How to Pick the BEST Breakfast Cereal

It is easy to get sucked into the advertising of less sugar and more whole grains but what are you really looking for in a cereal that is healthy AND still tastes good? A quick glance at the nutrition label will tell you everything you need to know.

You want a cereal that has more than 3g of fiber per serving, fewer than 10g of sugar and a healthy amount of whole grains, which means that it should be the first thing in the ingredient list. Also, make sure that you can actually understand all of the ingredients so you know it is a more natural food with fewer artificial flavors.

Many cereals are now adding dried fruit and while it isn’t the worst idea, make sure to pay attention to all the added sugar and calories. You are always better off slicing your own bananas and strawberries into your bowl. Hopefully these tips will help you select a healthy and tasty cereal to start your day off right!
