If you find yourself indulging, aim for something beneficial.
Breakfast cereal, much like carbonated beverages, is a type of food that society collectively reassessed over the past decade. Despite its prevalence in childhood breakfasts, most mainstream breakfast cereals contain primarily sugar and preservatives. The advertisements claiming they were “part of a balanced breakfast” were undoubtedly overstated. Nevertheless, cereals are affordable, widely available, and filling, and not everyone has the resources or time to enjoy a fancy, nutritious breakfast every morning. If cereal is what you opt for, try to select a relatively healthy option.
Fortunately, similarly to soda, this collective reassessment prompted a surge of efforts to create truly healthy cereals, or at least healthier alternatives to the sugary offerings that dominate grocery store shelves. By exploring the organic section of your local supermarket, you’re likely to encounter numerous emerging cereal brands striving to bring something new to the table. Have you come across Magic Spoon, for instance? Magic Spoon cereals aim to mimic your beloved childhood favorites while also being entirely free from sugar and gluten, packed with a substantial amount of energizing protein.
If you prioritize fiber, there’s a cereal that lives up to its name: “Poop Like a Champ.” Yes, that’s its real name. This gluten-free and wheat-free brand contains a remarkable 22 grams of fiber per serving, both soluble and insoluble, which is sure to cleanse your colon thoroughly, much like a drain snake clears a clogged kitchen sink. Combined with some fruit and a glass of water, this cereal is bound to make your time in the bathroom quite interesting.
If the organically produced options are beyond your budget, some traditional favorites like Post Grape Nuts, Fiber One, and Kashi could suffice. Just remember to scrutinize the nutritional information to avoid unnecessary additives.
