About this deal

Two of the cereals - Kellogg's Fruit and Fibre and Jordan's Crunchy Oat Granola - scored red for sugar. This sugar comes from sweetened dried fruit added to the cereal, along with added sugar. Top with honey, dark fruits, nuts and seeds. Yogurt is also nice for adding a protein punch. 5. Oatibix Original Sugar-frosted cornflakes are high in sugar and low in fibre as well as usually coming with added salt. Sugar-frosted flakes are usually nutritionally similar to other sweetened cereals like chocolate rice cereals, or honey-nut coated cereals.Swapping to an unsweetened equivalent, like cornflakes or puffed rice, would be a good first step and add a serving of fruit for one of your five- a-day plus some added sweetness. Having said this, you should always aim for a fat/protein addition to any healthy breakfast, so peanut butter, nuts, seeds are all sound shredded wheat toppings. 3. Shreddies

It took me a while to realise not all mueslis are healthy. I mean, they look healthy, but many varieties come with added sugar and fruit, making them just as bad as Cheerios. When it comes to protein content, both kinds of cereal contain a good amount of protein per serving compared to some other breakfast cereals, again they’re very similar, but of the two, Oatibix contain slightly more protein per 100g. Cereal TypeMany consumers choose a cereal like Weetabix or Oatibix because of the fiber content with both being marketed as high-fiber choices for a healthy gut. As with porridge, be careful with your toppings. Many people sprinkle a few teaspoons of refined sugar on their shredded wheat – and this can cause early insulin spikes. Not good.

Wholegrain cereals like bran flakes, malted wheat cereal and wheat biscuits are high in fibre and will also have sugar and salt added to them usually, so avoid adding any more sugar and opt for fruits or berries for sweetness. The wholegrains mean they are high in fibre and so have benefits for your digestion too as well as your heart health. Note: The breakfast cereals below are ranked by ingredients list only, not nutritional information as portion sizes on cereals are generally 30g/40g which is just unrealistic. The cereals are also ranked by total percentage of oats/wheat, as this should be the core component of any healthy breakfast cereal). 1. Porridge Surprisingly, the market leader, Weetabix, is at the lower end of the spectrum with just 95% wheat. In the Weetabix Protein types there is slightly less at 92% wholewheat. Recent guidelines highlighted that, as a UK population, we are having too much sugar and not enough fibre. Fibre is important for gut health and some can help towards lowering cholesterol. Some cereals also contain vitamins and minerals such as iron, vitamin D, and B vitamins such as folic acid. We shouldn’t lose sight that there is added sugar in Rice Krispies Multigrain, though, so avoid adding anything to them. An unsweetened plant milk is also going to be better than a regular milk as regular milk contains natural milk sugars. 9.
