Why we included Turtle in the PraveBio.cz range
Turtle is selected for customers who want to go against the grain with their breakfast and not grab the first “colourful” cereals from the supermarket. In our selection, it is a nutritionally balanced alternative: emphasis on organic ingredients, clear recipes, and an approach that focuses on simplicity and transparency, not flashy promises.
Turtle was founded in 2014 by the Belgian-German duo Laurence and Thilo, who develop a range from cereals and granola to porridge and flakes. Depending on the specific products, the brand also works with clearly labelled dietary directions (e.g., gluten-free, vegan) and addresses packaging – using recycled and recyclable materials (e.g., cardboard with a proportion of recycled fibres).
Gluten-Free Cornflakes Without Added Sugar – Turtle
Gluten-free organic cornflakes from Turtle are a crunchy breakfast classic with a simple composition. They are perfect in a bowl with milk, plant-based drink, or yogurt and can easily be complemented with fresh fruit or nuts to taste.
These are organic cereals with a purely plant-based composition, consisting of only three basic ingredients: corn, salt, and sunflower lecithin. They are naturally without added sugar and certified gluten-free; thus, the composition is suitable for coeliacs and vegan diets.
Per 100 g, they contain only 0.3 g of sugar and 5 g of fibre. They are a source of complex carbohydrates, suitable for kids, athletes, and those on a weight-loss diet.
These organic cornflakes remain crunchy and retain their firm structure, so they do not soften immediately in milk or yogurt. Therefore, they are ideal as a quick base for family breakfasts and snacks.
Cereals can also be used as a crunchy topping on porridge, in yogurt bowls, or on desserts. Since they are not sweet, they can also be used in savoury dishes, for example, as a crunchy gluten-free coating mix.

Why Choose Turtle
Turtle was founded in 2014 by Laurence and Thilo, who met in Belgium. They blend different cultural influences and take a practical approach to breakfast: it should be easy to prepare, taste good for the whole family, and make sense even on days when there's no time for elaborate cooking in the morning.
Initially, they were looking for organic cereals and breakfast products without added sugar that suited their taste and composition. This experience led them to create simple recipes and share inspiration on how to assemble breakfast to one's liking.
The name Turtle refers to the story "The Tortoise & the Hare" and symbolises the choice between "fast" and "slow" energy release. The brand focuses on breakfast products that can be combined in a bowl, porridge, or home recipes, and continuously develops new ideas and recipe inspiration.

Turtle and the "Slow Approach" to Breakfast
The name Turtle is derived from the story "The Tortoise & the Hare" and works with the theme of the difference between "fast" and "slow" sugars. The brand communicates the idea of a breakfast that works in a real day: without unnecessary sweetening and with the option of easily adding other ingredients.
Turtle products are designed to be versatile and easily combinable. In practice, this means they work as a base for a bowl but can also be used as a topping or part of home recipes.
What Turtle Stands For
- Simple recipes for everyday use.
- Organic ingredients selected with an emphasis on quality.
- Products without added sugar as a regular breakfast choice.
- Recipe inspiration for breakfast bowls and home combinations.
How Did This Story Begin?
The beginning of the Turtle brand is linked to the search for breakfast alternatives that were of organic quality and also without added sugar. When combined with the experience of pregnancy and childcare, the need for a straightforward and "safely readable" breakfast at home became even more specific.
At a time when both were working full-time, Turtle was created as a project to bring their vision into practice. The result is a brand focused on breakfast products that can be quickly prepared, well combined, and fit into a typical family routine.
Today, Turtle continues to develop new products and shares inspiration on how to create breakfast to one's liking. The goal remains the same: to offer a taste that delights and a composition that is easy to navigate.

FAQ
How can I use Turtle Gluten-Free Cornflakes other than as a classic breakfast bowl?
Gluten-free cornflakes without added sugar don't have to end up just in a bowl with milk or yogurt. Thanks to their neutral taste and low sugar content, they can be used in savoury cooking as a crispy coating mix for meat or vegetables, as an ingredient in homemade savoury sticks, or as a topping for creamy soups.
How do Turtle cornflakes differ from regular supermarket cornflakes?
Turtle cornflakes contain very little sugar, only 0.3 g of sugar per 100 g, and are made from certified organic ingredients. They contain no added refined sugar, malt extract, palm oil, or artificial flavourings, resulting in a simple composition.
How can I create a portion with 20–25 g of protein using Turtle cornflakes?
Turtle flakes are a source of complex carbohydrates and naturally contain 8 g of protein per 100 g. For a protein breakfast, simply pour 150 g of Greek yogurt or quark over a regular 40 g portion of flakes, add a tablespoon of pure whey protein and a handful of seeds. This combination can achieve 20–25 g of protein in one bowl.
Are Turtle cornflakes suitable as an evening meal if I'm watching my sugar intake?
Yes. With only 0.3 g of sugar per 100 g, these flakes can be suitable when monitoring sugar intake. As an evening snack, they can be combined with unsweetened plant-based drinks or plain yogurt.
Do these cornflakes contain any ingredients that people with sensitive digestion should be aware of?
These flakes have a simple composition without inulin, artificial sweeteners, and additives. They are gluten-free. For people with sensitive digestion, it mainly depends on individual tolerance to corn.
Will Turtle cornflakes stay crispy after pouring and how should they be stored?
The flakes remain firm and do not immediately become soggy after pouring milk or yogurt. After opening, we recommend sealing the bag carefully with a clip or transferring the flakes to an airtight glass or plastic container to prevent them from absorbing atmospheric moisture and losing their crispness.
What is the Turtle brand and where does it come from?
Turtle is a Belgian family brand founded in 2014 by Laurence and Thilo. The brand focuses on organic breakfasts and cereals without refined sugar, unhealthy fats, and chemical additives.
Are Turtle cornflakes truly safe for coeliacs?
Yes, the product is certified gluten-free. The production process takes place in a controlled environment to minimise the risk of cross-contamination with gluten. The flakes are therefore suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance and those with coeliac disease.
What is the exact composition of Turtle cornflakes?
The composition is simple and consists of only three items: organic corn, salt, and organic sunflower lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier. The product contains no added sugar, malt, flavours, or preservatives.
Why is sunflower lecithin used in Turtle cornflakes?
Sunflower lecithin in organic quality functions as a natural emulsifier. It helps maintain the structure and consistency of the flakes during processing without synthetic binders and hydrogenated fats.
Is the product suitable for people on a low-carb or keto diet?
The flakes contain minimal sugars (0.3 g), but corn is naturally rich in complex carbohydrates (80 g per 100 g). The product is not suitable for a strict keto diet, but within a regular low-carb diet with more flexible carbohydrate settings or during carb cycling (carb waves), it can be included in moderation.
Are Turtle cornflakes suitable for young kids?
Yes, they can be a suitable choice for kids. Unlike regular children's cereals, which often contain refined sugar and colourings, Turtle flakes offer a grainy taste. Kids can get used to the natural taste of foods without excessive sweetening.
Can this product support weight loss and a reduction diet?
The flakes contain no added sugar. If combined with a source of protein and healthy fats, they can create a breakfast that fits into a reduction diet.
Does the product meet strict criteria for a vegan diet?
Yes. The composition is of plant origin and contains no animal products or animal-derived auxiliaries, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
What exactly does the BIO label mean for the Turtle brand?
The BIO label means that the corn used comes from controlled organic farming. No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or industrial fertilisers are used in its cultivation, and processing is done without genetically modified organisms (GMO).
Why do cornflakes contain salt when they are presented as healthy?
The composition includes a small amount of salt (0.75 g per 100 g) to enhance the natural flavour of organic corn. Without this pinch, the flakes would be less flavourful. The amount of salt is low.
Does the product contain any traces of potential allergens?
Although cornflakes are naturally gluten-free, other ingredients may be processed on the production line. Therefore, the product may contain traces of milk, soy, nuts, and sesame. Allergy sufferers should take this information into account.
What awards has the Turtle brand received for its products?
Products from the Belgian brand Turtle have received the international Great Taste Award, which evaluates the taste of food regardless of packaging or marketing.
What is the Yuka 100/100 rating that these flakes have?
Yuka is an app that rates food based on nutritional quality, the presence of additives, and organic certification. A score of 100/100 represents the highest possible rating in this app.
What is the optimal size of a single serving of cornflakes?
A typical serving for an adult is approximately 40 g of flakes. Such a portion contains about 629 kJ / 148 kcal and is suitable as a regular breakfast serving.

Who is behind the Turtle brand
Behind the Turtle brand is a team of health food enthusiasts who believe that breakfast should not only be tasty, but also nutritious and made with respect for nature. Inspired by the simplicity and quality of traditional recipes, the brand founders decided to create a range of cereal products that combine pure organic ingredients, great taste and sustainability.
The aim was to offer an alternative to conventional breakfast products, which often contain unnecessary additives, refined sugar and artificial flavourings.
Turtle is based on the philosophy of "slow food", i.e . conscious eating with an emphasis on the quality of ingredients and their natural processing. The brand name symbolizes patience, honesty and consideration - values that are reflected not only in the products themselves, but also in the entire approach to production and business. As a result, Turtle has earned the trust of customers across Europe and is constantly expanding its range with new, innovative products that make breakfast a real treat.
Turtle brand vision
Turtle' s vision is clear - to deliver breakfasts that are not only delicious, but also healthy, nutritious and made with the planet in mind. They want to inspire people to better eating habits by offering products without unnecessary additives, refined sugar and chemicals.
Every step of production, from the careful selection of raw materials to eco-friendly packaging, reflects their commitment to sustainability and quality. At the same time, they emphasize an ethical approach to production and fair cooperation with suppliers who share their values.
Their goal is not only to produce quality products, but also to contribute to a positive change in the way people think about food and its impact on the world.
What inspires the founders
Turtle is a brand that embodies everything that goes into a great breakfast - simple, clean and delicious products. Their team focuses on creating innovative recipes and improving traditional breakfast dishes to make them healthier and more nutritious.
They were the first to market porridges, which gradually created a whole new segment in some European countries. They enrich classic recipes with modern elements and look for new ways to combine ingredients and discover new flavours.
Each Turtle product is designed with versatility in mind, but always with carefully selected organic ingredients that guarantee high quality, healthful ingredients and great taste.
How did this story begin?
The founders were looking for organic, no-sugar-added breakfast cereals - and couldn't find them. It was only pregnancy and the birth of our child that made us think even more deeply about what we actually eat and what we want to offer our family. At the time, both Thilo and Laurence were busy with work, but maternity leave proved to be just the right moment to launch Turtle - a brand that brings better breakfast alternatives to those looking for clean ingredients and real taste.
The name Turtle was chosen after the well-known story of the tortoise and the hare. While the hare pushes forward and tires quickly, the tortoise goes slowly but steadily - and eventually wins. It works the same way with the energy from whole grain oats, which is released gradually and gives the body a steady strength for the whole day.
Today, they are grateful to be able to share their love of breakfast with hundreds of thousands of you each month. They're always looking for new ways to bring you even better products and inspiration for breakfasts you'll love. Because a good day starts with a great breakfast - and they always want yours to be special.
Why does Turtle rely on organic farming?
All Turtle products come from organic farming, which is better for nature and human health. Unlike conventional production, it minimises the use of chemicals, promotes natural soil fertility and protects groundwater. As a result, bees can continue to pollinate, the landscape remains diverse and consumers can enjoy a breakfast free of unwanted toxins and pesticides.
Why Turtle chooses organic farming
- It preserves soil fertility for future generations.
- It protects the purity of drinking water.
- Reduces the amount of pesticides and toxic substances in food.
- It promotes biodiversity and contributes to the sustainability of the planet.
- It does not contain any genetically modified (GM) ingredients.
From the very beginning, Turtle has held the BE-BIO-001 organic certification, confirming its commitment to sustainability and the highest quality.
Fair production and healthy food
Fair Production: a responsibility that makes sense
Turtle is committed to sourcing ingredients in a fair and reasonable manner because it believes that quality products start with honest supplier relationships.
Proximity
- They buy raw materials from farms close to their production facilities, which allows for a long-term and stable cooperation between farmers and producers.
- This approach promotes not only the freshness of raw materials but also the sustainability of local communities.
Fair access
- Every raw material is purchased in accordance with the high social standards set by organizations such as BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), SA8000 (Social Accountability) and ILO (International Labour Organization).
All of Turtle' s suppliers are members of Sedex, which ensures fair living and working conditions for all those involved in growing cocoa, sugar cane and other ingredients that brands cannot grow directly in their area.
Healthy and nutritious food: start the day with energy that lasts
Breakfast should provide not only immediate energy, but also a long-lasting feeling of satiety and vitality. The right combination of macronutrients is the key to giving your brain and body everything they need to function optimally.
Reach for breakfast foods that contain a balance of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats and fibre. Carbohydrates give you quick energy, while protein gives you a steady source of energy throughout the day.
Taste is the foundation of food enjoyment
This enjoyment has a positive effect on our health. It is scientifically proven that enjoying food supports digestion, improves the relationship with food and can help overcome problems such as eating disorders.
Therefore, it is not only important what you eat, but also how you eat it.
Sustainable packaging: Protecting freshness and being responsible for the planet
Turtle' s goal is to use packaging that preserves the freshness and taste of their products while minimizing the negative impact on the environment.
The cardboard boxes are made from 80% recycled fibres, and the outer packaging for transport is completely recyclable.
While plastic is not ideal, it is essential for preserving freshness and protecting against moisture, greatly reducing food waste. This plastic is recyclable, which means that by reusing it, the amount of new plastic can be reduced.
They use eco-friendly bubbles made from degradable vegetable starch to ship orders.
