We all love a bowl of cereal every now and then, and I am looking for the best cereal's out there. I have always eaten Honey Nut Cheerio's, i know the regular ones are better but I find them so bland. ANy recipes to spice up regular Cheerios?

And other good cereals that are tasty but not full of sugar and are low in calories? :bigsmile:

    Use vanilla Almond Breeze instead of milk. It is yummy

    You are best to go with a granola that has oats or something. Honey Nut Cherrios are empty calories and you will find yourself to be hungry not long after breakfast. There are some great, easy recipes out there for granola, and if you add dried fruit it's awesome!

    Also, if you use the Almond Breeze (which is so good by the way), you could try the unsweetened Vanilla or Original, it has less calories, however, it resembles milk a little less because it isn't as sweet.

    My favorite is Kashi Cinnamon Harvest. I also like Kashi Vive and Special K with bananas or strawberries. I LOVE so add a little dark chocolate syrup to a bowl of cheerios. Just enough to turn the milk a little brown. It's soooo good. And you can't just use chocolate milk. When you put it on top of the Cheerios, it soaks into some and stays even after you mix it in, so you get a little extra explosion of flavor once in a while. (My dad started me on this when I was a toddler!)

    Okay, off my soapbox. I think I have an addiction to chocolate :)

    I usually have my Cereal with some low-fat yoghurt, that spices it up a bit :smile: Currently my fave cereals are Rainbow Kauratyynyt (Google them if you wanna, great cereals made of oat) and my fave yoghurt to go with that is banana.

    Sometimes I have my cereal with milk and some fruit or berries, that's delicious as well. Also jams work, but they're usually full of added sugar.. so I tend to skip jams.
