Cereal should be made from whole grains. The first ingredient should be whole grain wheat. Sprouted wheat is even healthier!

There should be no more than 10g of sugar per serving.

BHT should be avoided! It’s a preservative commonly added to cereals. However, tocopherols is a preservative that’s healthier. It’s made from Vitamin E.

 There should be at least 3 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per serving. That’s what keeps you full.

Tip: Generally the healthy cereals are the unsweetened cereals (like grape nuts). To make it tastier for you or your kids to eat, add a teaspoon or two of a natural sweetener. You can add stevia, monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar to make it more appealing.

There shouldn’t be canola oil or any hydronated oils added to your cereal.

Avoid following ingredients in your cereal: corn syrup, maltodextrin (preservative not good for your gut) , dextrose, and canola oil

Non-GMO is recommended
