i have a serious love of breakfast cereal, it used to be captain crunch, honey smacks, lucky charms etc. i'm trying to act at least a little my age and switch to a lower-sugar cereal. i've been eating Kix and Kashi Indigo Morning for a couple months now, and i wanted to know what's good and pretty healthy in your breakfast cereal world? i'm into crunchy, puffy-type cereals

    I like rice krispies. Lol.

    But for healthy, nutritious cereal - I like oats topped with fruit!

    I like the Kashi Crunch with a banana. It reminds of an old cereal, I think it was like Smacks or something. I know there was a frog on the box. :) I also like a vanilla granola kind from Trader Joes.

    Edited: Honey Smacks! You mentioned it in your post. Guess I should have read better.

    I've not had cereal in a while but the last brand that I really enjoyed and kept me satisfied for the entire morning was Nature's Path Optimum Power Blueberry Cinnamon Flax.

    The best part about Nature's Path is it's GMO-free.

    I eat Speciak K with strawberries and add a banana or the Vanilla Almond kind is really good, too!

    Kashi cereals are excellent. Many (not all) have a good amount of fiber & protein. Kashi Golden Sunshine is like a low sugar Cap'n Crunch

    Kashi Heart to Heart is my fave .... like cheerios (only ... with more fiber) .... also in a cinnamon variety

    Special K (original flavor) has a good amount of protien .... I have a piece of fruit alongside (for fiber).

    I'm a steel cut oatmeal fan too... I usually mix in powdered peanut butter (protien powder works too).

    My favorite is the Reese's Puffs cereal. After that, it would be either cinnamon Life or peanut butter Capn Crunch or Cocoa Pebbles or Cocoa Puffs.

    It's hard to pick. Honestly, I get whichever cereal is less than $2.50 a box.

    honey nut cheerios or honey bunches of oats. If the milk isn't sweet afterwards, I don't like it.

    Nature's path organics oatbran/ flax plus multigrain flakes. Only 4g of sugar and 5g of fiber. And they taste good too. I only have them once in a blue moon though.

    I like pain ol' wheat bran flakes with a bit of sugar. I tend to stay away from the kid's cereals. I am capable of consuming an entire box of Lucky Charms in one sitting.

    I have come to only eat oatmeal, I think any others are empty carbs. My favorite is Better Oats (maple brown sugar) I think it is only 90 cal or so and very yummy.

    I am crazy about Fiber One's new 80 calorie honey squares! http://www.fiberone.com/products/cereal/80-calories-honey-squares

    I also love the new flavors that Cheerios has out - in particular, the peanut butter ones. Yum!

    These days, i only have muesli, Ancient Grains or Red River. There was a time when i swore up & down that i would not change my cereal selections and loved every kind possible. Then i realized i had to be more adult about my choices if i actually wanted to lose weight and get healthier.

    Key factor: i used to have 2 huge unmeasured bowls of cereal for breakfast. Now i measure out my cereal to one bowl of the recommended serving size (or less) on the side of the box.
