count (70 grams per day, at least).<\/p>\n

I know firsthand that protein is key for building muscle<\/a> and staying satisfied through the day, yet I still find it surprisingly difficult to bulk up my intake. I also don\u2019t eat much red meat and have never been crazy about the chalky texture of protein bars<\/a>, which just makes it even more of a challenge.<\/p>\n

When I finally get close to hitting my protein, there\u2019s a new problem staring me down: I\u2019ve barely eaten any fiber. Preparing meals that are full of fresh fruits and veggies takes time, effort and a grocery bill that adds up fast. It\u2019s a combination I rarely have the bandwidth for.<\/p>\n

As a health and wellness writer, I\u2019m well aware of the importance of both protein and fiber. Fiber-rich foods<\/a> are linked to lower cholesterol, better digestion, more stable blood sugar, and maintaining a healthy weight. Research<\/a> even suggests that a high-fiber diet may reduce the risk of certain cancers.<\/p>\n

Yet, despite knowing all of this, I\u2019m not alone in falling short on my fiber. A 2016 study<\/a> published in the National Library of Medicine found that an estimated 95% of American adults and children don\u2019t get enough fiber. It\u2019s a staggering statistic, considering the many benefits of eating fiber-rich foods.<\/p>\n

When I discovered Good Gummies<\/a>, I was cautiously optimistic; natural watermelon gummies packed with 15\u00a0 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber per serving. And, supposedly, reviewers are saying they taste like candy. The hook almost seemed too good to be true.<\/p>\n

The fact that something so nutrient-dense could actually taste delicious, let alone be made without a laundry list of preservatives and additives, was almost mind-boggling. Not to mention, the fact that they come in a convenient, portable gummy form that alleviates the stress of meal preparation.<\/p>\n

Yet, I still had to find out whether the taste was, in fact, palatable and the ingredients were as good as the brand made them out to be. Of course, I was also curious if a 12-pack was really worth $48.<\/p>\n

After stocking my pantry and testing for a week, I\u2019ve gathered some key takeaways.<\/p>\n
