Hot Cereal & Oatmeal

Low carb hot cereal swaps the oats for a blend of nuts, seeds and fibre, so you get a warm bowl of porridge with a fraction of the carbohydrate. Preparation is about as easy as it gets: add hot water, stir, let it stand for a couple of minutes.

Right now this category is Sensato Sugar Free High Fiber Hot Cereal, which comes in Apple Cinnamon, Butter Pecan, Strawberrilicious, Vanilla Almond and a plain version you can flavour yourself. Each one is sweetened without sugar, so read the sweetener line if you have a preference between stevia and sugar alcohols, and check the fibre count, which is high enough that the net carbs land very low.

Top a bowl with berries, chopped pecans or a spoonful of nut butter. And if you'd rather pour something plant-based over it, our Creamers & Dairy Alternatives collection has unsweetened creamers and a coconut milk powder that works well here.
