Now that you’ve read my post about sugar, I’ll occasionally post lower sugar ideas for breakfast, snacks, and other meals! If you can’t give up the convenience and crunch of breakfast cereal, here’s an option:

Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise cereal is SO good! It has 7g of sugar per serving. I like to take 2/3 -1 cup of the brown rice crisps cereal and add 1/3 cup of sunrise cereal. This reduces the sugar content in half.

Unsweetened almond milk typically has less than 1 g of sugar- 1 cup of skim milk has 11g of sugar in 1 cup. (would not recommend this brand though- Silk or Almond breeze is better!)

These cereals aren’t particularly high in fiber. Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for 4g of additional fiber.

Oatmeal and other hot cereals are great options, but I know so many of us love the convenience of dry cereal! Play around with proportions- if you still like your favorite sugary cereal, find a lower sugar or no-sugar dry cereal to add to your bowl, while adding less of your favorite cereal. Let your tastebuds get adjusted to it! Baby steps :)
