'Cereously Healthy' is the name of a healthy cereal line from Joice that celebrates [ancient grains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brand-wheat) as main ingredients. The richly textured cereals feature quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat as a hearty base, alongside nuts, berries and raisins to add further flavor and crunch.

Although [heritage grains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amaranth-biscuits) can often be found in dinner kits, these grains are not often thought of as breakfast foods, even though they can be used to complement more than just savory flavors.

In the collection of five [healthy cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multigrain-flakes), there is also one variety that is specifically for children that stands out with a boldly colored box. In order to make mornings feel a little bit more exciting, Joice included in-box activities such as stories and animal figures for kids to cut out and play with.
