Cereals & Granolas

What is the Healthiest Cereal in Australia?

For many Australians, cereal and granola are easy breakfast options. Available in a phenomenal range of flavours and varieties, this household staple is a satisfying start to the day for Aussie families – just pour into a bowl and mix with your favourite milk!

However, not all cereals and granolas are healthy for you. In fact, many store-bought varieties are loaded with sugar, made with refined grains, and are highly processed with very little nutrition in the final product. 

GoodnessMe is on a mission to change this. Our range of healthy cereals online have been carefully selected by our nutritionists to be both a delicious and nutritious breakfast option. Made with 100% natural and organic ingredients, these beauties are loaded with the good stuff, including wholegrains, oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, for a nutrient-rich breakfast that will fill you up and fuel you through the busy day.

With sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, low GI options and more, you can pick a cereal that suits your dietary needs. Enjoy them in a bowl, sprinkled over yoghurt and fruit, or even crumbled into desserts and raw goods for a wholesome snack!

How do You Pick a Healthy Breakfast Cereal or Granola?

The healthiest cereals are packed full of natural ingredients for a well-rounded breakfast that’s high in fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. When choosing your next healthy cereal online, look out for these ingredients to ensure you’re picking one that’s truly good for you:

1. Rolled oats – Minimally processed wholegrains and oats are a powerhouse of fibre which is important for our health and wellbeing. Fibre can offer many health benefits, including aiding digestion. Opt for  
2. Nuts – Look for a cereal with a good variety of nuts. These are high in fibre, minerals, vitamins, protein, and healthy fats which are needed for overall health. These can include nut butters, such as peanut butter, or whole nuts, including almonds, macadamias, pecans, and cashews.
3. Seeds – Like nuts, seeds are rich sources of vitamins and minerals. In particular, flaxseeds are high in fibre and omega-3 fatty acids which may be beneficial for cardiovascular health and digestion issues.
4. Dried Fruit – Fruit makes an excellent addition to a healthy cereal and can be used as a natural sweetener. They contain a significant number of antioxidants, as well as fibre, vitamins, and minerals, and pair well with wholegrains and oats. Look for healthy cereal online with dried berries, apricots, figs, bananas, sultanas, and more. In particular some dried fruits like prunes can be especially helpful if constipated.

What Cereal or Granola has the Least Sugar?

As we mentioned, many supermarket cereals use artificial sweeteners and flavours to give them a sugary taste that kids (and adults) love! The best healthy cereal is one that has no added sugar and uses all natural ingredients like dried fruits, maple syrup, or coconut syrup to sweeten the cereal without elevating blood sugar levels.

GoodnessMe have a range of fruit-free cereals with a low sugar content for those looking to cut their sugar intake. Pour yourself a bowl of super creamy Paleo Pure Power Porridge which is sugar-free, as well as gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free. You can also buy Paleo Pure Grain-Free Granola Low Fructose for a cereal with no dried fruit or natural sweeteners.

Another great low sugar option is 2Die4 Activated Organic Muesli with cranberries and sultanas to provide a hint of sweetness. It’s packed full of goodness, including organic ingredients and long-soaked activated nuts for maximum fibre and nutrition.
