# Most Healthy Cereal ![Our Renovation Journey to Make Breakfast Better](/au/sites/g/files/qirczx966/files/styles/1_1_768px_width/public/2022-07/Renovation%20Journey_2.png.webp?h=114cab35&itok=w4Z6h3z4) We want to ensure that the cereals we create for families everywhere can be enjoyed as part of a healthy and balanced diet. That’s why, over the past 18 years, we’ve been on a journey to improve our recipes to make breakfast even better. We have worked on reformulating our product portfolio, focusing on increasing whole grain and fibre while significantly reducing sugar and salt. And doing so while keeping the same great taste that our customers love. ## What are breakfast cereals? There is a lot more to cereals than what meets the eye. Cereals are the starchy seeds of grass plants such as wheat, corn, barley, rye, millet, or rice. Breakfast cereals are made from these grains and are often [fortified ](/au/nutrition/fortified-cereal)with a range of essential vitamins and minerals to provide part of the necessary daily nourishment. ## THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF CEREALS Breakfast cereals are convenient and taste great. But there are even more reasons why we love them so much. Cereals come with nutritional benefits too. Here are a few ways they can improve your diet when adding them to your daily breakfast routine.

At Nestlé Breakfast Cereals we understand the role of whole grain as an important part of a varied, balanced diet. This is why all of our cereals carrying the Green Banner have a minimum 8g of whole grain per 30g serving. When you see the Green Banner, you can be sure that whole grain is the number one ingredient in that product. Reaping the nutritional benefits of cereal doesn’t have to be boring, that’s why we have so many delicious kinds of cereal on offer, for everyone.

At Nestlé Breakfast Cereals, our priority is to make cereals that are tasty and part of a balanced diet. Over the last 18 years, we have been working hard to improve our recipes, continually reformulating the recipes to increase the amount of whole grain, lowering salt and sugar, and removing artificial colours and flavours – while maintaining the great taste people love. The main ingredient across our cereal portfolio is whole grain, which brings nutritional benefits like fibre. ## How much of this reformulation or renovation work has been forced on you by governments? We’re very proud of our cereal products but we’re always looking for ways to further improve their nutritional profile. That's why we have spent the last 18 years on a reformulation journey across our product portfolio. Our teams have worked to create recipes with more whole grain and fibre, and less salt and sugar all, while keeping the same great taste our consumers love. Although many governments have recently brought in goals for sugar and salt reduction for all food manufacturers, we started this journey back in 2003.
