Favorite breakfast cereal

**andiesenji** · January 31, 2005

Frosted mini-wheats, spoon sized, half and half with Cheerios.

Broguiere's Milk - comes in a glass bottle and tastes the way milk is supposed to taste. Worth every penny of the inflated price and th $1.00 deposit on each bottle.

Before I learned about Special K red Berries from Little Miss Foodie's blog I was strictly a Weetabix girl. I'm branching out.

Um. Diet coke IN the cereal?

Oatmeal is my real favorite. But of the packaged varieties.

Peanut Butter Bumpers. Mmmm Mmm

I my faster-metabolism days (college! :biggrin: ), I would come home from my summer job of working in a metal fab plant and sit on the easy chair in the living room, read a magazine, and eat a box of cereal. Ideally this would be something with big chunks to grab on to (frosted mini-wheats, etc), but sometimes even raisin bran was chosen.

I like most cereals, even very sweet and very healthy kinds, but my current fave is Kashi GoLean (and I just ate 1/4 of a box sitting here at my computer).

Honey Nut Cheerios (heart healthy and lowers cholesterol doncha know!)

Cheerios was my fave cereal as a kid, but their heart-healthy image is one of the most egregious scams going. 210 mg of sodium per serving is really pretty outrageous.

Yeah I know I'm a one trick pony. :wacko:

My grandma would put a little coffee in our rice krispies 'n milk 'n sugar. Sort of a cafe au lait rice krispies. It was good!

My faves now are old faithfuls, Frosted Flakes, Raisin Bran, Honey Nut Cheerios, all sans coffee milk.

Cranberry Almond Crunch
Vector ... so I can scale Everest this weekend
Kelllog's Raisin Bran
Corn Pops ... only when camping, and then only in those little Kel-bowl-packs.

Corn Pops were my favourite until I found the Harvest Crunch granola, but it's still a close second.

I've never had peanut butter-flavoured cereal. Sounds good!

zilla369 · February 2, 2005

General Mills used to have a puffed cereal called "Triples", that was waaaay better (and less sweet) than Rice Krispies; it was a blend of rice, corn and wheat puffs (made better "rice krispy" treats, as well). Sadly, i haven't been able to find it for years. I think they stopped making it.

Or maybe it's just a conspiracy to keep me, personally, from eating it.

Yeah.

lancastermike · February 2, 2005

Frosted Flakes!!!!! Me and Tony the Tiger agree 100% about these babies.

on an entirely different track I also like steel cut oatmeal made with buttermilk.

Raisin Bran is cool as well. At one time Kellogs made frosted bran which I really liked but i have not seen that in years

laniloa · February 2, 2005

My all time favorite is Honeycomb -- eaten as a snack, straight out the box, no milk. My favorite in a bowl is Cocoa Krispies because of the chocolate milk and the whole idea of chocolate for breakfast. When I lived in Hawaii cereal was too expensive for my meager grad student salary (shipping costs are a factor of weight and volume). When I moved to DC, I ate cereal for breakfast and dinner for about a month straight I was so excited to have it again.

My current favorite is Smart Start with soy protein with some extra fruit tossed in. Stays crunchy and I don't get hungry again by 10.

Cap'n Crunch, straight out of the box.

But oh, my, does one pay for that!

daniellewiley · February 2, 2005

I love Heritage-O's, especially in the summer, when I can get fresh organic berries to put in there with it. I like them best with vanilla Silk soy milk, but 2% milk is OK too.

When I have morning sickness, I like Gorilla Munch, which is essentially an organic Cap'n Crunch. The Whole Foods 365 brand Fruit Loops are excellent too, though I haven't made it up to the store lately to stock up.

If I could eat anything with no consequences, I'd eat Cap'n Crunch, Fruit Loops and Golden Grahams every day.

Cap'n Crunch is divine. I prefer it with milk.

And what is UP with the ravaged roof-of-the-mouth after you're done with a bowl?!?!?

malarkey · February 2, 2005

Currently, Whole Foods 365 Raisin Bran. At $2 for a big box, it can't be beat. With a banana and 1% milk.

I love cereal of all kinds. There's some other WF healthy type brands I can't quite remember, but one makes a maple raisin and a maple pecan big cluster type of granola. Really great but too expensive and too many calories! :-(

stephenc · February 2, 2005

Frosted Flakes.

Theyrrrre great.

Has anyone read Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson? There's a marvelous 4 page exposition regarding the science of eating Cap'n Crunch (milk temperature, speed of eating to avoid the crunch turning to mush while avoiding roof-of-mouth damage, etc). It has nothing whatsoever to do with the plot of the story, but I love it anyway.

Lately it's been Barbara's Oat Squares (I didn't even know they came in vanilla, but eww) and Heritage Flakes (I believe they have flax in them, so I colloquially call them flax flakes). I also like Heritage O's when I can find them. I used to like Kashi's Go Lean Crunch, but lately I've found it too sweet. Since I'm on a supermarket boycott (personal), and national brand cereals are so ridiculously overpriced, I've given up Frosted Mini Wheats and Grape Nuts, unless I can find them at Costco.

Favorites from childhood: Froot Loops, Boo Berry (seasonal), Cap'n Crunch (loved the Cinnamon Crunch when it was around), King Vitaman (essentially crown-shaped Cap'n), Apple Jacks, Sugar Pops, Sugar Smacks, Honeycomb.

Mom wouldn't let me have Lucky Charms because of the marshmallows. Candy sweet cereal, sure. Marshmallows somehow crossed the line. :unsure: :huh:
