Cereal

[Caveman Catfan]

Do you still eat cereal? If so, is the same cereal you liked as a kid? If not, how has your cereal palate changed?

I like Special K cinnamon and pecan in chocolate milk. Not what I ate as a kid. Still eat the Life sometimes. If Cap Crunch is around, I will eat that bowl after bowl, but I don’t buy it.

Quaker Oats 1-min oatmeal is my daily goto.

 

[funKYcat75]

My cereal of choice. Mostly just for snacking though.

I stopped eating cereal in high school in the late 80's. I always dumped a bunch of sugar on rice crispies or corn flakes and knew it wasn't heathy. These days I go for Greek yogurt or my own version of an egg mcmuffin (with scrambled egg).

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Not in a long time but I always liked frosted mini wheats and multi grain cheerios with a sliced banana

I used to eat bowls of cereal all the time with a wide variety. In the past 5 years, I've made the decision to cut back on sugar and, to a lesser extent, empty carbs. I eat about half a bowl of regular Cherrios every morning with my eggs and bacon/sausage. No sugar, usually with berries of some sort - has maybe 10 carbs total in that amount and fulfills my need for cereal in the morning. Also have taken to making my own granola with a variety of nuts crunched up and no added sugar just to give my Cheerios some character.

The supposedly 'healthy' cereals (granola, Raisin Bran, etc.) have 4+X the carbs of plain ole Cheerios for those who are somewhat carb conscious. Also, Stevia is a very acceptable sweetener that does not affect blood sugar/insulin levels so you can use it without your body reacting like it's sugar (like it does with pretty much every other substitute sweetener).

[august-west]

Nature’s Path organic Flax plus Multigrain Flakes. I add blueberries or bananas, pistachios, cinnamon and unsweetened almond milk

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Honey Bunches of Oats is the perfect cereal, imo

Golden Grahams
Frosted Mini Wheats

Unless you are very young, I am guessing this was not your childhood mix.

Cinnamon toast crunch

I like Cinnamon Toast Crunch creamer on the once a month cup of coffee I drink

no, it was not. So I guess the answer to your question is no and yes

I’m still killing peanut butter crunch and crunch berries 🍺

 

[entropy13]

Did I somehow get lost on my way to Le Paddock and wind up in Rupp Rafters? You all eat mass market cereal? Forum standards must be slipping.

If I need a quick bite for my morning meal, I'll usually have my chef prepare some bespoke granola or muesli. If it's the former, I douse it with some fresh, cold organic goat milk.

I like cereal but I eat healthy so I have it up. Some favorites are Honey Bunches of Oates and corn flakes. People who add sugar to corn flakes are dumb, as are Frosted Flakes. Yuck

 

[Elbridge]

I probably haven't eaten cereal in thirty years. It never even think about buying cereal at the store.

 

[*CatinIL*]

What else? 14 g of whole grains!

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Too many carbs, so I only have Cheerios once a week for a treat. No sugar.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

AC Cheerios are the best. Prove me wrong. I rarely eat cereal but just bought some Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.

 

[Wesley91581]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Reeses puffs

I make cereal my midnight snack alot. Keeps me from eating dumbshit at midnight. Mostly frosted mini.

 

[Catman100]

Fruit Loops FTW!!!

 

[JonathanW]

On occasion will eat cereal. I mix it up, by the time I finish a small box, I'm ready for something different.
My go-to's:
- peanut butter Capt'n Crunch
- Reese's cup puffs
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- corn flakes w/ strawberries (prefer the generic Food Lion one)
- oats & corn flakes mix w/ strawberries (prefer generic one)
- Cheerios (either chocolate & peanut butter, or strawberry flavors)

I got a box once when in college, it was like eating gravel. Threw it away.

Did you leave anything out?

 

[warrior-cat]

Kashi brands mostly. Their version of mini wheats or chocolate granola clusters, Cheerios or Cinnamon Life when I tire of those.

 

[storm1507]

Yeah I still eat cereal for breakfast. Although I may still like what I ate as a kid I try to make my cereal meal all about the fiberz and eat a variety of high fiber cereals.

 

[JDHoss]

Haven't eaten cereal in a bowl with milk since I was probably 12. If you can't eat it within a couple of minutes, it's just mush. I do enjoy Cheerios and frosted mini wheats as a dry snack sometimes.

 

[funKYcat75]

Did anyone ever eat Fiber One cereal? Tried it for a few days and I thought I was going to blow out a hole in my pants.

 

[TCurtis75]

I eat a lot of cereal. Usually have a bowl or two every night as a snack before bed. Always have some variation of 2 to 3 of the following on hand Capn Crunch, Fruit Loops, Apple Jacks, Lucky Charms, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch on hand. The GF always has Raisin Bran Crunch.

Currently (for nostalgia) I also have a box of Frankenberry in the pantry because I used to love it as a kid. It isn't nearly as good as I remembered it being during my childhood.

 

[electricdreammachine]

Cocoa Krispies all day

 

[augustaky1]

Bagel seeds and berries.

 

[CB3UK]
