Mar­ket­ing man­ag­er Lant­man­nen Axa – the com­pa­ny with the most sig­nif­i­cant sales growth among break­fast cere­al brands in 2017 – Anna Zarit­skayashared her expert opin­ion on cere­al and mues­li:

“The advan­tage of any dry break­fast is the sim­plic­i­ty and speed of prepa­ra­tion.

Anoth­er plus can be con­sid­ered the absence of heat treat­ment — this allows break­fast to pre­serve vit­a­mins, min­er­als and oth­er use­ful sub­stances.

They are also dis­tin­guished by their diver­si­ty in prepa­ra­tion, as they can be served with milk, yogurt, sour­dough and kefir, as well as fruits, can­died fruits and nuts.

An impor­tant cri­te­ri­on for healthy flakes is also the absence of var­i­ous food addi­tives and non-nat­ur­al com­po­nents.

To com­ple­ment a healthy diet, a dry break­fast should con­tain grains and vit­a­mins.

A good exam­ple of a healthy break­fast is AHA Har­mo­ny is a mul­ti-grain cere­al enriched with min­er­als that does not con­tain sug­ar.”
