![Keto Cereal?! Best 19+ Low Carb Keto Cereal Brands! [2021]](https://convenientketo.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/low_carb_keto_cereal.png)
Keto cereal kind of sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, it’s not!
The first trick is to replace your normal grains like corn, wheat, and oats with their naturally low carb counterparts: nuts and seeds.
[But what if you don’t tolerate nuts and seeds very well? Skip ahead to our section on nut-free low carb cereals]
Secondly, commercially available cereal tends to be overly sweet. Thus, we’ll need to reduce the sugar content, either by subbing in alternative sweeteners or drastically lowering the quantity of sugar used.
It’s going to be tough to get away from sweetness completely. Otherwise, you’d essentially be eating nuts and seeds!
So don’t be surprised to see some sugar content in these keto cereal brands. However, they are not going to be remotely as sugar-laden as regular cereal.
The Paleo Effect
You’ll notice that many of the keto breakfast cereal varieties in our list are catered towards the Paleo crowd. That’s not a coincidence.
We mentioned above the need to reduce the number of carbohydrates from grains. Well, fortunately, Paleo strictly shuns grains in food.
We figure that Paleo companies focused on crafting these grain-free alternative cereals to be Paleo-friendly, but they just so happened to turn out more keto-friendly as well.
Either way, we get more keto cereal alternatives to choose from, so we’re not complaining!
Smaller Serving Sizes
Most of the serving sizes in this category are around 28g, which translates to about 1/4 to 1/3 cup. Honestly, that doesn’t look like a lot once you measure out the amount and pour it into a bowl.
But remember that these keto breakfast cereals are nut-based rather than grain-based. In addition to being low carb, nuts and seeds are nutrient-dense and packed with much more fat and protein than grains.
That means you should feel more satiated eating keto cereal versus consuming the equivalent amount in say, Corn Flakes.
Don’t forget about milk!
While you can certainly eat keto cereal on its own, most people will want to add some cold milk into the mix. The good news is that you can definitely do that!
The “bad” news? We’ve explained in a separate post why dairy milk specifically is not keto-friendly. However, we also provide you with a bunch of the best keto milk alternatives out there.
Our favorite milk alternative for keto cereal?
Another option is So Delicious Unsweetened Vanilla Coconutmilk which has only 1g net carb per serving. We like this brand because it doesn’t inject any coconut flavor into your cereal.
Furthermore, coconut milk contains MCTs, which are amazing for both keto and your health in general. Plus, the coconut content gives it a little more fattiness and the unsweetened vanilla provides a nice bit of rich, complementary flavor.
A way to fulfill your cravings
Cereal is a breakfast favorite for many and one of the top categories that people ask us about. You’ll definitely find something on our keto cereal list that will satisfy your cereal cravings. With the lower net carb cereal products at the top of our list, you can easily make keto cereal a breakfast staple in your diet.
Of course with cereal especially, you can easily go overboard on portions without realizing it. As such, we suggest enjoying keto cereal in moderation, remembering that these low carb versions are more calorie-dense than typical cereals. You really can become full from smaller portions.
Now, check out our list of uber tasty keto friendly cereal brands, below!

#1 SOLA Granola
In fact, Sola is so low carb and keto friendly they even write the net carbs on the front of the packaging!
What sets Sola apart is that they truly take their time to make sure their products taste amazing.
As a result, Sola Granola actually has the texture and density of traditional cereal. That means it’s crispy and does not clump like most granola products. Think Rice Krispies meets granola.
We love all of the flavors and you won’t go wrong choosing any of them.
Plus, as of 2020, Sola has shifted their granola line of products to use allulose rather than a proprietary blend of sweeteners that included maltitol. We love this decision to move away from maltitol, since maltitol has an effect on blood sugar and allulose does not.
This change puts Sola back in our top spot for keto cereals.
Here’s a video review we did of Sola’s keto granola:
Click here to check out the entire line of Sola products on Amazon
Sola Granola Flavors [Serving Size = 30g snack (1/3 cup) or 60g bowl (2/3 cup)]:
- Strawberry Vanilla (2g net carbs per serving / 4g net carbs per bowl)
- Seriously tastes just like the outside of a Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream bar! With some rich, creamy Milkadamia Vanilla Unsweetned Macadamia Milk, this is as decadent a breakfast cereal as you can find.
- Vanilla Almond
(1g net carbs per serving / 4g net carbs per bowl )
- The toasted coconut flavor really comes through here. It has a very balanced vanilla/coconut/almond flavor. It’s the lowest carb flavor and a favorite in our household
- Double Chocolate
(2g net carbs per serving / 5g net carbs per bowl)
- This is a great keto breakfast cereal that tastes like Cocoa Krispies! It’s not going to disappoint all you chocolate lovers out there!
- Maple Pecan Chocolate
(1g net carbs per serving / 4g net carbs per bowl)
- The name does this flavor justice. It’s pretty crunchy, with various seeds like pumpkin seeds. Otherwise, it’s really decadent with the maple flavoring combined with pecan and soft chocolate chips.
- Blueberry Cinnamon (2g net carbs per serving / 4g net carbs per bowl)
- If you’ve ever had Nature’s Path Blueberry Cinnamon Flax cereal, this tastes just like that. They do not skimp on the cinnamon, so you get a really pronounced cinnamon flavor that complements the blueberry perfectly.
By the way: See where Sola landed in our list of low carb bread [review], as well as the top low carb breakfast bars [review].
#2 HighKey Keto Granola
The sweetness comes for erythritol and monk fruit extract. We also appreciate that there are no fake added fibers. All the fiber you see is from the nuts and seeds.
Additionally, we are happy to see that there’s no milk or whey protein concentrate, but rather collagen, which may be less inflammatory.
Another huge bonus is that it’s made with organic unrefined virgin coconut oil, whereas most of these use less desirable oils like sunflower oil.
These come in 2 flavors currently (both 2g net carbs):
#3 Livlo Keto Nut Granola / Granolo Keto Granola
Livlo Foods is a new entrant into the keto granola market. It’s another gluten-free, grain-free option that is based on nuts and seeds. The great part about Livlo Keto Nut Granola is that there are no added proteins at all (so there’s no collagen or whey/milk protein). That also means this is one of the few options that is completely vegan friendly, completely plant-based protein.
Again, we appreciate that coconut oil is used rather than less desirable vegetable oils.
Overall, this is a super clean keto option that comes in at only 2g net carbs per serving, as it’s sweetened with erythritol and monk fruit extract.
#4 The Granola Bakery Macadamia Nut Crunch
We’re not ones to hide our love affair with macadamia nuts, so the fact that they are the number one ingredient in The Granola Bakery Macadamia Nut Crunch
isn’t a surprise.Note: If the bag looks familiar, The Granola Bakery is a re-brand from the brand “Elan”.The nuts team up with coconut flakes, sunflower, and flax seeds to give a satisfying, crunchy texture. Everything is bound together with some coconut oil and only barely sweetened. The tastes and texture balance out perfectly.
This pairs extremely well with some macadamia nut milk.
- 2g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- A hint of sweetness via 1g maple syrup per 30g serving
- 19g of fat about 16g of which are saturated or monounsaturated. Really great fat source, mostly from the macadamia nuts themselves!
- Almost USDA Organic– just the macadamia nuts are conventionally grown, but everything else is organically sourced.
This stuff is very natural, and the maple syrup (as you’d expect) adds a nice bit of sweetness. It is heavy on macadamia nuts, so think of this is stuff kind of like candy-crusted macadamia nuts.
#5 Diabetic Kitchen Cinnamon Pecan Granola Cereal
There is a very distinct Cinnamon and pecan flavor in this granola cereal. To give you a better idea, the keto cereal is sweetened mainly with chicory root fiber (inulin) as well as a touch of stevia leaf and monk fruit extracts. However, there is actually more cinnamon than stevia and monk fruit! There is a bitter aftertaste from the stevia which you can compound if you add a little stevia to the milk substitute you use.
The texture is great and mostly consists of nuts and seeds, but they also throw in a small amount of puffed brown rice to get that familiar cereal texture.
Overall, this is a very tasty, natural choice with no sugar alcohols to be found. Definitely worth a try at only 3g net carb per 31g or about 2.7 net carbs per 28g.
NEW FLAVOR:
- 4g net carb, 14g fat
- Sliced Almonds, Diced Almonds, Hulled Hemp Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Chicory Root Fiber, Almond Butter, Water, Unsweetened Coconut Chips (Coconut, sodium metabisulite), Puffed Brown Rice, Natural Flavor, Sea Salt, Cinnamon, Monk Fruit Extract, Organic Stevia Extract (leaf)
#6/7 Low Karb Keto Nut Granola / Snaxly
Another great low carb cereal granola option on the market! Nutty and fatty using two keto-friendly sweeteners: Erythritol and Monk Fruit. Great for the more “clean” keto crowd. Some people who love sweeter cereals will need to add a little sweetness to their keto milk substitute but overall great taste and crunchiness AND SUPER LOW CARB!
- Traditional
- 2g net carb, 18g fat
- Almonds, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Coconut Chips, Pecans, Erythritol, Monk Fruit, Butter, Cinnamon
- Blueberry
- 3g net carb, 16g fat
- Almonds, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Coconut Chips, Pecans, Erythritol, Monk Fruit, Butter, Blueberries, Cinnamon
NOTE: If you come across the Snaxly Keto Nut Granola on Amazon, Snaxly is essentially the same exact product as Low Karb just under a different brand name. So, you can choose whichever one has a better price or ships quicker for you at the time of purchase.
#8 The Granola Bakery – Low Carb Paleo Granola Cereal
We’re already big fans of this brand and this low carb cereal is a fantastic part of their product selection. The Paleo Mix
Because of that, you get a lot more varied of a texture, but you also increase the net carbs by 2g per serving (thanks to good ol’ cashews and their natural sugars!).
- 4g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- 15g of fat, 5g saturated, 4g PUFA, 6g MUFA
- 1g of maple syrup per 30g serving
UPDATE: The Granola Bakery also now has a Keto Dark Chocolate cereal they recently came out with. Just as good as their other flavors so you won’t be disappointed!
Includes:
- 4g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- 16g of fat, 6g saturated, 3g PUFA, 6g MUFA
- 2g of maple syrup per 30g serving
- Ingredients: Almonds, Dried Coconut, Sunflower Seeds, Maple Syrup, Ground Cacao Beans, Macadamia Nuts, Hazelnuts, Ground Flaxseed, Coconut Oil, Grey Sea Salt.
#9 Fla Keto Nut Granola
Fla Keto Nut Granola follows the standard formula for nuts and seeds. These aren’t made into big clusters, so it’s more like a trail mix, if that’s what you’re looking for. This is similar to the Diabetic Kitchen cereal we’ve also reviewed. The sweetener is erythritol with a touch of stevia at the end.
If you like dark chocolate chips, they have a Chocolate Chips flavor that also has cocoa powder which may hit that chocolate cereal craving for you
Fla’s Keto Nut Granola comes in 2 flavors, both 2g net carbs per serving.
#10 PaleoKrunch Grainless Cereal
It is not as crunchy as normal granola but it has very good flavor and also amazing, non-GMO ingredients!
There is a good amount of fat per serving so if you pair it with Milkadamia Macadamia Milk, you will stay full for hours.
- The Original
- Around 5g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- 6.5g fat (3g saturated)
- 3g sugar via honey
- Almonds, Shredded Coconut, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Coconut Oil, Honey, Vanilla Extract.
- Cinnamon
- Around 5g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- 6.5g fat (3g saturated)
- 3 sugar via honey
- Almonds, Shredded Coconut, Pumpkin Seeds, Walnuts, Pecans, Sunflower Seeds, Coconut Oil, Honey, Cinnamon
#11 KitchFix Grain-Free Granola
The flavors are extremely well-balanced and the texture nice and crunchy. The little pieces of dried berries add a very nice touch, as well.
- Cocoa Sea Salt
- 5g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- Honey Pecan
- 6g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- Only 3g sugar (maple syrup and sugar from dried fruits)
- Around 15g fat (4g saturated)
Bonus Breakfast Idea: Kitchfix sells some really great frozen Paleo Waffles which have only 4g net carbs per waffle. And, of course, they taste great!
Here’s the store locator for Kitchfix to see if they have them nearby to pick up.
And top it off with our favorite no-calorie sweetener, Smucker’s Sugar-Free Breakfast Syrup
#12 General Nature Low Carb Granola Cereal
The main differentiator is that General Nature’s version does not include monk fruit as a sweetener and also contains a higher percentage of rice puffs. That means the texture has more of that crispy rice texture than Diabetic Kitchen’s.
Also adding to the carb count is a touch of honey. You can’t replicate real honey flavor, so that really injects a little bit of Honey Bunches of Oats style flavor
That also means there are more carbs in General Nature’s version, specifically 4g net carbs per 25g serving or 4.5g net carbs per 28g serving. Overall, however, this cereal is still low in net carbohydrates.
#13 Paleonola Grain-Free Granola
Grain-free granola company Paleonola makes some really delicious granola.
The picture above is of their delectable Apple Pie Granola
Let it soak a little bit in your milk alternative to infuse the apple flavor.
- The Original
- 5g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- Apple Pie
- 5g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- 4g sugar via honey
- 15g of fat (only 3.5g of which is saturated)
#14 Bubba’s Fine Foods Grain-Free UnGranola
Bubba’s Uber Chocolate Ungranola
We love to use it as a keto breakfast cereal but it is really a great stand-alone granola. Now, I say that because a true granola, in my opinion, should get your mouth tired from chewing– and this really does!
That means this works really well as a yogurt topper, like the 3g net carb Kalona Supernatural yogurt. (Call your local natural food stores to ask for availability).
- Uber Chocolate
- 6g net carbs per 1/3 cup
- 13g fat (7g saturated)
- 5g sugar via honey
Nut Free Keto Cereal Options
For those of you with nut allergies or intolerances, the following low carb cereal options are some great options for you.
#1 HighKey Protein Cereal
HighKey’s protein cereal is your best option for a Rice Krispies style keto cereal. They nailed the texture– they really have that crunch like Rice Krispies (and make great Rice Krispies treats, too!).
Flavors
Pro-Tip: As always, for all your HighKey orders, you get 10% off with code CONVENIENTKETO10
Check out our video review of HighKey for all the details and to see that texture up close and personal:
Ingredients Example (Cocoa): Milk Protein Isolate, Erythritol, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Inulin, Allulose, Cocoa Powder with Potassium Carbonate, Natural Flavors, Natural Caramel Color, Sunflower Lecithin, Salt, Monk Fruit Extract
#2 Magic Spoon
Magic Spoon is another nut-free keto cereal option. It’s filling the Cheerios style keto cereal niche. Because they use a sweetener blend of monk fruit, stevia and allulose, the sweetness is really balanced and longer-lasting on your taste buds.
Comes in the following flavors:
- Peanut Butter
- Fruity
- Cocoa
- Cinnamon
- Blueberry
- Frosted
For all the juicy details, check out our video review:
Ingredients Example: Whey Protein Isolate/Milk Protein Isolate, Monk Fruit/Stevia/Allulose, High-oleic Sunflower Oil, Tapioca Starch, Inulin, Cocoa Powder, Natural Flavors, Berry Powder, Salt, Turmeric Extract, Spirulina Extract, Vegetable Juice.
#3 Cereal School
Cereal School is aimed toward the classic nostalgic kid’s cereal crowd. They are shaped like Kix or Corn Pops cereals.
- Very crunchy! Amazing cereal texture. You won’t be disappointed with the texture.
- Sweetened only with monk fruit.
- It has a very sweet initial flavor, but the sweetness quickly fades. We recommend sweetening your milk alternative with stevia or some other low glycemic sweetener.
- No nuts or seeds!
- Contains 16g of protein per serving and only 1g of total carb! Each serving is about the size of one of those
- Come in mini cereal boxes.
- Since these are high in protein, they may have a bit of a protein-bar type of aftertaste
Flavors:
- NEW! Peanut Butter – like Reese’s Puffs
- Fruity
- The smell and flavor is spot-on with your classic Fruit Loops or Fruity Pebbles!
- Cinnamon Bun
- Tastes like a cinnamon bun-flavored protein bar.
Currently mainly sold on their website and Amazon.
Looking for Keto Oatmeal?

#2 Pure Traditions Unsweetened Hot Cereal 
But because it isn’t sweetened we think this is one of the better keto oatmeals to add keto friendly fruits like blackberries or raspberries to. You can also add swerve’s brown sugar
Ingredients: Organic Coconut, Almond, Pecan, Organic Chia Seed, Organic Flaxseed, Konjac Root, Organic Cinnamon, Salt
Have you tried any of the low carb cereal options on our list?
Let us know in the comments section below!
[…] Keto Friendly Cereal and Keto Milk Alternatives […]
The top option should really not be the top option, if you really look at the ingredients, they don’t look that good:
Almonds (awesome, good start)
soy crisp (Soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt) (seems ok)
sunflower seeds (cool)
pumpkin seeds (cool)
erythritol (note: 1st sweetener)
sunflower oil (not the best oil, and you’re getting this oil in the highest quantity)
chocolate chip (cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter) (ok, cool)
water
tagatose (I read the ingredient labels for literally EVERYTHING I eat, and I’ve never yet seen this)
pecans (awesome)
maltitol (I’ve also never seen this)
coconut (awesome)
natural maple flavor with other natural flavors, natural flavors (wow wtf more sweeteners and flavorings…)
flax meal (cool)
sea salt (ok)
monk fruit extract (hey a 3rd sweetener!)
xanthan gum (not ideal, not necessary)
stevia leaf extract (wow the 4th sweetener!!)
However you did a good job overall making this list. I found some of the best cereals from your list. ELAN cereals are awesome! Kitchfix is really impressive too. It’s funny how both these other 2 cereals literally just _added some maple syrup or honey_ and still have an incredibly good ratio of macronutrients. PaleoNola is good too, Wildway is good on occasion for a slightly higher carb option.
Thank you very much for this list, even if it wasn’t perfect! You’re helping me, my girl, and everyone else in my life do keto!
Hey Devin! Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. It’s great to see people who really care about what they consume– and even more so for children. Kudos!
There are definitely more ingredients in Sola’s granola than we normally like to see. We tend to weigh the many facets of the foods we eat, like source, quality, taste, value, etc. And we do love Elan’s stuff. Most of their products are simple and very tasty and we keep their stuff stocked in the house at all times. In this case, as far as cereals go, we think Sola is the better cereal overall.
They have a great variety of flavors that are all low carb. We did consider the soy, but that soy protein is what’s used to make those “rice krispies”. And really, that’s what makes their granola/cereal shine. The Sola granola was able to pass the kid test as well (with flying colors). Coconut milk + Sola is an addicting combo!
You can’t really go wrong with any of the options on the list. We try to list out all the foods we’ve found and tried in hopes that someone can find a product that will keep them going strong on their respective diets. We also are continually searching for new products and our ratings change all the time. In fact, we just found Sola cereals in store this very week! So who knows, maybe our rankings may change in the future 🙂
Cheers!
Thanh
[By the way, that tagatose that you had never heard of is actually the 5th sweetener. It’s similar to allulose, which is utilized in some of Quest’s products. I’m honestly not sure why they used such a variegated mix of sweeteners but the taste is very well balanced (and not overly sweet). I honestly think erythritol does the heavy lifting here, as it does in a lot of low carb products.]
Thanks again Thanh for the list 🙂
I recently got my results back from DNAFit, and found out I have a really great tolerance for carbs. In celebration of this newfound fact, I have found out how sleepy carbs(sweets) can make me. Since I struggle with sleep, I’ve discovered that one of my favorite past times, a late night donut, is actually really really good at putting me to sleep. Of course, for a litany of other reasons its bad for me. So while my GF will enjoy the macadamia nut crunch anytime and I may enjoy it in the morning, I’m on the hunt for a really healthy organic non-gmo gluten free cereal that actually has some carbs and is also high in protein… Although I may just try and figure out a good pancake recipe by combining various flours.. definitely whey protein since it spikes insulin, and then something else like maybe amaranth, chia, and coconut flour.. and then I’ll add a splash of organic apple cider and sprinkling of coconut palm sugar… yeah… that might work 😉
There’s lots of great cereals out there that are gluten free and high in protein, but they almost all have corn as a main ingredient
Also for some reason I was not notified of your reply comment, and I see all my emails, and it wasn’t in the spam folder 🙁 Facebook comments plugin might be worth considering, or disqus
Question my husband has colitis and diverticulitis diabetes etc in trying to find a keto friendly cereal for him that wont effect the digestive system
Hi April,
That’s a toughy. Based on https://www.healthline.com/health/diverticulitis-diet-list-of-foods-to-avoid#foods-to-avoid it looks like you can still eat nuts/seeds. Since most of these low carb cereals are nut-based, that’s a good thing.
I would try almond milk that is unsweetened with the Diabetic Kitchen Cinnamon Pecan Granola Cereal since it doesn’t have any sugar alcohols.
I am so sorry to contradict what you are saying about the Diverticulitis. I have had Diverticulitis for almost 40 years. You can not eat coconut, tomato skins, corn, nuts, seeds etcetera. Highly indigestible. I started using the coconut and almond flour and it is working out great. The almond butter is awesome. I am really having a hard time finding a breakfast cereal. Most have nuts and garbage in them. I am desperate for a find. Please note that I’ve had a very sensible diet for many years and do not suffer with bouts of Diverticulitis. Not willing to try the poison. Still looking.
No need to be sorry about being contradictory. It’s all about starting a discussion, right?
I don’t have any personal experience with diverticulitis, so I was relying on some medical literature I found. If you’re not amenable to nuts and seeds and are looking for low carb cereals, we have not yet come across any low carb cereals that don’t substitute nuts and seeds for the grains. We’ll keep an eye out and update this post if we find anything. Perhaps you can eat moderate amounts of regular cereal and just cut carbs in the other areas of your diet in the meantime.
Cheers,
Thanh

Great article, and just what I was looking for, cereal! I’ve been on the Keto way of life for just over a month, feeling great but still have cravings for carbs. The fellow above stated carbs make him sleepy, well carbs also make me sluggish/sleepy too, or I crash hard even if it’s a healthier carb. so that was also interesting to read. Thank you for this article and I will be definitely trying out some of those cereals mentioned🙏🏼👍😀
Awesome! Glad the cereal info was helpful. We find more all the time too, so keep checking back! For the cravings, not sure if it it’s your case, but we’ve found that a lot of that is due to sugar cravings. Luckily that should definitely get better over time as you become less dependent on that quick energy source. Cheers!
Do you have any thoughts on Magic Spoon cereal?
Hi Meg,
Here you go! https://convenientketo.net/keto-cookies-and-cream-chocolate-bites-recipe/
Hope you like it!
~Sonja
Hi Meg,
We actually did try Magic Spoon and did a YouTube review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQJ4sInf6Zo
We’ll get it up on the website, but basically it’s pretty pricey though tastes pretty good. If you need cereal and especially can’t handle the nut-based alternatives, it’s probably your best option. The whey protein does spike your insulin which inhibits ketosis, so be aware of that. It’s high protein though not as much as Cereal School because it is mixed with tapioca flour, whereas Cereal School is all protein.
Hope that helps!
Thanh
Hi Meg,
We do have a review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQJ4sInf6Zo
It’s pretty good and probably one of the best options for those looking for a nut-free alternative. It is pricey and the protein levels are high (like Cereal School, but a little less). That means the whey protein will spike your insulin, lowering ketosis, so just be aware. If you’re comfortable with the tapioca flour that’s in Magic Spoon, you might want to take a look at Catalina Crunch as well, which has plant-based protein.
Hope that helps!
Thanh
Thanks for replying back and for the video! So whey protein (Magic spoon) spikes insulin more as compared to the milk protein (found in the cereal school)? or is it the tapioca ingredient that would spike it?
This is a great list. Its awesome how far everything has come to really help us stay on the keto diet.
I agree! Glad this helped! We have some more reviews coming up as well, so stay tuned 🙂
