Healthy Breakfast Cereals And What To Avoid | My Top 7 Picks

"Start your morning with the MOST important meal of the day and eat our delicious, convenient and healthy cereal!" Marketers have tried for decades to ingrain this concept in our heads, and you know what, it's just not true.
Not only is breakfast NOT the most important meal of the day, most cereals are just not good for your body. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't some options that are actually pretty decent.
So, let's cut through the clutter and find you some healthy cereals!

I will always love cereal.

[@jestexgarcia3601]

I appreciate your input on these & your upload of the video. Thank you!

[@andreasteinmann8888]

So glad I discovered your channel!

[@leeanns.4587]

Used to love shredded wheat and bran with a banana. This video reminded me, I’ll have to put that back in the rotation. Thank you!

[@gerardolindaorozco4120]

Thanks for this info

[@weston.weston]

Heritage Flakes is one I have been enjoying. I add raisins for sweetness with an unsweetened plant milk.

[@abacavip6426]

Great video!! I love Wonderworks Keto friendly cereal in chocolate. Closest to Cocoa Puffs you can get and still keep the sugars, calories and fat down. It’s 150 calories per cup, 12 grams of carbs, 1 gram of sugar and 15 grams of protein. It’s really filling and actually tasty.

[@christopherscruggs3897]

Appreciate this video thanks 🙏🏿

[@Mamadriggs]

I love adding grape nuts to oatmeal or even yogurt with fruit for a little texture.

[@laceybaier_]

There's just something so yummy about that CRUNCH! :)

[@authentichomestead]

Just plain old oatmeal works for me if I have any type of cereal. If I want some fats, I can always add some nuts and if I want some sweetness to it, I can add some fruit, very versatile.

[@laceybaier_]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing :)

[@cmont5636]

You can also add cinnamon for flavor and flax meal and chia seeds for fat

[@mmalithefather1472]

For me, plain oats, bananas and raw honey is everything I need. With a citrus fruit beforehand of course

[@USMCGrunt-jd8je]

Special K Protein. 18g of protein per serving. I often add grapenuts to it.

[@mlauren564]

I never have cereal on its own. Sometimes I add a healthy granola to my plain greek yogurt along with fruit and some spices like Cinnamon and Ginger. Of course, chia seeds and a little almond milk to change the thick texture. I used to get the 365 Chai Spice granola, but I'm not near a Whole Foods anymore. :(

[@user-hp5ht9bq4n]

It's real easy to break down what's good or bad for you. If it tastes good it's bad for you and if tastes like crap, it's good for you. There you go, you're welcome

[@MyMaria1224]

Great to know!! Lacey what milk do you add to your cereal? Where do you buy the English muffins you mentioned? ❤️❤️

[@alfredthabiso]

Interesting ! And Great video. Quick question, is weet-bix(weet-biscuits) a health option! I tried using the nutritional data on the box you tech and so far I think it's not a bad option but I wanted your opinion! Thanks

[@xvanilladropzxful]

Thanks 👍

[@derekraines8175]

hi there, I came across your video today as I was looking for healthy cereal to replace my Cap’n Crunch or my honey nut Cheerios. My triglycerides were high and need to do something about it. I really like corn shacks, especially the chocolate ones or some of the others. I didn’t look at the content and knows. I am a gluten-free person. I have numerous allergies. Thank you for your video.

[@tylerdinetz8729]

You can pair sugary cereal with a high protein and/or high fiber source and that will limit the sugar spike & crash

[@dpowell8340]

Lacey I'm interested in getting my macros. I see your 30 Day Healthy is on sale, when will your Custom Macro be on sale? Thanks

[@johnbehneman1546]

Thank you so much

[@laceybaier_]

You're most welcome!!

[@SarahWestTheAmericanTailQueen]

nice video!

[@mariad3011]

Hi Lacey! Love your videos! Any thoughts on Date Syrup and Date sugar? Also, what about malt o meal? Thanks!

[@chadgaul1681]

I hardly ever eat cereal at all in the morning. For me, it's usually straight black coffee or hot, unsweetened green tea. I do love a hot bowl of oatmeal better than cereal because of how versatile it can be, but I only reserve my oatmeal a few hours before bed because it relaxes me. It's rich in melatonin.

[@bander-Coolb]

Are rye flakes good I found them in my local upermarket .

[@Teresa-ni7og]

Oatmeal is my go to but my husband loves cereal so every Sunday night we have a cereal night so I appreciate the recommendations 😉

[@laceybaier_]

Aw, I love that!!

[@kathymcateer9168]

Can drink apple vingar and before while later after ceral

[@AlanGoldwaser]

Oatmeal isn't oatmeal. Quick cook oats will spike blood sugar. Steel Cut oats are really great. I prefer to use Organic Sprouted rolled oats that I combine with Navitas Organic CoCoa powder, Ground Cinnamon (it jacks up the cocoa flavor, no sugar yet, and a combination monk fruit/ erythrytol combo I get at costco.

[@yvettebennett6170]

I use to eat regular cheerios and added sliced banana fo sweetness and you also get some added fiber as well. Great cereal ideas. Thank you.

[@laceybaier_]

You're welcome! :)

[@rickyelvis3215]

So sugar on sugar with your added sugar.. good luck with that 🤣

[@stephcurry2350]

What's your opinion on Fibre 1 Crunchy Original?

[@Agent.Wadsworth]

Grape nuts with 🍓yogurt is 💣

[@user-op4uq4qv3p]

My favorite cereal is called Uncle Sam it also has flax seeds and no sugar very healthy in my opinion. Look for it. I find it at a store called Fry's. David from Yuma

[@elviswilliams5764]

Ezekiel is expensive but it is worth it

[@wendywertz8828]

Love one degree brand organic oatmeal’s !

[@thecapone45]

Cheerios, not the Honey Nut ones, have just 2g of sugar. Isn’t the plain one a healthier option compared to everything else from General Mills or Kellog, etc?

[@sashamangum1672]

For me I love eating the great grains cereals.

[@pixphi]

Can you do a video on low iron cereals? I'm hearing from David Sinclair that iron is pro-inflammatory.

[@johnbehneman1546]

Please continue to speak your truth.

[@laceybaier_]

Thank you for your support ❤️

[@Richard-pt4vf]

I learned on U Tube crumble pork rinds I add sprinkle Stevia (pinch) sprinkle cinnamon. taste like cinnamon toast crunch😊

[@laceybaier_]

Omg I've never heard of that lol

[@asprywrites6327]

I'm hooked on Honey Bunches of Oats, so I put a little of that in my own recipes (oats, granola, fruit, etc.)

[@abcmaya]

The first thing I look at is the serving size, because I eat at least 3 bowls a day. Then Carbs. Then Sugar.

[@denniskloss7351]

I prefer Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries for the fruit content.

[@altidareach5068]

Fiber one

[@tylerkirk1387]

Post shredded wheat or wheat bran?

[@gloriaceresoli314]

Do you use almond milk in your cereal?

[@monicahenry6487]

Harvest Crunch and yogurt?

[@MrMannyboy329]

What about Shredded Wheat? It has no sugar or added sugar plus 8g dietary fiber, but it shows 49g carb, where do the carbs come from?

[@Demonizar]

How’s about weetabix, and Quaker rolled oats ??

[@wendywertz8828]

Love purely Elizabeth cereal and organic oatmeal but I add nuts and whole fruit with it nothing else

[@leebutler926]

You mentioned a Great Nuts Ceral is that the Great Nuts Flakes cereal as well, which is my all time favorite , is is that added to the list as well ?

[@susano.7371]

My fave too

[@StevieB-jj9fz]

What about Total cereal?

[@jamescordasco5703]

I found the best, it's Post spoon size Shredded Wheat, 100%whole grain, no sugar, fiber 8g, protein 7g, fat 1.5g, High in nutrients. Available in every supermarkets.

[@laceybaier_]

Awesome - thanks so much for sharing :)

[@jmlporter79]

We like the taste of great grains banana nut crunch cereal and it’s usually less than $5 a box. Also we add some oats to it. I just looked at the box and it has 9 grams added sugar :-( thanks for ideas to find a healthy cereal.

[@laceybaier_]

You're welcome! :)

[@mariabarbaramarquez4698]

Another concern for me is the high carbs in cereal. I know there are good carbs and bad carbs but I see carbs from cereal are the bad carbs. Please correct me if I am wrong. I would love to see you do a video on good carbs versus bad carbs and what type of meals to have with good carbs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[@AlanGoldwaser]

What is your opinion of Natures Path Heritage flakes? I actually mix it with Trader Joes Hi Protein cereal and blueberries.

[@CalmVibesVee]

I’m having heritage flakes with plain shredded wheat and smart bran. I eat it dry with hot tea or water to help satiety. Water plus whole grain fiber is filling. 😊

[@AlanGoldwaser]

@@CalmVibesVee Due to not being able to get the high fiber from trader joes until last week, I spent a month and a half using fiber one. Technically, even better! twice the fiber and no sugar at all!

[@CalmVibesVee]

@@AlanGoldwaser i can’t eat that one due to gums, Sucralose, etc but I bet it tastes good. Have you had Natures Path Smart Bran? It’s very good. 17 fibers!! I mix it in my other ones. I have to check out Trader Joe’s. I usually go to sprouts and Whole Foods. The Heritage Flakes comes in a big bag! 👏

[@rinaoxox7308]

What about corn flakes

[@Europa1749]

I eat Nature's Path cereal. Muesli and granola have too many calories for a small amount. No raisin bran anymore due to sugar content. Cheerios are great but even with a banana, starving by 10:00 am. I make batches of steel cut oats to last 10 days a month which I sweeten with Stevia and add various toppings and plant milk.

[@laceybaier_]

That's great! Thanks for sharing :)

[@peterpuleo2904]

What about "Total" cereal?

[@creaturafauna]

Ezekiel is by far the most healthy

[@gmo709]

Grape-Nuts are sometimes called "grain nuts" and are not related to grapes or nuts. Charles William Post's process for turning wheat, barley, salt, and yeast into crunchy morsels is said to result in the creation of "grape sugars" and provide a nutty texture. And added sugars r no good esp in high amts.

[@laceybaier_]

Interesting - I've often wondered why they were called grape nuts

[@mrmarshmallows732]

Hey I've just started my own journey of losing weight, and i managed to go down 24 lbs. But something that i feel guilty about is eating honey, I have quit sugar for a long time but kept the Honey as sweetener for drinks. What's your idea about Honey? Note: the honey is home made, as from a trusted farm.

[@Lovethegoddess]

Honey is still sugar. Add honey in your teas for your weight loss journey don’t mix honey with other things for it will turn into fat and may increase your weight if it’s an continued habit

[@delightk]

@@Lovethegoddess you're wrong

[@hamzerpanzer]

​@@delightk Not wrong, but a little misleading

[@mrentertainer47]

Is there such a thing? I have researched far and wide and nothing stops a glucose surge for me - not even oats!

[@roobscoob47]

I💙-ish Lacey~

[@robertsmith6408]

Been eating plain Cheerios every mourning for breakfast for around 50 years. I love them with organic honey and keep me full. I have heard some bad things about pesticides in them lately, should i be concerned? My vitals are like a 20 year old so i guess they help!

[@duellonaboudica400]

I've been concerned about the pesticides too so I've switched over to Cascadian Farm Organic Purely O's Cereal. If you look at the ingredients label and nutritional facts, they appear to be identical with the cascadian farm version being organic. The other brands & types of organic O's are much more heavily laddened with carbs & sugars. both cherrios and purely O's have 29 carbs - 5 carbs fiber = 19 net carbs in a 1 & 1/2 cup serving. I eat a 1 cup serving so that's 13 carbs and fits well into my low-carb life of 50-100 grams of carbs a day. Others are trying to look this good by reducing the serving sizes on their packaging to only 1 cup or 3/4 cup or even laughably 1/2 cup. I mix my O's with a quarter cup of Special K Zero Keto cinnamon for the sweetness and flavor without adding any carbs or sugar or I'll use 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, apple bits or blueberries instead of the special K zero to change things up.

[@robertsmith6408]

@@duellonaboudica400 thanks for the info. Just had a consultant with a nutritionist and she said Cheerios are ok, but did not know about the pesticides. She suggested i eliminate the whole milk which i have been drinking my entire life with Almond milk with the Cheerios. She said the rest of my diet was fine but did to not eat so much cheese, which i love. I went on pure Keto about a year ago and lost a ton of weight but my health doctor said not to go on Keto, its dangerous as it has to much animal protein and when he broke it down to me it still comes to calories in and out. Meat and cheese has low calories, thats why Keto works.

[@CS-bu9kd]

👍👍👍

[@markspear1891]

I like Fruity Pebbles and Cookie Crisp. 🤣

[@user-en7qh9jv4b]

What about Kellogs Red berries?

[@coreyroth2979]

Too much sugar

[@katyactv9198]

The unhealthy fats you have to avoid are "vegetable" oils, e.g., soybean, canola, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, grape-seed, and/or rapeseed. Healthy ones would be olive, coconut, almond, or avocado.

[@stacykelliher3388]

Do you really like Ezekiel more than Dave's Killer?

[@JohnGrove310]

I like Total cereal...

[@ivankillins8407]

Coca Puffs - is a very good cereal - lots of sugar

[@bernieveillard939]

I gave up on Cereal. I make my own sugar free Granola.

[@laceybaier_]

That sounds great!!

[@rickyelvis3215]

have you lost your mind ? this is the perfect oxymoron 😜

[@stevesmith1383]

1/2 cup is nothing though as a serving size for Grape Nuts. so I'm gonna be eating 400 calories easy on cereal alone

[@jeanjospitre737]

Magic spoon

[@laceybaier_]

Yes, that one is higher in protein, but also is quite processed, still :/

[@coleOKeefe]

thanks but my local stores arent gonna have any of this stuff lol. *maybe* number 1 and original cheerios

[@tonye.5410]

Not an excuse, just order them or go where they are sold. Its 2024 dude...

[@arthursmith643]

You want healthy have toasted sourdough bread with a tbsp of olive oil topped with avocado. Add an egg if you want. 😢

[@donalddawes2518]

1. NATURE'S PATH ORGANIC SMART BRAN 2. MOST KASHI BRAND CEREALS 3. ORIGINAL GRAPE NUTS 4. BOB'S RED MILL MUESLI 5. MOST KASHI BRAND CEREALS 6.PURELY ELIZABETH ANCIENT GRAIN GRANOLA 7.

[@donalddawes2518]

THEN DON'T BUY IT, SIMPLE!@@aceaye07

[@thecapone45]

Why are you shouting?

[@HudsonValleyVHS]

Wrong. The real trick is to eat the ones with marshmallows that are shaped like "healthy basic food" like fruit, wild game like rabbits, or medicinal herbs like clover.

[@arthursmith643]

The American Heart association puts there label on unhealthy cereals. Like so many cereals Cheerios cereal has floor cleaner in it. Tripotassium Phosphate. Hearts healthy 😂😂😂😂😂

[@malvavisco10]

“Cash-ee”? Never heard anyone say it that way. It’s an ah sound, like kah-shee.

Are you sure soy is good for you....?

Your kids like grape nuts? Wow. I tried grape nuts as a kid. Never again. It taste like crunchy cardboard.

[@richardaskew]

Cheerios really do your research before posting a video cheerios oats are sprayed with pesities

[@tommyharris5817]

The best cereal is the one that doesn’t spike your blood sugar 1 hr after. Without checking, you’ll never know

[@josephrmendiola5061]

Talk too fast....slow down!!!

[@fmoor7283]

You should reconsider your re recommendation for cheerios honey or not.....as they contain a high level of a pesticide molecule called CHLORMEQUAT.....it"s not always all about calories...!!!
