You are looking for a more challenging opportunity.
You want to learn more.
You want to grow in your field and advance your career.
You are leaving your current job because there is no room for advancement.
Any of those will work very well.
Take care,
Troy

The truth.
But if the truth would make you look bad w/prospective employers, then massage it a little. A "negative truth" to avoid would be you think your boss is an ***hole, or you can just can't get a handle on your job. Be careful admitting to personality conflicts or cognitive/skills shortcomings. Don't ever say you're leaving because of "politics". If you have to cover up for something then try some of the above suggestions like "opportunity to advance", "expand my network of contacts & experience", etc.
It's so common now for employees to jump employers, and most companies have no loyalties to employees either. So don't sweat this question, it's an easy one.

I would tell a prospective employer that although I feel I'm treated well at my current job, it doesn't offer me the opportunity for growth, and that I would appreciate a fresh challenge in my work.

Just tell the prospective employer that you need to grow and you feel stifled by the current company.

Tell them that the current job is not challenging enough - you want to advance into a position which offers a challenge from which you can learn and grow as a professional.

Unless its "you and your company suck", I'd tell them the truth. Just make sure you have some other place to work first.
You owe your employer very little. They should understand that people come and go often. Just give them adequate notice and work hard for them up until you leave. Thats all you owe them.
If it is "you and your company sucK" I would soften it a little and just tell them you've found an opportunity that you think is a better fit for you
