Cereals High in Fiber and Protein
A Healthier Bowl: Cereals High in Fiber and Protein
When you're in a rush in the morning, cereal is the perfect meal — just pour it, spoon it, and you're good to go. There's probably over a hundred different boxes to choose from, and while I'm sure you know Apple Jacks isn't the healthiest (a serving has as much sugar as three Chips Ahoy! cookies), even seemingly healthy cereals aren't the best choice.
It's important to fill your bowl with a cereal that's both high in fiber and protein, since both help keep you feeling full. Here's a list to choose from — and all contain at least five grams each of fiber and protein.
