Recommend your cereal

[Brie]

Now that it's summer, I want cold cereal for breakfast.

I am sick to death of the Kashi GoLean varieties...I rotate between the plain GoLean, the regular Crunch, and the Honey Almond Flax Crunch. I've been doing this for years and I don't know that I can look at another bowl of it. I like their stuff because it has protein in it and it keeps me full, but I'm also open to putting protein powder in my milk and/or supplementing with a HB egg for protein.

What do you like that's tasty and reasonably healthy?

I've been into the Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal lately.

[jgleespen]

I've been eating Multi Grain Cheerios, or peanut butter cheerios with chocolate milk

[texassmith]

Barbara's Multigrain Shredded Spoonfuls

[ebeth]

peanut butter puffins are damn tasty. they probably aren't that great for you though.

I also very much enjoy quaker oatmeal squares.

Nature's Path Pumpkin Raisin Crunch (from Costco)

Anything Nature's Path is a good bet. Solid ingredients, and I like it better than any of the Kashi stuff I've tried.

[cookies]

I live and die by Puffins. Yum.

My cereal of the week is Nature's Path Pumpkin Raisin Crunch.

Here's an article from Sparkpeople that I just read a couple of days ago.

Special K Protein Plus is my fave. It has a lot of protein and is fairly low carb/sugar.

[mrs.jacinthe]

My current love is Nature's Path Cinnamon FlaxPlus. It's sort of like cinnamon toast crunch for adults - in flake format.

I also like the TJs Fiber-Os. H thinks they're disgusting, but I love them.

I LOVE cereal, as in eat a small bowl almost every night. Honey nut cheerios and Honey bunches of oats are my favorite. I just got the new Apple Cinnamon cheerios this week and love them! Not so healthy ones that I love are Coco pebbles and Cinnamon toast crunch.

[tuggyruns]

I love Cascadian Farms Maple Brown Sugar Granola and their Honey Nut O's

[ckinla]

Nature Plus Pumpkin Granola with Flaxseed (although it's pretty high calorie, so I eat a half serving with a low-cal cereal like cheerios, or rice crispies), and peanut butter puffins are delicious (I also cut the serving size in half with cheerios).

[Wines Not Whines]

Peanut Butter cheerios and PB Puffins are both delicious, but not necessarily the healthiest options out there.

Regular cheerios are really tasty if you add some fresh berries or bananas.

I also like almost anything by Nature's Path.

While I know someone must eat this stuff because it's still on the shelf... all of the "good" cereals on the list taste like cardboard. Plain All Bran. Plain Shredded Wheat. The only way I can get through a bowl of cereal with <5g of sugar per serving is to add way more sugar.

im not a big cereal person at all. but i do like frosted mini wheats and cinnamon cheerios. neihter of which are super healthy, but neither are that bad. but i only buy like one box a year, so im ok with my choices.

in a perfect world peanut butter cap'n crunch would be as healthy as broccoli. sigh.... a girl can dream, right?

[shorewife]

Fiber One original + vanilla protein powder + skim milk. Lots of protein and fiber all at once, plus it tastes like the Carnation Instant breakfast I used to eat as a kid.

[omalley]

I don't know how widely available but I eat Uncle Sam's Strawberry Cereal. It is high in fiber and has flax seeds. I usually mix it with greek yogurt for extra protein instead of milk but it is good with milk too.

I agree. I looked at this list and thought, well I might as well eat paper.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'm taking notes.

[sadlebred]

I like Trader Joe's shredded wheat and raisin bran. I also love Honey Nut Cheerios (Publix variety, too).

[spunkypenguin]

I like Kellogg's Fiber Plus Cinnamon Oat Crunch for a reasonably healthy option. I usually alternate between that and Fiber One 80cal cereal.

Sometimes I switch it up with Honey Nut Cheerios or Honey Bunches of Oats. The Dulce de Leche cheerios are also decent.

[noisemaker]

Another vote for Nature's Path here. The Red Berry Crunch is yummy, and so is the Blueberry cinnamon one mentioned above.

Grapenuts (I know I'm boring, but Kashi uses GMO ingredients, so there aren't many options)

[breezy8407]

No one recommended my breakfast today of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

I like quaker oatmeal squares as well. I've liked the natures path stuff from Costco and the Kirkland brand cereals.

I agree totally, but she asked for healthy cereals, so there they are!

I eat a ton of cereal and my personal faves that are non-Kashi are plain cheerios, multi grain cheerios, honey nut cheerios, frosted mini wheats and the cascadian farms version of fruit loops.
