How healthy is weetabix?

29th April 2025

Not all cereals are created equal, but is Weetabix healthy? As we’ll discover, this is one breakfast cereal your body will thank you for.

Is Weetabix a healthy breakfast?

Weetabix is low in fat, high in fibre and fortified with iron. In fact, Weetabix cereals like Weetabix Original, Weetabix Protein and Ready Brek have an all-green ‘traffic light’ label, which means they are considered low in fat, saturates, sugars and salt. Grab a spoon and try for yourself!

What makes Weetabix healthy?

When it comes to healthy meals, the proof is in the pudding (and the breakfast). Here’s why we believe Weetabix is good for you.

  • Fortified with nutrients. Weetabix contains iron, which helps with children’s brain development, and vitamins like niacin and riboflavin, which help us get energy from our food.
  • Packed with goodness. Weetabix is low in sugar and salt. And of course, eating breakfast cereals that are high in fibre helps with our digestion.
  • A low fat food. Compared with less healthy breakfast options, Weetabix is a reassuringly low saturated fat food. 

Add toppings to make Weetabix even healthier

While Weetabix alone is a healthy breakfast option, for many people, it doesn’t end there. Here are some of the ways you can transform a lonely bowl of Weetabix into something super delicious.

  • Add banana and cashews to create a Pitch Perfect Protein Bowl. 
  • Whip up a quick and easy Kick-Start Bowl with strawberries, kiwis and almond butter.
  • Get creative with your toppings – from sliced pear to sprinkled pumpkin seeds.

How many calories are in Weetabix?

A serving of Weetabix (two biscuits) provides 136 calories. This equates to 362 calories per 100g. The short answer: Weetabix can play an important part in a healthy, balanced diet.

Other ways to enjoy a healthy breakfast 

Let’s face it – that sausage bap with a cup of tea isn’t going to win any healthy recipe awards. Luckily, there are many ways you can enjoy a healthy and tasty breakfast with Weetabix front and centre. 

  • Top Form Bowl. When two dollops of Greek yoghurt meet a handful of blueberries, delicious things happen.
  • Layer-a-Bix. A fruit sensation where crushed Weetabix meets mouth-watering banana, pear, kiwi and mango.
  • Smash-A-Bix. Leave the bread on the shelf and serve smashed avo and eggs on a bed of Weetabix! (Add chorizo for a not-so-healthy lunch).
