Is it healthy to eat one bowl of cereal a day?

As Anna says, lots of sugar in most commercial cerealc. I have a bowl of oatmeal and treat it like cereal. Add sliced banana and blueberries, pour on milk, I like almond milk. Leave to soak for about 15 minutes and it is very tasty.

Your partner is correct, cereals is not healthy. Many popular breakfast cereals are high in sugar, low in protein, and often contain additives.

I’ve always heard Cheerios are a good source of whole grains and even have protein, but I’m not sure of the sugar content. In general though, cereals just aren’t very nutritious.

Things like porridge and weetabix are better to have than sugar and additive loaded cereals. Children may like something called overnights oats….its very popular at the moment…..layer oats with yogurt and fruits. Leave in the fridge overnight….its very tasty and the children could choose their own flavour of yogurt and the mix of fruits they want.

Sugar cereals are usually toxic, and loaded with additives and chemicals. Look at the box and read the ingredients. Look up the ones you never heard of. You might get a huge surprise.

Here in Scotland we do eat a lot of breakfast cereals. Some appear to be more healthy than others. I think the one we buy called Weetabix isn't too bad.
