Is Weet-Bix a good breakfast choice?

Sanitarium’s Weet-Bix™ is a great tasting, nutritious and affordable wholegrain breakfast cereal that’s been enjoyed by Kiwis for generations. It’s low in sugar, high in iron, high in fibre and a good source of B vitamins.

How do you do yours?

Two Weet-Bix with milk might be the way the traditionalists like to eat it – and that’s a good start! But these days the versatility of Weet-Bix plus its 5 Health Star Rating is why you’ll find a Weet-Bix product in almost half of all Australian homes.

Some of you like your Weet-Bix bowl high in protein by topping with Greek yoghurt, others like yours higher in fibre by adding fruit. The get-up-and-goers love their Weet-Bix blitzed in a smoothie, while the Tik-Tokers set theirs in the fridge overnight.

Energy to start your day

While diverse and unique, you each have a universal need for energy. Wholegrains supply quality carbohydrates, which is why we should aim for 48g of wholegrains daily. One bowl of Weet-Bix provides over 60% of your daily wholegrain needs and the energy you need to thrive.

Plus, research shows that eating breakfast cereal is one of the best days to start your day. Did you know that people those who eat breakfast cereal tend to have more nutritious diets overall compared to people who eat other types of breakfast or skip brekkie altogether?
