Here are the highlights with a link to the full article:
There are few things more nostalgic than a bowl of cereal. For many folks, the dish sparks thoughts of cartoon mascots, '90s commercials, and rushing to school in the a.m. (Ah, the memories!) And while a lot of the cereals of your childhood probably still exist, you might be looking for something higher in protein to eat on the regular, especially if you have muscle-building goals.
There are a lot of "healthy" cereal options out there that tout impressive health metrics thanks to creative marketing, but what are the actual best high-protein cereals out there and how can they benefit your routine? “Adding protein to the first meal of your day will keep you more satiated and energized throughout the morning," explains Maddie Pasquariello, M.S., R.D.N. “Some high-protein cereals [might also be] higher in fiber, lower in sugar, and/or made with more natural flavors and colors compared to their traditional cereal counterparts." This can be especially helpful if you plan to work out after breakfast or often feel ravenous by lunchtime.
With the help of dietitians, we did the research to find the best high-protein cereals based on different goals and preferences.
