Sinking your spoon into a bowl of crunchy cereal with milk can be oh-so-satisfying. But most traditional cereal options on the market aren't exactly the healthiest...that is, until now. Plenty of brands are offering healthy cereals that taste delicious and offer a number of nutritious benefits (whole grains! probiotics! protein!). Below, some of the best cereals to choose from, which have no more than 4 grams of added sugar and a number of nutrient-rich ingredients. Serve them up with your milk of choice, and enjoy.

Nature's Path Heritage Flakes

For the classic flake texture, in a much healthier package, this cereal is a winner. It features ancient grains—including kamut, wheat, oats, barley, spelt, millet, and quinoa—all rolled into a satisfying, crunchy flake.
