Cheeky Nibble (cereals that taste like dessert)
Cheeky Nibble is a wonderful brand of vegan granolas, a bit expensive but that’s because they are artisan-made, allergen-friendly, free from palm oil and sold in sustainable packaging. They also taste like dessert, so it’s like eating healthy cake for breakfast, and are absolutely delicious.
Recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if your council does not recycle. Keep these cereals away from young children and pets due to nuts, dried fruits, chocolate etc. Read more on food safety for people and pets.
The founder created the brand as she has autism and Tourettes Syndrome and found that baking helped her anxiety. She also finds exercise helpful, so she combined her two passions to bake granolas that were chunky enough to take with her to the gym, yet had nostalgic flavours.
The granola is sold in boxes that are carbon-balanced with World Land’s Trust, so you can eat your breakfast with a clear conscience. The flavours include:
- Cherry Bakewell
- Victoria sponge
- Banoffee Pie
- Vanilla latte
How to choose a healthy breakfast cereal
You don’t have to be a saint if you like a bit more sugar (and you can always bulk up fibre later on in the day). But an easy way to check if a cereal is healthy or not is to look at the nutrition box. By 100g, it should have over 5g of fibre and less than 5 of sugar (in the carbs section).
The best-selling brand of cornflakes has just 3g of fibre. You’d be better off eating an apple. The same brand’s cocoa pops up the sugar to 17g and their most sugary cereal (advertised by a tiger) is a whopping 37g sugar. No wonder children’s teeth are rotting.
