Common misconceptions

Myth: "Muesli is always a low-sugar breakfast"

It depends on the pack: fruit pieces, syrups and chocolate can add as much sugar as a coated cereal.

Myth: "Jaggery is sugar-free"

Jaggery is sugar; it counts towards the 8.5 g added.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA good everyday choice
  • ChildrenGood everyday choice
  • Diabetes or prediabetesA good cereal choice; pair with protein

Smarter ways to eat it

Add real protein

Stir in curd, a handful of nuts or seeds, or have an egg alongside; cereal and milk alone is a light breakfast.

Pour less, add fruit

A 30 g bowl is smaller than most people pour. Measure once, then add banana, berries or chopped apple for sweetness and fibre.
