The Best Low Carb Keto Cereals
If you’re on a keto diet, it’s likely you know just how hard it can be to find a low carb breakfast, especially when on the go! Most quick, on the go breakfasts such as cereal, cereal bars, bagels and pastries are carb heavy. However, there are some great keto friendly options available to have for breakfast, and keto cereals are one of them.
However, it’s not just the cereal that can be heavy with carbs. Adding milk to your cereal can also increase your carb intake. For example, the recommended serving of cow’s milk for a bowl of cereal is 180ml, which contains around 9g of carbs. This is half the daily recommended amount of net carbs during a keto diet. As a result, we recommend looking at milk alternatives that have a lower amount of net carbs to pair with your low carb cereal. Good alternatives are unsweetened almond milk, which has only 1g of net carbs per 180ml.
Whilst it seems an unlikely thing to find, considering cereal by definition is a grain, which makes it high carb. However, there are some keto cereals on the market and we’ve have our top 5 picks for keto friendly cereals available in the UK.
