## The benefits of Nestlé Cereal ingredients
There are many ways to include Nestlé cereals as part of your morning breakfast. Between 2010 and 2020, we have been on a journey to make sure our cereal products and recipes make breakfast even better. That means, we have been working on increasing [whole grain](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/nutrition/whole-grain-cereal) and [fibre](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/nutrition/what-is-fibre), whilst making sure to reduce their [sugar and salt content](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/our-promises/better-food/more-choice-less-worry).
All of our Nestlé cereals which carry a [Green banner](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/our-promises/better-food/look-for-green-banner) have whole grain as the number one ingredient. Many Nestlé breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals, too. [Find out more about fortified cereals](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/nutrition/fortified-cereal). Combining your favourite breakfast cereal with different toppings and fruit, or using them in recipes is a great way to add some excitement to your breakfast.
