What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
I'm about five boxes into Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, and if I eat one more bowl I think I will surely snap. It's way too healthy and I think my body has developed an aversion to pretty much anything that's good for me.
I've been a die-hard Cinnamon Toast Crunch guy for years, but that got old, too.
I have to find something else I can eat for lunch before I fade away. ;)

Of course. I don't do breakfast. I seldom eat or drink anything until after one in the afternoon. Today was an exception, but I got up around 5:00 (instead of 7:00, when I normally drag my ass out of bed). :tu

Ahh. Well, I hate to say it but I'm a honey bunches of oats (with almonds) fan myself. As for sugary cereal, I go with coco puffs or Reese's puffs.

Frosted Mini Wheats... best cereal hands down.

My 7 year old is on a Peanutbutter Crunch kick right now but If I feel like a sugary kids cereal I tend to lean twords Count Chocula. ;)

The times that I do eat cereal, I eat Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. It tastes good for a healhy cereal. Honey Nut Cheerios would be my second choice.

I usually don't have time to sit and eat cereal. I keep a few boxes of cereal bars at my desk at work and eat one when I get to my desk in the morning.

My wife is preggo and trying to watch sugar intake - we found it surprising that Honey Nut Cheerios have more sugar than Honey Bunches of Oats.

Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios, and Luck Charms.

She should look into the Fiber one cereals. While they don't taste as good as coco puffs, they are still very tasty and good for pregnant women.

I've got 4 in my rotation.

Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds

Shredded Wheat (the big biscuits)

Grape Nuts

Froot Loops (not so sure with the "new" improved flavors)

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
I also eat Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, so mark me down for that one and then i also have Golden Grahams in the pantry and if I'm lucky and the kids haven't ate all of them I like a bowl of Cookie Crisp.

Oh, forgot about Golden Grahams! Those are awesome!

Tim, the Froot Loops reminded me of Apple Jacks. I put them on my list.
I might try Grape Nuts, too. Last time I remember they were like hard cardboard balls. Maybe they aren't so bad nowadays?

I'd would toss a handfull of your HCM beads in your mouth and chew em up. Imagine that with better flavor and viola! Grape Nuts.

Gotta go with Trix, they're not just for kids!

My wife gave me crap for eating 'unhealthy' cereal. She eats some sort of organic Kashi granola type stuff. Turns out my Trix has more vitamins and less bad stuff per serving. Granted, that's because the percentages are calculated by weight and the serving size is volumetric, so the heavier Kashi cereal takes a hit... but still, I won that fight :)

I eat Grape Nuts with lots of milk and just a sprinkle of sugar. They're still hard, though, but I like the change of pace.

They've done some "improvements" on the Froot Loop flavoring. Not sure I'm a fan.

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
If i'm going sugary I love the Cinnimon Toast crunch and the Reeses Peanut Butter .

Also a big fan of the Honey Bunches of oats. I add raisins to it.

jmsremax 02-19-2010 11:19 AM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Special K protein
Kashi GoLean (don't eat this cereal if you don't have access to a toilet). I threw out my box
Smart Start

Now for unhealth cereal Cinnamon toast crunch, fruity pebbles, and reeses are my 3 favorites.

I made a real lunch today: Mesquite smoked turkey sandwich with mayo, pickles, and pepperjack cheese. Side of Sun Chips (Garden Salsa flavor) :tu

Cap'n Crunch, Grape nuts, Mini Wheats, Frosted Flakes.

taltos 02-19-2010 01:10 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Either steel cut oats or chocolate Lucky Charms. Both taste good and one of them is healthy.:)

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
I remember being pretty fond of Golden Grahams.

I don't eat a lot of cereal, maybe once a month or so...... Sometimes I will grab a bowl of my wife's Honey Bunches of Oats....

bonjing 02-19-2010 02:05 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Coco Pebbles/Dino bites, are my all time favorite. But for now it's a combo of Special K, the fruit and yogurt is pretty damn good and Honey Nut Cheerios.

elderboy02 02-19-2010 02:11 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
I don't normally eat breakfast. If I do eat cereal, I grab one of those individual packs of cereal at the convenience store and a thing of milk. I usually eat Lucky Charms or Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Prefy 02-19-2010 02:18 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Frosted Mini Wheats...Actually a really healthy cereal with some sugar to boot:D

JE3146 02-19-2010 02:20 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Special K (Red Berries or Berries & Yogurt flavors).

Other than that... Honey Bunches of Oats, Raisin Bran Crunch, or Honey Nut Cheerios are about all I'll ever eat.

PeteSB75 02-19-2010 02:33 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
I used to eat grape nuts, then I noticed the salt content. It's absurdly high. Now I just throw some quaker quick oats in the microwave with milk and whatever fruit I have around - blueberries or bananas, then add some raw almonds or chopped walnuts. Delicious.

Savor the Stick 02-19-2010 02:43 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Grape Nuts, Frosted Mini Wheats or Raisin Bran---I want to always eat for nutrition and not just eat for taste-----but taste is also an important thing.

Looking at the amount of sugar in products is one of my things.

Neuromancer 02-19-2010 07:18 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Oatmeal or grits...both high in fiber...maybe with some low-fat yogurt with fruit, or maybe with a glass of OJ...

I always add brown sugar to Raisin Bran!

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
Gotta have breakfast in the morning, and usually its one of the following:

big bowl of raisen bran.
grape nuts w/raisens.
cook rice w/milk and raisens (did I mentions raisens?).
and sometimes when my daughter isn't looking (and she gets really po'd if she catches me), I dip into her stash of peanut butter capt crunch:D

Freakin Fiber One. I don't really mind it so much any more... but it is about like eating wood.

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
My 'special blend' of one part Fiber 1 (the original) to four parts Special K (also the original) topped with sliced bananas and peaches and drowned in skim milk. Quite tasty:tu

The perfect cereal...you can eat it with milk in the morning, and you can munch it dry watching TV in the evening! :dr

CigarNut 02-19-2010 10:57 PM

Re: What kind of cereal are you guys eating?
 
For breakfast -- Oatmeal (the real kind -- steel cut oats), which I like to mix with chunky applesauce. Instead of applesauce I might have rasins and brown sugar.

Occaisionally I will have cream-of-wheat instead.

For snacks I will any one of the following (dry): Golden Grahams, Corn Flakes, Multigrain Cheerios, Rasin Bran.

And the Malt O Meal bag version is way cheaper and personally, just as good (OK, almost as good). And, if your store has it, it comes in an "family size" bag.

Grape nuts with sugar on top - or better yet, bananas and sugar.

I personally like the crunch.

How I've managed to avoid it so far is a mystery to me. I should have it something awful, but so far, so good. I'm getting better as I get older, eating better stuff and more "regularly". I still haven't broke through that "eating in the morning" barrier. It makes me sick.
Hopefully that'll iron out before too long. :tu

I had some Reese's Peanut Butter puffs. They tasted like cardboard with peanut butter.
