Hundreds of choices all with effective packaging and health claims…which one wins?

I am not focusing on anything specific like low sugar or GI…just an overall healthy cereal. (personally I don't care about taste I'm more interested sustenance)

Being ozbargain I would also like to know the most cost effective HEALTHY cereal option. MY personal top three are:

All Bran (I add banana)
Carman’s Original Fruit Free Muesli
Kellogg’s Five Whole Grain Muesli

What's your thoughts? I know that I can make my own and make it SUPER healthy… but I'm lazy, yet health conscious

    oats, but I prefer weetbix

      Agree. As for wheetbix, between the Sanatarium and the Uncle Toby's, I usually opt for the former, since it has 270 mg/100g of sodium, instead of the latter's 395mg/100g.

      Just as an aside, have been looking for sale on Sanatarium wheetbix for a while now at Woolworths and Coles, but there doesn't seem to be any for a while.

        I too have not seen Weetbix (as opposed to vita brits which i don't like) discounted for a long time. I remember getting $1 1kg boxes a few years ago, stocked up big time. Coles brand 'used to be' the sanitarium weetbix, and i think the aldi one is good.

        side note, bought 10 boxes of frosties for 25c a pack a month or so ago…..mmmm sugar

          @thevofa:
          If they can't even be bothered to change the batch number it is literally the same product.

          Perhaps you were comparing the last stale biscuit in your old box to a fresh biscuit in a new box?

        • nikey2k27 on 22/06/2016 - 01:29

        I prefer the former as well (even though it has more sugar) not because of ingredients but because it doesn't taste like dirt.

        • bluesky on 17/06/2016 - 20:02

          Dirt? Really? :-) Well, the saltiness might have masked it. I only notice that it is too salty.

      • diddy50 on 20/06/2016 - 18:26

        Sanitarium add sugar to the cereal, Kellogg don't.

        The star rating is screwed up, because weetbix get 5 stars due to added vitamins and minerals, but really it's less healthy due to added sugar. Go figure!

      Oats, skim milk powder, natural peanut butter and water.

    Rolled Oats, and a bag of oatbran and a bag of wheatgerm. Make porridge, sprinkle with oatbran an wheatgerm and add sugar and milk if desired. Full til lunch, guaranteed.

          Even lower GI than rolled oats.

          @Xyzzy: Is that like the broken biscuit rule?

    • dbun1 on 20/06/2016 - 10:46

      Yep, this is what I do now. Steel-cut preferable, but rolled oats if I need some in a pinch.

      I used to eat Weetbix, but started looking around for other options and found this to be the best. I was never full on Weetbix (was eating up to nine a morning) and would be starving by morning tea.

      The other good thing is Oats is so versatile and you can turn them into home made muesli bars etc.

      In a large storage container I'll also mix Oats, bran, coconut flakes, fruit + nut mix + whatever else and keep a stash of muesli for mornings I need something fast.

    • movieman on 22/06/2016 - 11:07

      Thank you.

      We'll be buying oatbran AND wheatgerm..

  • scrimshaw on 17/06/2016 - 13:45

    I don't eat cereal at all.

    Why? If you're wondering what cereal really is, it's just mostly 80% carb, 20% fiber (I pulled this figure out of my arse, since it varies depending on the type of cereal) and for taste adjustment, they also add sugar (or dried fruit, such as raisins or apple, both of which contain sugar).

    Lets look closely at the nutritional makeup of Kelloggs All Bran
    http://www.kelloggs.com.au/en_AU/all-bran-product.html

    47g Carbs per 100g of cereal
    - of which 17g is derived from sugar

    In comparison, Special K cereal has almost double the carbs, containing 83g per 100g of cereal. That's kinda high for something marketed on TV with images of hot young slim women doing Yoga while eating a bowl of Special K.

    There's also Sodium, roughly 218mg (comprising 7 percent of daily intake). That's an acceptable amount for breakfast though, but some cereals are actually pretty high in sodium (special K has 500mg), and you have to look out for these if are looking out for high blood pressure.

    Anyway, TLDR just read the frikin' nutritional panel and choose something that suits you. If you're trying to cut carbs because you're already eating carb-rich stuff for lunch and dinner as a staple (e.g Rice, bread, pasta) you might want to skip Cereals completely.
    But if you're an active person then cereals isn't necessarily a bad choice.

    • FlatulentFrank on 17/06/2016 - 13:48

      I do read the nutritional panel however I haven't gone through all the cereals for obvious reasons (there's just too many)

      Thanks for that! Definitely something to consider, yeah I'm extremely active in the evening but a sit down office job during the day.

      • scrimshaw on 17/06/2016 - 13:52
        +16

        If you're trying to improve you diet, you not only need to look at breakfast but also other meals. Plus snacks.

        What I learned from dieting a year ago was

        1. You can basically eat ANYTHING YOU LIKE so long as you control yourself. It's fine to sneak in junk every now and then, but portion control is a must and you have to count what you eat…

        2. How much you can eat depends on what you do for a living.. Office job, sitting on your butt all day, StarCraft Pro-gaming, you'd probably want to cut down on the carbs and eat mindfully.

        3. Be careful when trying to eat on the cheap. When you're on a limited budget and you start walking down the supermarket aisle, its tempting to pick out all the cheap crap that has little nutrition. E.g for office snacks you might end up getting biscuits, cup-a-soup, cup noodles or chips, because all of these options are somehow cheaper than a bag of tamarind almonds ($11 per bag) or celery with hommus dips ($8 total). Shop with your nutrition in mind, and not your wallet.

        • FlatulentFrank on 17/06/2016 - 14:09

          You can basically eat ANYTHING YOU LIKE so long as you control yourself.

          What? You can eat anything you like as long as you don't eat anything you like?

          Also most people cannot control themselves although they feel they are making rational decisions when they are making poor diet choices.

          Portion control is what I meant

          Also most people cannot control themselves although they feel they are making rational decisions when they are making poor diet choices.

          Yes
          Poor diet choices also influenced by what they see on TV and what they read in advertising.

          Got to cut through the marketing and do your own research and make informed decisions. And it's usually just reading the nutritional information and knowing what is good or bad. If your basing decisions based on the crappy Health Star rating you're too easily misled

    I am not focusing on anything specific like low sugar or GI…just an overall healthy cereal.

    There's likely no one cereal that's the healthiest for everyone.

    Are you overweight? Then a low-kilojoule cereal is going to be very important.

    Are you deficient in vitamins/minerals? Don't eat many veges? You want something that contains the nutrition you need, even if it's not low-kilojoule.

    • FlatulentFrank on 17/06/2016 - 14:09

      great point! In my case it would be veges - I do eat them although its usually frozen which has very little nutritional

      • scrimshaw on 17/06/2016 - 14:13
        +6

        Frozen veges do have nutrition, although they taste nothing like fresh veggies. According to results on Google anyway, the process of blanching and then flash-freezing vegetables results in most of the nutrition being kept.

        But the cooking process is what takes away the vitamins.

        http://www.abc.net.au/health/talkinghealth/factbuster/storie…

        So it's not as bad as you think. But they taste bad…

      • nikkirose on 17/06/2016 - 14:36
        +20

        You could not be more wrong. Most frozen produce goes from the farm to the factory and is processed and frozen quicker than the "fresh" stuff gets onto a truck for the markets. Frozen and canned fruit and vegetables are the freshest you can get besides straight from a farm or your garden.

      I love Cheerios. However they are by no means "low in sugar". They do make a low sugar version which is 1.5g sugar/100g. They are great for the texture and versatility but I add fruit to give sweetness.

    Fruit Loops

    • Glitch inthe Matrix on 19/06/2016 - 19:38

      I thought it was Fruit loops but it's actually Froot Loops. Maybe they changed the spelling because I was certain it was Fruit Loops. Or my memory isn't as good as I think it is. Even though I haven't eaten them since I was a kid, I still think it's spelled Fruit loops. The funny thing is, there are people who have made videos on youtube about the spelling. Some of them think it was originally Fruit loops but it was changed, while others believe it's always been Froot Loops. It's probably a Glitch in the Matrix!

      • claire on 19/06/2016 - 22:52
        +4

        Possibly having the word "fruit" in it implies that the product contains fruit?

        • Glitch inthe Matrix on 20/06/2016 - 20:07

          Yes, that thought did occur to me. I think what happened was, it was previously spelled Fruit loops. But it was changed to Froot because they probably realized it was misleading or deceptive to use the word Fruit when the cereal obviously doesn’t contain any fruits. Btw, I was joking it was a glitch in the Matrix.

      • nikkirose on 22/06/2016 - 13:28
        +2

        I just looked up images of old boxes. It has always been Froot Loops, on a side note, the brand of pineapple slices I buy have had a name change to tropical slices, I noticed this and have developed an aversion to opening the can. God knows what it is in it.

        • Glitch inthe Matrix on 23/06/2016 - 01:32

          The old boxes confirms it was originally spelled Froot. But in which country? Most likely, the US. Those boxes doesn’t prove, it hasn’t been spelled Fruit at one point (maybe in the US or other countries), during the years since the cereal was created. I don’t know when it was changed but that is one possible explanation why some people remember it as Fruit loops. I’m not the only person who thought it was Fruit loops. Look at Savas’ comment above, he spelled it as Fruit Loops. Someone else (Hunry) also posted in this thread with the same spelling. “Fruit Loops - can't go wrong with Toucan Sam!”. I honestly never seen the word Froot before, until recently (this month).

          I even asked one of my friends the other day if he ate Fruit Loops when he was a child. He did, so I told him to spell the name of the cereal. He hesitated for a moment and gave me a weird look haha. Then he spelled it as F-R-U-I-T. When I mentioned that on the box, it’s spelled Froot. He didn’t believe me and was genuinely surprised it was spelled Froot. He strongly insisted that he remembers it as Fruit loops. I’ve also read comments from people on different websites who adamantly believe it was spelled Fruit loops.

          Speaking of fruit loops, Freedom foods has a similar cereal called Rainbow crunch. It doesn’t have any fruits in it. Based on the ingredients and nutritional information. It looks healthier compared to Kelloggs Froot loops. I noticed someone posted this 5 star rating & comment “healthy fruit loops!” He or she thinks it’s spelled Fruit as well.

    If you want to buy just one thing, that has flavour without excess sugar & quite good nutrition, I'd recommend you try:

    This @ Woolies (currently $3.50 for 400g 50 cents off) ~12% sugar:
    Woolworths Reduced Sugar Multigrain Cereal

    Or this @ Coles (currently $5 about $2 off) ~8% sugar:
    247-Blueberry with Vanilla Coconut & Puffed Grains Breakfast Grains
    Product info: http://247life.com.au/products/breakfast-grains/

    I use the above two as a base, then add to it (but they are nice on their own):
    Ground Flax
    Homebrand Bran - half the sugar of All Bran, less than half the cost & 35% fibre $1.80
    Fruit free muesli - eg Sunsol nut lovers blend currently $4.80
    Sunflower seeds
    Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
    10-15 grams of protein powder (to help boost my daily protein intake).

    Recently I've also had this one, which, like the above two is fairly good nutrition wise (eg low sugar for a brekky cereal):
    Be Natural Cashew Almond Hazelnut & Coconut Cereal
    Edit: Currently $4 @ Coles http://shop.coles.com.au/online/national/be-natural-cereal-c…

        The Woolies one is actually only 10.5g sugar per 100g (not 12% as I wrote).

        And the Be Natural is 12 % sugar content.

        As for sodium content (per 100g):

        Woolies: 130mg
        247: 11mg (yes eleven!)
        Be Natural: 195mg

    Start making your own muesli. The lazy and cheap way to do it is to buy home brand rolled oats and store brand muesli mix, and mix according to taste. Wean yourself off the sugar slowly by adding less muesli to your oats each time.

    I like Freedom Foods Active Balance Buckwheat and Quinoa (low sugar, low salt, high fibre). Otherwise, Ancient Grains (with sorghum and buckwheat) is higher in sugar but still pretty good. Wouldn't fit the "cost effective" label though, them being in the health foods aisle.

    • Glitch inthe Matrix on 19/06/2016 - 19:29

      The Buckweat and Quinoa is the cereal I normally eat. It already has pepitas but I like to add more Pumpkin kernels (Macro brand) from Woolworths for the extra protein. I agree, these cereals aren't cost effective and the price is higher compared to other cereals. It's probably because of the type of ingredients they use. Quinoa/Buckweat/Sorghum are more expensive to grow and produce compared to wheat/rice/corn/oats and other common ingredients in most cereals. The size of the Buckweat & Quinoa isn't that big (350g). I finish one box in 2 days, sometimes you can buy the Freedom Foods cereals for half price at Woolworths and Coles. Last week, most of them were half price at Woolworths. I bought 6 boxes of the Buckweat & Quinoa and also 4 other flavours (The Crafted blends lemon myrtle, Toasted Muesli Vanilla, Rice Flakes, Rice Puffs).

      The Lemon myrtle and Toasted Muesli Vanilla I hadn't tried them before. They taste really nice, I've eaten them as a snack without needing to add milk. But the amount of sugar is higher compared to the Quinoa & Buckweat cereal. I wouldn't eat those two everyday, maybe once in a while. The Rice Flakes and Rice puffs taste quite bland on their own but the nutritional content seems to be good. I had an idea to mix them together, it improves the flavour and tastes better. After I did this, I noticed on the box of the Rice puffs that has a suggestion to invent a new cereal by mixing it with other Freedom Foods cereals.

    • pierre6 on 20/06/2016 - 20:42

      I too sorta recommend Freedom Foods.

      Since they revamped the packaging a few months back they jacked up the sugar content (still quite low compared to say the confectionery Kellogs call breakfast food), decreased the contents of the box but maintained the same price. I want to punch marketers in the face when they come up with this innovative thinking.

    Unfortunately Oats and small amounts of fruit/nuts is the only way to eat a truly healthy and affordable cereal-type breakfast.

    Oats are quite versatile at least so you can mix it up. Porridge, bircher, homemade muesli.

    That said all the options are more time consuming than just a bowl of shelf cereal.

    Sometimes feels like the years of extended life you gain for eating healthy are cancelled out by all the damn meal prep.

    I have a veg and fruit smoothie for breakfast. I also eat some Aldi Apricot & Almond muesli (oat based with fruits and nuts) - good for you, tastes great and cheap as heck.

    I also add flaxseed and wheat germ to my muesli.

      That muesli is my favourite, all I do is chuck some of that on top of weetbix with some bran (the less processed type). Relatively cheap and I don't see how it's so bad for you? I think some people are being a bit precious about what's good for you.

    Find someone you know to buy on your behalf,
    Brookfarm's
    GRANOHLAAH
    Cranberries & Tart Cherries 1.5kg
    from COSTCO
    It costs about $20, but that is good value when you see the quality of the supergrain contents and considering it is 1.5kg.
    Doubt you will find anything of better quality.
    Personally, nothing else compares.

      I'm a huge fan of Brookfarm products. They are expensive (which understandably would put many Ozbargainer off buying it) but they have good quality ingredients. You can tell when you are eating it they haven't skimped on the more expensive components (macadamias especially).

      However they are not low in sugar by any means.

      I eat the toasted muesli and its 16.5g sugar/100g. Delicious but I'm not kidding myself that it's "healthy", especially when I add banana as well.
      It is kind of balanced though as it has a lot of good fats and eating it with yogurt will do wonders for your gut.

    but I'm lazy, yet health conscious

    Okay, plenty of good suggestions already. This is kinda what I do.

    • Three pitted prunes,
    • Two bananas,
    • 50 grams cereal — choose whatever is most palatable for you,
    • Coffee.

    My personal bias is towards fruit, and a small to moderate amount of cereal. All cereal is processed to some degree, and I just find it takes too long to eat — if you don't chew it properly there's little point.

    Your ratios will depend on what GI/fibre balance is right for you.

    All cereals have high sugar content, don't believe the healthy labels.

    Best cereal IMO is oats, just buy natural oats or quick oats boil in milk and cool it down then add honey. Beats any cereal in terms of taste and very healthy low GI lowers cholestrol

    I rotate daily - Organic oats, puffed rice, puffed corn, and Vitabrits (Nutrition panel reads better than Weetbix) I never add sugar etc. Warm water with a little low fat organic milk. Cheap and very healthy.

  • misfitt1911 on 18/06/2016 - 13:08

    Oats with water and protein powder.

    I make a Bircher muesli before going to bed. Rolled oats, bran, seed mix, almonds, yoghurt, milk, sometimes fruit juice, and add berries and/or apples or tinned pears/peaches. Grab it in the morning and eat it at work. Even quicker in the morning than normal cereal! And very filling.

    Rolled oats.
    Home brand
    $1.59 kg Woolies
    $1.78 kg Coles

    • rawm on 19/06/2016 - 08:00

      Dont forget rolled oats at Aldi. Not exactly sure of the per kg price but 99% sure its cheaper than woolies/coles.

        I tried to find the Aldi price.
        I hate the way Aldi removed its online price catalogue.
        The constant reports that Aldi is cheapest is BOGUS IMO.
        The studies compared a basket of Aldi brands with Coles and Woolies premium select brands.
        The Choice study had a small note that said Coles and Woolies were actually cheaper if the "Smart buy" and "Homebrand" were purchased.

        Aldi's oats were $0.99 for 750g last I checked, bit that was a number of months ago. So around $1.34/kg.

        Surprised about the Woolies/Coles prices - I thought they were closer to the Aldi price.

        • jm48 on 20/06/2016 - 11:13

          OK, they say the current price at Aldi is $1.08 for 750g = $1.44 kg
          Considerably cheaper than Coles and Woolies, so I was wrong in this instance.

    Oats, muesli, quinoa porridge

    Oats are easily the healthiest. Have a slice of fruit either seperately or added to the oats depending on the type of fruit

    Overnight oat/fruit smoothie! I make overnight oats and then blend (stick blender) with berries (frozen) and/or banana in the AM. If I use banana then I tend to soak the rolled oats in water rather than milk.
    It tastes really rich like cake batter if I include banana, oats, milk, cinnamon and berries.
    I try to control portion size and minimise sugar (no added sugar, use small bananas and use raspberries/strawberries rather than blueberries) however most importantly I enjoy it :)

    • ihbh on 19/06/2016 - 06:39

      Where do you buy the cinnamon, and which type do you buy?

      • Zoosh on 20/06/2016 - 22:43

        Woolies/Coles, ground cinnamon.
