Good morning, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a yummy yet healthy breakfast cereal? My husband's very picky about his food, and is used to having cereal for breakfast and/or as a snack, but I've got to get him off the sugar junk he currently calls 'cereal' - LOL. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    My picky husband likes Rice Chex and Crispix. Not sure on the nutritional value of either. Oh, and my sister in law likes Multigrain Cheerios, says they taste sweet, but doesn't have all the sugar the others have. Hope this helps some

    Kellogg's Product 19! I I love it - it's crispy, tasty, and has a lot of your necessary daily vitamins and minerals! Perhaps I'll pour myself a bowl now :)

    I love Special K protein plus. I was raised with even adding sugar on my already sugared cereal. I do not add sugar now and can taste the sugar in cereal that is not even considered a sugar cereal. It might take a little while to get use to but pays benefits in the long run. I add some walnuts sometimes and it keeps me full until I eat lunch at 1pm.

    LOL (he currently calls cereal) Now that was funny! Good luck with changing the hubby's eating...I tried for years to get mine to eat different. That was impossible. It has to be their idea. My hubby finally joined the "I want to change wagon" and he is down 31 pounds, but he had to have the will. It's nice having him wanting to be healthy with me.

    I LOVE good, old fashioned oatmeal. It makes me fuller too. But that is me :):drinker:

    Kellogg's Special K, Vanilla Almond. It turns your milk into Vanilla milk so you get a special treat when you're done w/ the cereal.

    Smart Start with Anti-Oxidants is good....name sounds awful, but it is actually quite delicious and crunchy. I also use Total Raisin Bran as an alternative.

    I'm a HUGE Cheerios fan. I was eating the Multigrain Cheerios for a while. Only 100 calories for a whole cup. Good for fiber and such too. Now I've been alternating between Chocolate Cheerios and Banana Nut Cheerios. Where have these cereals been all my life? Hahaha... its 100 calories for 3/4 of a cup, but still good on fiber and so worth sacrificing a 1/4 of a cup for the yumminess.

    My personal favorite is Kashi Go lean there is the crunch and the high protein/fiber but not sure that a picky person would like it. I also really like multigrain cheerios it is sweet better than the regular cheerios.

    My favorites are Kellogg's Special K and Cheerios. They both have a variety of flavors that you can pick from.

    I looked at every cereal I could find and this one to me has the best balance of protein, sugar, and fat of all of them. Excellent start on my protein goal of the day.

    Steel cut oats.

    Most of the commercial cereals out there on the market are nothing but sugary junk carbs.

    this is a trick on how to eliminate and it works great for kids . Mix the sugary cereal with a healthy cereal gradually add more good stuff and less bad soon it will be all good. You can do it with milk to go from whole to skim, fruit yogurt to plain. Mix salted with non salted to cut salt in half you can take your time but it works Good luck

    Can't beat a bowl of porridge in my personal opinion, maybe with some honey for sweetness.

    But for a "crunch" I like Special K, or good old Cornflakes :)

    I eat Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus & add 1 tbsp of each of the following, golden raisins, chopped walnuts & hemp granola with skim milk or almond milk. The cereal is filling, the raisins sweeten & the granola gives you energy Plus the walnuts (or almonds) are good fat.

    Kellogg's All Bran Strawberry Medley. It's delish. Even if it is a box cereal full of "sugary junk" and not just plain jane steel cut oats.

    I say at least it's not Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

    hi there..

    a few good choices..the Kashi brand "Heart to Heart", is a good one..also, Barbara's Honey O's (think that's right)..they have less sugar then Honey Nut Cherrios, and good dose of fiber.

    with a serving of fruit and low-fat milk (or soy or almond milk - my fav), this should hold him over.

    My first choice is old-fashioned oats. My second is plain old regular Cheerios.

    Cheerios, or good ol' Kelloggs Corn Flakes with a banana cut up in there and 1/2 a cup of 2%. This morning I had Crispix with a hald serving of almonds swimming around in there, and that was good too.

    I love my Honey Nut Cheerios! Also any of the Special K's are awesome...I especially love the Chocolatey Delight & the Vanilla Almond!

    Kashi has an array of cereals. some have better nutritional values than others, but all of them aren't too bad. for a picky eater, i would recommend the 'heart to heart' cereals or 'go lean Crisp!'.

    special k is also very tasty, but once again, its not the best nutritionally. (its better than fruit loops though!!)

    There is a line of products called "Barbara's" that's organic and all natural. i like the shredded spoonfuls and the Puffins (there's peanut butter flavor! :love: ) the cereal is pretty expensive, but it does really well nutritionally.

    i hope this helps.

    Kashi Honey Sunshine with fresh berries. Its so good and I guess its kind of like Captain Crunch but not so sweet and waaay healthier.

    I love Kashi Go Lean Crunch and Go Lean Crisp. I also love the Fiber One Honey Clusters. If you really want to pull the wool over his eyes, go for Fiber One Caramel Delight cereal. It could totally pass as junk, but it has lots of fiber and some good nutritional value. I'd start with that, and then work in some of the others. :) Put it in one of those Tupperware cereal containers, so he can't see what he's eating, LOL.

    I'm a sucker for kashi golean. Lots of fiber, lots of protein. Cut up a banana and toss in some whole milk and you've got one heck of a sturdy breakfast. As a bonus its not too sweet, not too bland, just nicely in between.

    Cracklin Oat Bran is very good and has good amount of fiber.......

    I'm in love with Barbra's Bakery Puffins cereal. I found it on sale this weekend at Whole Foods and can't stop eating!
    The original is only 90 calories for one serving (3/4 cup). There's also peanut butter, cinnamon, honey rice, multigrain and a bunch more called "wild puffs". It's all natural and super tasty.

    Fiber One Honey Clusters are my favorite. A single serving is low in cals, high in fiber and it is actually sweet, so it feels like a treat.

    I like just about any of the Kashi cereals... but I have always loved my Cheerios - Multigrain are my fav.
