Cereal: Kellogg's Chocos Fills Caramel FlavourThis is a highly processed snack, essentially a dessert in cereal form. While it might appeal to kids, it's not a good choice for regular consumption due to its high sugar content and low nutritional value.
Few nutritional benefits.
Concerns:
1. High in Added Sugar (30.1g per 100g, 9g per 30g serving): This product is nearly one-third sugar. The caramel crème filling lists sugar as its first ingredient, followed by palm olein, and then more sugar. This will cause significant blood sugar spikes, leading to energy crashes and potentially affecting concentration, especially in children.
2. Processed Fats: The use of palm olein and anhydrous milk fat in the filling are less ideal fat sources compared to whole food fats. Palm olein is high in saturated fat.
3. Low Fiber: Despite being multigrain, the fiber content (5.5g per 100g) is low for a grain-based product, which means it won't help buffer the sugar impact or promote satiety.
For a convenient breakfast or snack, look for cereals with whole grains as the first ingredient, less than 5g of added sugar per serving, and at least 3g of fiber. Brands like Kellogg's All-Bran or certain plain oat cereals are much better options. You can add natural sweetness with fruit.
