    I stick with plain Cheerios. I have very few trigger foods, and sugar cereal is at the top of the list. I can stop after a single piece of chocolate, but sugar cereal? I will fill a solo cup with cereal and overflowing with milk, then when the cereal runs out, i add more to the milk, then it needs more milk, and then more cereal. I can easily eat 2-3 big red solo cups full of cereal and milk that way, so that's like what...somewhere around 5 cups of cereal AND 5 cups of milk.. yeah so.. 1000 calories on cereal. my goodness. i admit i do miss my cinnamon toast crunch coco krispies corn pops frosted flakes, but I have let them go.

    omg, this is me! i can get to 1000 calories easily with cereal and milk. i just dont start cause then i wont stop. its like cake to me.

    all boxed cereal is bad or you. Try homemade granola or steel cut oats.

    I use cereal as a topping for my yogurt - I almost never eat it as my main course. I really like Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus cereal... it's low in sugar, organic, and doesn't have any crazy additives. I used to be crazy about Kashi GoLean, but I've discovered that I'm sensitive to soy and need to stick to cereals that don't add soy proteins.

    I do eat oatmeal as well.. I alternate between cereal and oatmeal in the morning. I"m not asking whether you think cereal is healthy or not, I'm asking for the people that actually like cereal to tell me which ones they like.

    I have the Kashi cereal right now and it's not bad. It's filling but the flavor is sort of bland.

    I eat the Special K Satisfaction on days when I know I won't get much/any exercise because its super low-cal and helps me to stay under my calorie limit. That being said, it's pretty high on carbs so it's not ideal.

    Generally I don't eat cereal in the mornings unless I really have no time, though. Too carb-y for me.

    Kashi. I love Kashi products, although I haven't been eating them since I starting trying to eat clean ... but yeah, Kashi is great because it tastes amazing, has some protein and doesn't give you the sugar spike that most processed sugary carbs do.

    MMMmmm ... I really miss cinnamon toast crunch

    I love Kashi Go Lean Crunch as a snack, and once or twice a week I eat steel cut oats with fruit, or Fibre One Original with yoghurt and honey. All are filling and have some healthy attributes that outweigh the bad.

    My favorite is Grape Nuts, and I recently tried it with Almond Milk- DELICIOUS!!! Although my teeth feel like they're going to fall out of my head if it eat this two mornings in a row...

    Kashi Go Lean!! High fiber, high protein and still sweet. Great with or without milk. =)

    I like plain Cheerios and Wheat Chex, dunno how healthy they actually are though lol ;P

    Sliced strawberries are really good on top of cereal if you get bored of banana.

    The topic is Favorite HEALTHY cereal so I think some of us assumed you were looking for HEALTHY. Guess not! :blushing:

    Kashi Go Lean Original (other varieties too high in calories) with unsweetened almond milk is a favorite. My go-to breakfast, however, is old-fashioned oatmeal with fruit and unsweetened almond milk.

    There are HEALTHY cereals. I'm not talking about Frosted Flakes or sugary cereals made with corn. I don't see what is wrong with whole/grain high fiber cereal that is low in sugar. Anyway, I like cereal, so I"m not going to stop eating it!:tongue:

    Lots of love for Kashi... and I use Unsweetened almond milk occasionally, too... it seems pretty popular here!

    Meh, still don't think there's a healthy cereal. Granola is way too high in sugar.

    I'll go with eggs or yoghurt or cheese or fish.

    ^ This :happy:
