Our Top 5 Breakfast Cereal Picks

Breakfast cereals are easy, convenient and can be also healthy. So what cereals am I talking about? (sorry you won’t find fruit loops or coco pop listed here haha!)

Cereals have copped a bad rap for being unhealthy, but they can be a great option for breakfast as they are added with essential vitamins and minerals and contain wholegrains to help increase our daily fibre intake. Even better is pairing your cereal with milk or yoghurt, as this can increase our protein intake and help us stay fuller for longer!

Here are some tips to help you when you are looking for a healthy breakfast cereal:

• High fibre: Cereals listing 10g fibre per 100g are a great option because it can help you feel fuller for longer and help with regular bowel movements
• Wholegrains: Looking for cereals that contain more than 50% wholegrains can help increase the fibre content and help feed our gut bugs for a healthy digestive system
• Looking for added sugars: choosing cereals with less than 15g of sugar per 100g – but also being aware that some cereals include dried fruit (sultanas, dried apple etc) which can contribute to the sugar content
