Low-Sugar Raisin Bran Alternatives

by Raisin Bran — 9g added sugar, 18g total / 1 Cup (59 g), manufacturer label

Kellogg's Raisin Bran has 9g of added sugar and 18g of total sugar in a 1-cup (59g) serving, per WK Kellogg's SmartLabel. About half of that sugar comes from the raisins and doesn't count as added. The other 9g comes from sugar and brown sugar syrup on the flakes, which is 36% of the American Heart Association's 25g daily added-sugar limit for kids. The lowest-sugar raisin bran is one you mix yourself: plain bran or wheat flakes with a small handful of raisins stirred in, so the sweetness comes only from fruit. The cereals below are the lowest-added-sugar picks in our catalog. They aren't raisin bran copies, so check taste and texture before switching.
