Yeah, I took the humongous ones when I was pregnant. Not super fun, but I'm also not 3 years old, so I did what I had to do.
Hence why I'd rather just swallow them than crush them and sprinkle them!

Some of my favorite ways to spice it up and make them a little more flavorful are:
- Sprinkle some Truvia all natural zero calorie sweetener on top
- Use unsweetened chocolate almond milk on them instead of regular milk
- Use unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a Tsp. or two of cinnamon
- Slice up some bananas and strawberries and mix in with them
- Dice up half a fresh apple and add that and some cinnamon! Tastes like apple jacks
Enjoy!
Truvia is FAR from "all natural". Granulated sugar is a better and more natural choice0 -
I can't believe this is a thread. Oh wait, it is MFP. Never mind...
Actually what shocks me here are the number of adults that are 1) overly picky eaters (seriously people, get over that, being a kid is over) and 2) the number of people who can't seem to adult (if you have a problem, be an adult about it and fix it and quit whining)0 -

Wait wait, I have an idea, grind the iron pills into a powder and sprinkle it on the cheerios. Your eyes will make your brain think the powder is sugar.
but it wont TASTE better! PLZ PAY ATTENTION!
How do you know? Have you done it? What kind of support is this forum.
you know what, you're right.
i apologize for being a bully.
OP, i think MrM is onto something here!
let us know how it goes!
Why would I try it? I'm not lacking iron. I eat a T-Bone steak every day for breakfast. And I eat cheerios. T-Bone steak coated in Cheerios. That's how I make my plain Cheerios taste better.
You're definitely not lacking iron but you could potentially be having other health problems. A steak for breakfast isn't healthy. Did you know that eating red meat every day like that majorly increases your risk of heart problems?
Also you can get too much iron. I hope you don't cook your steak in cast iron. You might wanna get checked for hemochromatosis.
Did you know that everyone who breathes oxygen eventually stops breathing oxygen?
100% of people who consume dihydrogen monoxide DIE!
edited to add: lol @ steak for breakfast being unhealthy
edited to add more: lol @ the entire post that contains the steak bit, and the cast iron skillet bit. lotta lulz in here.0 -

Pretty much this. Pull on the big girl panties and do what needs to be done.0 -

Agreed. The other night my four-year-old pitched a full-on tantrum because I tried to get him to eat squash. Ain't no place for that in the adult world.0 -

No I want to eat the regular ones cause they have twice as much iron as the honey nut and my iron is really low. I saw a nutritionist and she wants me to eat more iron rich foods and Cheerios was on the list she gave me.
I started buying Whole Grain Total because it has a lot of nutrition, more than most cereals. But it tastes bland. I had been buying Vanilla Almond Special K because I love it...and had been mixing it in to my Vanilla Greek Yogurt. (I hate cereal with milk.)
Vanilla Almond Special K is more calories than Total but quite inferior nutritionally. I realized that when I mixed it with the yogurt, I didn't taste the Special K much, just the yogurt and the texture.
So ...I now crumble up the Total and mix it into the yogurt. Tastes no different than it did with the special K, but has 10 fewer calories, lol...and lots more nutrition, including iron.
Try that. Or try putting the cheerios in yogurt.

OP has posted here a few times before. She is an extremely picky eater (almost like a toddler), and she has an irrational fear of swallowing a pill, she won't eat Flinstone's vitamins, and she usually refutes helpful suggestions saying that they won't work for her.
I'm not personally attacking OP, as I'm sure she's an overall nice person, but that is how her threads usually pan out.
Is she trolling or something?
I honestly don't know.
I'm sure she has some reason why she can't take the liquid iron supplement. It may upset her delicate taste buds?
too wet?
^Poor OP.
Is that a glass of wine? I don't like wine, I feel for this woman.
You know, I'm not sure. It looks frothy, so maybe it's some kind of beer?
Or it could be toilet water. I don't know.
all 3 are GROSS anyways so I still feel her.0 -

Yellow or brown toilet water? If it's the brown water then it's like detox inception man.0 -

OP could just eat her Cheerios out of a cast-iron skillet and get all the iron she needs.0

I just saw my doctor today and she is very concerned about my iron. It's a very big issue. But yet you all just wanna make jokes and go off topic. Whatever. I'm out of here.
Take a multi-vitamin with iron. Eat a cereal you like instead of one you don't like. Not sure why you needed to post a whole thread about this.0 -

Then pull up your big-girl pants and then take an iron supplement.0 -
The thread has gotten stupid? Gotten?
OP, you've inspired me though. Later tonight I will be looking for ways to make my Rice Krispies taste like Coco Krispies.
Methinks chocolate protein powder in the milk WOO. I have one that tastes like cocoa puffs to me, but it gives me an upset stomach (Kaizen/Bodylogix brand).
ALSO omg. for some reason this make me think of puffed wheat squares, I used to LOVE those. We used to make them at home in big batches.. I think I need to make a GF version with rice krispies.0 -
