Kellogg's Crispix, a sweetened, multi-grain combination of crispy rice and crunchy corn, has surprisingly few ingredients and a somewhat low amount of sugar compared to other Kellogg's cereals. According to the Kellogg's website, Crispix also stays crunchy in milk, which is a plus for people who hate soggy cereal. Similar to most Kellogg's cereals, Crispix is fortified with 12 essential vitamins and minerals. This cereal is also free of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives.

Recommendations
It's recommended that you get 14 grams of dietary fiber daily, per 1,000 calories consumed, notes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When choosing cereals, it's best to choose one that is high in fiber with little to no added sugars. When you look at the ingredient list, the closer sugar is to the top of the ingredient list, the more sugar is in the cereal.
