Shop products for Cold Cereals 
Whether your preference is flakes, O s, or puffs, cold cereal is a traditional breakfast favourite.
America’s first breakfast cereal was introduced to the United States in 1895 by John Harvey Kellogg to help his clients boost their fibre intake. Over the years, cold cereals have become a breakfast favourite in the United States.
Varieties
Cold cereals come in flakes, puffs, Os, biscuits, and many other forms. They vary widely in nutritional value, from sugar-coated, brightly colored puffs to 100-percent wheat bran. Whole- and multigrain cereals, unsweetened or lightly sweetened with barley malt syrup or molasses, are generally the most nutritious. Read labels carefully: even so-called “healthy” granola may have 400 calories and more than 16 grams of fat in one serving.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Add a handful of high-fibre bran cereal to your favourite cold cereal. Top cereal with half a cup of berries, a small sliced peach, or half a banana. If you’re trying to increase your intake of soya, sprinkle some soya-based protein powder on cereal, or use soya milk instead of cows’ milk. Although best known as a breakfast food, cold cereal can be enjoyed in the afternoon or evening, too.
