#15: Fruit-Flavored Breakfast Cereal
Bright colors and pictures of fruit can make fruit-flavored cereal seem like a cheerful morning choice. Yet the flavor often comes from sugar, syrups, dyes, or artificial ingredients rather than meaningful amounts of real fruit.

These cereals are commonly low in fiber and protein, making it easy to eat a large bowl without feeling full. After 50, choose a whole-grain cereal with little added sugar. Add sliced strawberries, blueberries, or banana to provide genuine fruit flavor, fiber, and natural sweetness.
