13 Healthiest Breakfast Cereals That Taste Great

Starting your morning off with a healthy cereal can set your day up for success.

Healthy breakfast cereal on the table

Not only does eating breakfast provide vital energy, but it also helps to regulate hunger throughout the day and even promotes weight loss. But this only works if you’re not eating sugary cereals for breakfast.

Unfortunately, many of the most popular cereals are full of sugar.

There are many different types of healthy cereals on the market, including ingredients from organic granola to high-fiber muesli.

Healthy Breakfast Cereal

Whether you’re looking for something savory or sweet, dynamic or consistent, or else, one of the following healthy breakfast cereals will surely fit your dietary needs – and taste great too!


Cascadian Farm Organic Purely O’s

Cascadian Farm Organic Purely O’s is a whole-grain cereal with ample fiber, calcium, and vitamin E.

I enjoy eating these with blueberries sprinkled on top to give them a more tart, floral, and sweet flavor, which livens up the whole-grain oats.


Alpen No Sugar Added Muesli

Alpen Muesli, with no sugar added, is a low-calorie, low-saturated fat, and high-fiber breakfast cereal that you can eat for breakfast or use as ingredients for other meals.

I like using it to make flourless muffins because the rolled oats, hazelnuts, raisins, and almonds help create a dynamic and delicious treat.


Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Muesli

If you prefer cereals that contain absolutely no soy, you should try out Bob’s Red Mill Muesli.

This soy-free, gluten-free muesli is perfect for cold cereal, but it’s also lovely in a brown sugar porridge.

The coconut flakes and pumpkin seeds in this cereal can spruce up any breakfast.


Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal, Original

Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal, Original has a lot to offer.

It’s vegan, yeast-free, flourless, and non-GMO, so it’s amenable to many different diets and preferences.

Best of all, it’s filled with fiber, providing six grams of it in every serving. I like using it to make healthy energy bars.


Love Grown Original Power O’s

Love Grown Original Power O’s are made with certified gluten-free oats and have no added sugar.

I appreciate that this cereal is also light on sodium. For added flavor, I like to mix it with almond milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon.


Nature’s Path Flax Plus Multibran Flakes

I love Nature’s Path Flax Plus Multibran Flakes because it’s filled with flax seeds, which are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

It also contains wheat bran and vitamin E, so I never feel guilty about eating two bowls of this in the morning!


Nature’s Path Flax Plus Raisin Bran

Because I trust the brand Nature’s Path, I was excited to try their Flax Plus Raisin Bran, and I was shocked at how delicious it was.

It’s crunchy and delicious, coupled with juicy raisins to create a dynamic consistency and flavor.

All you need is milk to enjoy this cereal, but you can use it in other cereal-based recipes too.


Uncle Sam Toasted Whole Wheat Berry Flakes & Flaxseed

Uncle Sam’s Wheat Berry Flakes cereal has a touch of barley malt in it, which gives it a unique, nutty flavor.

I especially love adding pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries to this cereal for extra texture and sweetness.

And if you want to treat yourself, this particular cereal also tastes great over ice cream.


Barbara’s Original Morning Oat Crunch Cereal

Barbara’s Original Morning Oat Crunch Cereal is always a hit with everyone in the family because it’s healthy enough for parents to agree to and tasty enough for kids to love and not get bored with.

It’s kosher, vegan, and high in fiber. Plus, the whole grains taste excellent with strawberries.


Nature’s Path Smart Bran

Nature’s Path Smart Bran is another huge hit from Nature’s Path brand.

It’s one of the best healthy breakfast cereals for digestive health because it has an impressive 17 grams of fiber in each serving.

This might be an overload for some diets because too much fiber can lead to gas, bloating, or cramping. But if you’re looking for high-fiber cereal, this is the best option.


Arrowhead Mills Organic Oat Bran Flakes 

Many of these healthy cereals include loads of vitamin E, but the Arrowhead Mills Organic Oat Bran Flakes also includes plenty of vitamin C, which is an important antioxidant for the immune system. 

It’s perfect to combine with almond milk or to use as an ingredient in a recipe like breakfast bites, muffins, or pancakes.


Kashi Go Rise

Kashi Go Rise is a non-GMO Certified cereal that’s crunchy, toasty, and exceptionally satisfying in every way. 

I appreciate the honey notes in this cereal because it helps me start my morning out on a sweet note!

The honey also helps to reduce the cereal’s natural bitterness, which is a huge plus.


One Degree Sprouted Cacao O’s 

One Degree Sprouted Cacao O’s makes you feel like you’re eating something way less healthy because of how tasty it is.

It includes a range of tasty ingredients, such as cane sugar, cacao, and vanilla, so it’s perfect for those with a sweet tooth.

This is the healthier version of other chocolate cereals.
