Product Information

Porridge is our top choice for a heart healthy breakfast – when it is made with low-fat milk or water and unsweetened. All porridge oats are wholegrains and they all contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan, which can help lower your cholesterol level if you have 3g or more of it daily, as part of a healthy diet. (A 40g serving of porridge oats contains 1.6g of beta-glucan.) As well as this, you’ll be getting the fibre from the whole grains, plus there is no added sugar or salt.

Dawson added: “We trialled a cereal pot a few years ago but we didn’t get it right so what can retailers expect this time round? If you enjoy your cereal with milk whether it’s traditional milk or non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk, you need to store the liquid in a container so it doesn’t leak. And, you’ll want to keep your cereal separate so it stays crunchy. So, you have a few options if you want the best cereal to-go containers.Oatmeal is incredibly versatile and can be prepared in many ways. It is often boiled with water or milk and then topped with fresh fruit, cinnamon, or nuts. We’ve ranked the most popular cereals from best to worst based on their nutritional value – in particular added sugar, fibre content, salt. Read on to get your day off to a heart-healthy start. 1. Porridge Naturally, the first place you should look on the nutrition label is the carbs category, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, R.D.N., creator of BetterThanDieting.com and author of Read It Before You Eat It - Taking You from Label to Table. “These days, popular diets bash carbs, so people think if this is a high number, they shouldn’t have it,” she says. “But really, you need to think about portion size and the type of carb.” It’s also important to consider protein, fat, and other nutritional info before pouring yourself a bowl. This presents a huge opportunity for retailers to explosively grow on-the go sales at breakfast which is the biggest meal occasion in the UK. Eating a hearty meal in the morning sets you up for the day. But not all breakfasts are created equally. Consider choosing one of the best healthy cereals on the market to help you make smarter choices in the a.m.—and to save you from a sugar crash later on in the day.

Cereals like cornflakes or puffed rice served with low-fat milk – can be part of a healthy breakfast but are low in fibre so not as good a choice as a wholegrain cereal. Adding a piece of fruit will help to balance your breakfast as well as making it more filling to eat. These cereals, and their wholegrain equivalents, usually come with added sugar and salt but also often have added vitamins and minerals which are good for your overall health. Other low-fibre unsweetened cereals (like crisped rice or malted flakes) will be similar from a heart health point of view. Of course, Cheerios have always been my favorite whole grain oat cereal. They have a great selection of different varieties so that there’s something for everyone in my family to enjoy. We updated this article in March 2023 to add more information about each featured product, based on extensive research done by our team. Shredded whole wheat cereal with low-fat milk is the best choice of conventional breakfast cereals, because it doesn’t contain any added sugar or salt, and is high in fibre. Watch out, though, for the kind with fruit fillings, which may contain added sugar, or that are ‘frosted’ as they will almost certainly will have sugar added. Instead try adding fresh fruit such as a banana or berries for sweetness.

The best kind of carbohydrate for your cereal is whole grains—which should take the first spot on the ingredient list. Look for words like 100 percent whole wheat, wheat bran, or another variety like rye. “[These grains] help keep us full, while providing lots of minerals and vitamins, like B vitamins,” Taub-Dix says. You don’t necessarily need a ton of fat in your cereal, as that macronutrient will come from other sources throughout your day. But if you want to make your bowl more satiating, Taub-Dix suggests adding some nuts. They add some healthy fats and a bit more crunch, too. The cereals included in the new Kellogg’s cereal to go range are Kellogg’s Special K, Corn Flakes, Krave, Crunchy Nut and Rice Krispies. They will be available from April 2014 and have an RRP of 99p.

There are several different ways you can do this depending on how you like to eat your cereal.

No added sugar muesli contains a mixture of grains, fruit and nuts and the combination will differ between brands and varieties so the amount of oat beta glucans will be more variable than porridge, which is made only of oats. The dried fruit that is added should provide all the additional sweetness you need and will also count towards your five a day but choose a muesli with no added sugar and be aware that many fruit and nut mueslis (especially tropical fruit versions) contain sweetened dried fruit, which means they have sugar added even if it isn’t listed separately on the ingredients. Banana chips are another popular muesli ingredient that will contain added sugars and saturated fats.A good source of vitamins and minerals; A fun part of any balanced breakfast at home or on-the-go; Enjoy with or without your favorite milk If you’re looking for the best cereal to go, I wanted to share my thoughts and a few tips with you.

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. In fact, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated what it means for food to be “healthy.” It even laid out the following as a parameter for cereal: “Cereal would need to contain ¾ ounces of whole grains and contain no more than 1 gram of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, and 2.5 grams of added sugars.” I’ve just learned that there is a new Cheerios on the market that you can find at your local Walmart. It’s the Cheerios you love with whole grain oats and real honey all rolled into one. New Cheerios™ Oat Crunch Oats ‘N Honey is a nutritious, hearty and simply delicious breakfast. And, it’s the best cereal to go because it stays crunchy! Best to-go containers Opt for brands with five grams or less of sugar per serving. “A good thing to know is that when there’s a lot of added sugar, there will also be a high carbohydrate number,” says Taub-Dix. The closer the sugar number is to the carb number on the nutrition label, the more sweet stuff and less grains there are in the box. So keep sugar under control by choosing brands with about five grams or less of sugar per serving. The good news is there are plenty of crunchy, whole-grain cereal alternatives you can enjoy daily, without consuming too much of the sweet stuff—and you don’t have to sacrifice taste.
