Hi everyone. I always have cereal for breakfast, as I'm always in a rush in the morning so need something really quick, and I also love it. I'm just wondering what you think is the healthiest cereal? At the moment I eat special K, but I know it's quite high in sugar so want to switch.

    The healthiest cereal is the one that fits well into your daily calorie and macronutrient goals.

    I got fiber one. I got it because I'm trying to get a lot of fiber and 1 cup has 28 g so that's a win for me.

    Yep. Fiber One (Chocolate) is my favorite. Goes great with banana or/and raspberries and watch the fiber go through the ceiling. I don't really care about the sugar like I do with protein and fiber.

    I like kashi go lean, there are a couple varieties but the basic one has red trim on the box. Has 13g of protein in a cup which is huge for cereal. I tend not to go for the other varieties of go lean since they have chicory root in them which upsets my stomach.

    I love the go lean as well and i'll put in half a scoop of peanut butter protein powder with 8oz of u/s almond milk... its sooo good

    Something with some protein, vector is my fav. But I also like granola based types like nature harvest.

    I like Kashi Go Lean, and Qia, added to Greek yogurt. Yum!

    I like Whole Grain Total because it has a LOT of vitamins and minerals. I usually crumble it on top of my vanilla yogurt to make a more nutritionally dense topping than granola.

    I'm a fan of Kix. Kid Tested Mother Approved! But it is actually really good, and it has a higher serving size than many other cereals

    Weetabix I think is one of the healthiest ones out there

    I recently tried Trader Joe's O's (the organic high fiber ones). Pretty good and you get a huge serving for few calories.

    What about cheerios? Do they have a decent nutritional profile. I've never tried them

    I look for sugar of less than 6g per serving. My favorite is a bran flake cereal -- and I add a cut up banana. Kashi has a couple that fit the bill.
    Nutrition Action Newsletter has a listing and the ones I buy for my kids are Life and Honey Bunches of Os.
    My market is currently carrying Cheerios Ancient Grains -- and it is so, so, so good. I hope they keep it permanently in the line.

    My favorite right now is Shredded Wheat and Bran. Ingredients are wheat and bran.
