Cereal can be a fun, quick and easy breakfast choice for children, but it’s important to read labels to make sure you’re serving up a healthy bowl. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests these guidelines:
Health Tips
* Skip the cartoon-covered boxes geared toward children, as they tend to contain more sugar and less fibre than other types of cereal.
* Opt for cereal with at least two, and ideally at least five, grams of fibre per serving.
* Stick to cereals with less than 12 grams of sugar per serving.
* Add cut-up fresh fruit to cereal for additional sweetness and nutrition.
* Choose a whole-grain cereal when possible.
