Organic Cereals
On this page, you will learn to find how to pick the healthiest cereal!
Conventional Cereals
❌Conventional cereals made with artificial sweeteners, preservatives, colorants, GMOs, fertilizers, pesticides, and processed food. They also contain Glyphosate: Glyphosate has cytotoxic (cell toxicity) effects in humans, it fills food with chemicals and depletes its nutrients, 300 million pounds of glyphosate are used in farms each year in the U.S. They are destroying our fields and crops depleting the soil of healthy and necessary nutrients for our food.
❌Refined sugars and highly processed sweeteners. High-potency sweeteners drive cravings and trick the body into having more.
Greenwashing Cereals
❌Cereal with” natural flavors”. They are manipulated in a lab, engineered to trick your body into eating more, by boosting “aromas or flavors”. “Natural” flavor Legally can contain up to 20 different undisclosed ingredients/chemicals/stuff.
❌Inflammatory oils: safflower oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oils, rapeseeds oil, and canola oil.
❌Refined grains. Grains like corn, and wheat, are commonly processed and refined carbohydrates can cause inflammation and weaken the immune system.
Organic and Healthier Cereals
When choosing cereals in the organic cereal department I avoid gluten, refined grains, inflammatory oils, “natural flavors, and refined sugar.
✅ USDA Certified Organic Cereals
✅ “natural flavors” -free
✅ Grain-free cereals are better options, such as those made with Cassava Root or Tapioca.
Organic Cassava Root is a better option. Unlike tapioca flour, cassava flour uses the entire root; so cassava keeps the fiber, protein, starch, vitamins, and minerals that would otherwise be lost in making tapioca flour.
It is a sustainable root vegetable, a good source of resistant starch and prebiotic fiber to control blood sugar, and is 33% more expensive than tapioca. Since whole-food cassava flour is made with entire roots, it keeps fiber, protein, starch, minerals, and nutrients vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate.
Like sweet potatoes, cassava can modify cholesterol profiles in humans. It supports gut health, blood sugar management, and heart health.
✅ Better Oils: organic coconut oil, avocado oil, and organic olive oil.
✅ Better sweeteners: organic raw honey, organic coconut sugar, organic dates, and organic maple syrup
✅ Here you can find cereals brands that meet my criteria of being free of high-inflammatory ingredients:
-
Certified Organic
-
Gluten-free
-
Grain-fee
-
Refined sugar-free
-
Made with no refined grains, no inflammatory oils
-
No natural or artificial flavors added

Low in natural sweeteners such as honey. I suggest trying the king of honey called Manuka Honey, you can find the approved brands here.
We want cereals that are full of gut health-boosting nutrition, to support immunity, and here are my favorite cereal brands made with approved, organic, nutrient-dense, whole foods ingredients.
✅ My number one brand recommendation is Lovebird Cereals
They are very strict with heavy metal testing, independently tested by Clean Label Project Purity Awards:
They rigorously test products for over 200 different contaminants including heavy metals, glyphosate, agrochemicals, plastics, and other toxins, and reward the products that meet their highest standard.
