So as you can see from the Ingredients in this bread, you are getting a lot of variety of whole grains for one thing. You are also getting a good amount of fiber in this 100% Whole Grain High Fiber bread. Each slice has 5 grams of fiber.
That is about 18% of the recommended dietary amount. It’s not hard to eat two slices, perhaps in a sandwich or just as toast. Do that and you are getting 10 grams of fiber, which is about 1/3 or more of the daily recommended fiber amount (daily dietary fiber is recommended at 25-38 grams).
How does this bread taste? I like it. It actually tastes pretty good. Like a 100% whole wheat bread. I find it just the tiniest bit on the dry side, but you have to take all that fiber into account.
This tasted quite good when I toasted it up, and ate with butter and marmalade.
It’s got no preservatives, and no additives. Seems pretty All Natural. I would buy it again.
(NEWS: May 2026) Was Out of Stock for weeks in my area (NY). I was told at the front desk they finally got shipments of it coming in. (Update-2 6/1/26) Back in Stock today, great! But they raised the price! Was $2.99 forever, now$3.29
NINE GRAMS OF FIBER PER SERVING.
ZERO CHOLESTEROL
High Fiber. Low Fat. Low Sodium…

Healthy Choice
Surely this is one of, if not the healthiest cereal options at Trader Joe’s you can buy. TJ’s HIGH FIBER CEREAL is an easy way to get more dietary Fiber into your diet. What’s not to like?
Taste? OK this may not win any taste awards, but you know what, I think it actuallytastes OK. In fact once I got used to it, I now even like the taste of this which I would call “natural” and “healthy” without it tasting like you are eating twigs (OK it does look like a bit like twigs)!
Anyway, you pick this cereal is primarily because you want to get more fiber in your daily diet and on that front is does deliver.
Trader Joe’s HIGH FIBER CEREAL has 9 grams of dietary fiber per serving (2/3 cup). That is about 1/3 of the recommended daily amount of fiber,
As the name implies the main idea of HIGH FIBER CEREAL is simple, to provide you with dietary Fiber. It does this mainly from all the different types of bran it has – wheat, corn, and oat bran. Bran is loaded with fiber and it is usually stripped out. Not here, they actually add back bran – in fact, 3 kinds of bran. Here’s the ingredient list….
Ingredients: wheatbran, corn flour, cornbran, cane sugar, whole wheat, oatbran, whey, salt…… Fortified with vitamins plus iron (60% of the DVI for Iron).
My wife buys this cereal as she feels she needs more even more fiber in her diet, even though I think we eat pretty well in the fiber department. Still she says has trouble staying “regular” and that this High Fiber cereal helps! We like that. My wife buys this High Fiber Cereal mostly for her. Me, I usually buy good tasty granola mostly for myself. But I just use that as “topping” on top of this.
This HIGH FIBER CEREAL 9 grams fiber per serving. For contrast, my granola has about 5 grams.
Taste wise its OK, a bit neutral, not great but not bad. The texture is nice and crunchy. It looks like little brown strings or twigs. Sometimes clumps of them. I imagine like me, you are probably not eating just a bowl of this cereal and milk?
Maybe like me, you are likely adding other things, besides milk or a similar substitute. Maybe a bit of Yogurt? Kefir? Fresh fruit, like perhaps some sliced bananas, berries, apples or other fresh fruits or maybe some dried fruits. Kefir…
So this is likely just one part of your breakfast bowl. That’s how I eat this and it tastes fine. I even put a sprinkle of granola on top of everything to make it a little tastier.
Also in the plus column: it’s low in calories, low in fat, low in sodium, and has ZEROcholesterol, plus this is low in Added Sugars, compared to almost any other cereal Trader Joe’s sells. So really compared to many other choices, this is the “healthy choice” in the Trader Joe’s cereal department. Maybe the healthiest cereal they sell besides Oatmeal.
It looks like little bits of brown stringy things which I am pretty sure are extruded then baked. I am not too familiar with Nabisco’s FIBER ONE cereal but I think this is similar. I doubt anyone would say “this is the best cereal I ever tasted”. But you know what, its not bad. I think it tastes it’s OK. Fairly neutral in flavor, it is nice and crunchy. Its a bit naturally sweet.
It taste healthy. Generally I myself use it like a topping, and put it on top of my breakfast mixture of chia seeds, fruit, yogurt and sometimes kefir. I sometimes add a little bit of granola on top of everything to improve it all. If you want an easy way to add some extra fiber in your diet, this cereal is certainly an easy way to start in the morning getting your fiber.
(You can compare to FIBER ONE)
Other things I get from Trader Joe’s for breakfast that are high fiber are Steel Cut Oats. Chia Seeds……
Personally I have always liked the classic GRAPE NUTS cereal – which is also pretty high fiber, and I do prefer it to this however my wife prefers this cereal by far, and doesn’t like Grape Nuts at all.
She has brought boxes of this cereal home quite a few times now, which means she really likes it, and says it does works to keep her system nice and regular! Just sayin’, if that’s what you are looking for too, this will probably be good for you as well!;)
“the recommended daily amount of fiber is 28 grams per day” so this is just one part….
High Fiber Cereal$2.99(14.5 oz)$3.29
So for two healthy cereal options from Trader Joe’s, I would recommend this as well as OATS (steel cut preferably) I buy both cereals for our house.
(PS One reader even Commented they use this cereal to bake bran muffins!)
