    I used to make a cereal with chia, seeds, hemp, cocnut and dried fruit for extra sweetness. I tried copying "Holy Crap" cereal, which I found tasty but expensive.

    For less sugar, skip or reduce the dried fruit.

    so now we are saying skip dried fruit because sugar??? *facedesk*

    Okie dokie.... It's starting to feel like you are trolling specifically on my posts. Please stop.

    When making a cereal, if you ADD an ingredient with lots of sugar, that would qualify as ADDED SUGAR. I simply said to skip or reduce the dried fruit to reduce sugar.

    *facedesk*

    But in all fairness, dried fruit isnt added sugar. Its natural sugar and the OP specifically said added. Maybe the OP can clarify the statement.


    If i eat cereal its generally Kashi Protein cereals but i am not sure if they have added sugar or not as i focus more on protein.

    Or you can do a greek yogurt with some granola.

    I suppose. I just said if you want to further reduce sugar one could skip or reduce the dried fruit (raisens). My "recipe" was already free of added sugars so I didn't think the advice about dried fruit warranted a face plant into a table...

    I love just plain Kellogg's Corn flakes. Not because of the no added sugar (I don't monitor my sugar intake) but because it's just good.

    Forget the comment, I don't like the taste of tree bark. So seriously are those pumpkin reeses???

    Ezekiel. Really tasty with warm unsweetened almond milk (or regular if you can drink it). Also great for giving yogurt a healthy crunch or sprinkled on a chopped microwaved apple for a delicious desert.

    Plain Cheerios have very low sugar and low calorie too.

    A lot of dried fruit does have added sugar, so as in most foods, you have to read labels

    Dried fruit is very high in sugar by volume, even though it isn't added. OP specifically said she is trying to reduce sugar to get cravings under control...skip the dried fruit is good advice in this particular situation.

    I agree. If you are trying to reduce sugar, I wouldn't be going for dried fruits.

    Most people who say they are trying to decrease sugar mean added sugar, though. Some dried fruit has sugar added, but you can avoid that, and it has the fiber that many say makes fruit different (plus nutrients). IMO, the main reason to eat dried fruit sparingly is just that it has a lot of calories, but that just means watch volume as with walnuts or many other calorie-dense foods.

    I wouldn't expect a clarification from the OP, since this post is from April 2014. Most of the people being helped by it now are the lurkers and people searching with the same question.

    I like some of the Kashi cereals, but they're so damn hard my jaw hurts by the time I'm done eating them.

    I almost freaked out a little, but then realized they're probably pumpkin shaped Reeses.

    I forgot puffed wheat. Diabetics look out for "no added sugar", and dried fruit would have to be considered.
