10 Best Gluten-Free Cereals | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

Balancing a sense of fun with nutrition, Mesa Sunrise Cereal by Natures Path is a breakfast choice that everyone is sure to love.Considered to be the UK's number one gluten-free cereal, it just had to be our first choice too.

Slightly higher in sugar than some of the others on our list, it's still significantly less sugary than regular cereals. That's because it's made using healthier, better quality and high fibre ingredients such as ancient grains. Just watch out because it's very moreish!

These gluten-free wholegrain oats have been mixed with sweet apricots, dates, raisins and seeds, to create a muesli full of nutrition and flavour. Whether you decide to eat these fruity oats hot or cold, you are always guaranteed a creamy and juicy taste.

Additionally, the oats and barley used are sourced from local British farmers meaning that you can be ensured that you are getting high quality muesli. Since oats are full of complex carbohydrates, eating these will keep you feeling energised for longer. It is also worth noting that there are no added sugars, salt, or fat! 

Sweet and sugary cereals aren't for everyone. So if you're looking for a traditional, fibre rich and health-giving choice, these Free From bran flakes from Tesco will definitely do the trick.

Silver winner of the 2020 Free From Food Awards, it's a trustworthy option for coeliacs that provides all the taste and crunch of regular bran flakes, just without the gluten. Fortified with plenty of vitamins, minerals and iron — it'll have you feeling on top of the world!

Coming in a cheerfully designed box, these Golden Organic Corn Flakes by Whole Earth are divine! They are low in sugar and fat and a source of fibre, making for a wholesome breakfast that can be enjoyed day to day.

Alternative versions of the classic cornflakes don't always cut it, but we can safely say Whole Earth's offering is superior to the standard version. Splash over with cold milk and  some seasonal berries, or a sliced banana, for a great start to your morning!

Eat Natural have a wide range of breakfast bars and granola options, but the Buckwheat & Honey is by far our favourite of their gluten-free products. That's because it's made from 27% seeds, with no refined sugars and nothing artificial.

This wholesome blend of oats, seeds, coconut, honey and buckwheat is high in fibre and super satisfying. It feels really good for you, and although the honey is sweet enough, there is room to add a little more sweetness by adding some fruit if you want to.

For those who like their cornflakes with a touch of honey, these GoFree Honey Flakes by Nestle are delicious and make for a great start to the day. Many have noted how although these cornflakes have a caramelised taste, they are not overwhelmingly sweet and stay crunchy even after adding milk!

Fortified with six different vitamins and minerals, as well as being a source of iron, they're not just tasty but relatively healthy too. Ideal for those following a gluten-free or kosher diet, Nestlé has done brilliantly, it's just as good as their regular cereal brands, if not better!

Looking for a gluten-free cereal that kids will love? Then you need to get your hands on these crunchy chocolate corn balls by Nature's Path. Using organic ingredients and fair trade cocoa powder, this chocolate cereal is not only super delicious but high in fibre. 

What is more, every time this box of cereal is purchased, Nature's Path donates a percentage of its sales to animal conservation efforts and global educational programmes. You'll be helping the environment and saving the animals as well as satisfying your stomach for the day ahead!

Waitrose's Free From range is an excellent option for those avoiding gluten. These pure jumbo oats make for a lovely porridge, and are equally as ideal for overnight oats or in an apple crumble.

Coming in a 1kg bag, these rolled porridge oats offer high quality at a very affordable price. What's more, when stored in a sealed container, in a cool, dry place, most oats can last from one to two years. Bargain!

One of two Nature's Path offerings on our list, their Organic Maple Sunrise Cereal is high in fibre, low in saturated fats and made in the USA from all-organic ingredients. Made using an irresistible blend of corn, rice, flax, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth and maple syrup — you'll look forward to breakfast in the morning!

Although this vegan and gluten-free cereal is absolutely delicious, it is very high in sugar at 23 g per 100 g of cereal. This makes it a better occasional choice, or one to be eaten at weekends.

If you need something quick for a busy day on the go, this cranberry and raisin instant porridge from MOMA might be for you. Made with British jumbo oats, it is high in fibre, a good source of protein and contains 48% of your recommended daily amount of beta-glucan.

This is an ideal last-minute breakfast choice on your way to work, or for those who truly don't have time to make porridge themselves in the morning. However, MOMA's single pots aren't great for the environment and work out more expensive than other options if you eat them every day.
