Least bad Ultra Processed Foods

[Gufo]

Following on from the Ultra Processed Foods thread, does anyone know the least bad breakfast cereals, squash, crisps and chocolate biscuit bars, etc? Maybe we could share ideas and make a list here?
I know the ideal is porridge, water, and an apple, but I'm trying to be realistic and wean my kids off UPF gently and realistically (for our family).
If there are no least bad options, that would be good to know too!

Dorset muesli £2 in Morrisons yesterday.

Thanks for all the great ideas! DS often has porridge for breakfast and I've only just introduced squash now that they are starting high school (I know). It's more easy dinners like frozen pizza and packed lunch items that need a rethink.

kids might like overnight oats as an alternative to porridge, particularly in hot weather, or I saw someone making overnight “cheesecake” with soaked weetabix as the base, a layer of fruit and then Greek yogurt on the top.

I go with looking at the list of ingredients, if short and things I recognize as food, it’s good. If long with stuff I don’t recognize, then bad.
For cereal porridge and wheats, crisps I tend to go with ready salted from any brand or with the brand ‘Proper’. Home made popcorn is also a good snack. Diluted fruit juice instead of squash.

@Gufo - homemade pizza dough is very easy. Make dough, leave 2 hrs to rise. Then it can be kept in fridge up to 2 weeks. So you could make once, then have pizza one day this week, and one next.

you can also use Same dough to make naan bread.

If you buy a dupe for your usual food item, check the ingredients.
I picked up a look-alike item in a budget supermarket and the ingredients were different. I didn't buy it so can't say if it tasted the same.

The traffic lights system is usually misleading because they tend to list a portion size that isn't realistic.

I very rarely eat UPFs at all.
Breakfast wise I usually eat:

porridge with frozen berries. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries. No sugar needed. I just add them into the pan. Soak the oats overnight, quick to cook.

overnight oats - oats soaked in milk, water or real juice, with fresh or dried fruit, you can use grated apple & fresh OJ which is an especially nice. You can add seeds (chia seeds will thicken it massively if it's too thin & will add some omage 3 too), nuts, spices, yoghurt topping etc. I only ever eat plain, organic yogurt. Non-organic dairy triggers my migraines. (Same with eggs & chicken - IDK why, but anyone who says organic food isn't any different is wrong.)

Eggs plus any fresh or cooked veg you like - tomatoes, peppers, spinach, courgette, mushrooms, onions, potatoes. Do it as a scramble, omelette, hash, whatever. Use olive oil, butter. Not seed oils or refined oils. I tend to have this as brunch but you can use leftover veg or pre cook them for quicker breakfasts.
