When I was invited to the Goodness Superfood's breakfast launch yesterday morning, I thought simply that just another breakfast cereal had hit the supermarket shelves. But, I was pleasantly surprised by these breakfast cereals - Digestive 1st and Protein 1st - they not only have fantastic nutrition profiles, they also taste great!
Both breakfast cereals contain the wholegrain BARLEYmax - a new non-GM barley grain developed over the last 12 years by the CSIRO. BARLEYmax has all the health benefits of regular barley, but is higher in protein, healthy fats and fibre. In particular, BARLEYmax is high in a type of fibre called resistant starch. Resistant starch passes through the small intestine undigested and is fermented by the healthy bacteria in the bowel, improving digestive health and providing a range of health benefits.
Along with BARLEYmax, the cereals also contain soy, amaranth, honey and golden syrup, make them high in protein and fibre, low in added sugars, low in salt and low GI. I enjoyed Protein 1st with yoghurt, honey and fruit yesterday morning. It had delicious flavour, crunchy texture and kept me satisfied all morning. It's great to see a high protein product that also contains such high levels of fibre. These breakfast cereals are definitely worth adding to your shopping list.
