    Kashi cereals are generally awesome. :smile: Favorites are Go Lean Crunch and Go Lean Crisp... not much for the original Go Lean. Love the Mountain Berry Granola, but I can eat WAY too much of it, so I try to avoid it. lol

    For a change and sort of a "treat", I like Special K Red Berries, Vanilla Almond, and Chocolatey Red Berries. But, I don't find them as filling or long lasting. Tasty, though.

    Oh, Cascadian Farms has some good ones, too! I just bought their new "Berry Cobbler"... omg, delicious.

    Steel cut oats with either cinnamon, or a little butter and salt and pepper. Once in awhile, hulled barley cause it pops in your mouth!!:tongue:

    All boxed cereal is not bad for you,where did you get this information from :huh:

    Shredded Wheat and plain mini shredded wheat and bran do not have ANY sugar in them,0.

    So far that is the only cold cereal I have found that has none and has no other fake ingredients whatsoever.

    I know this because I have basically read the NI on every box of cereal in regular grocery stores,I am sure there would be more in health food stores.

    Honey nut cheerios or any of the post honey bunches of oats - one cup of cereal and 1/2 cup of 2% milk is a great way to start off your day and there full of vitamins....

    Arrowhead Mills and Nature's Path both make quite a few varieties of "puffed" cereals with nothing added- just the grain itself. A bag is only $2 at Shoprite/$2.19 at Whole Foods, here atleast. I like the millet and kamut best, but they make puffed corn, wheat, and I just bought a bag of puffed barley but haven't tried it yet, I've heard they make puffed quinoa but I haven't seen it anywhere :(. They're good to add volume to a bowl of calorie dense cereal/trail mix/homemade granola/protein bars etc because they're pretty low calorie; millet puffs have 60 calories per 16g cup(1g fiber 2g protein), kamut puffs have 50 cal/cup(2g fiber 3g protein). Super plain, not particularly crunchy either but a good base for add-ins.

    Kellogg's All Bran Wheat Flakes, it's the only cereal other than oatmeal that I will eat!!!

    The All Bran "buds" are good too:)

    Cinnamon toast crunch

    Edit- didn't realize it said healthy. In that case, never ask me.

    the answer is always cap'n crunch. sometimes, feel free to switch it up. add crunch berries. maybe go to peanut butter. but never forget the cap'n.

    I started mixing chia seed with my yogurt. The protein in the yogurt along with the "expanding" chia seeds (react with water to help you feel full) helps me keep going all morning. Instead of all the carbs in the cereal, the chia adds that crunch like cereal.

    My favs are shredded wheat, shreddies, stone ground oats with apples and cinnamon(crock pot), vector cereal, and the flaky ones like corn flakes, Special K or rice crispies. I don't actually eat cereal very much though.

    Is there anything better than Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

    Except maybe Frosted Flakes. Good god. I have, on more than one occasion, consumed an entire box of Frosted Flakes in one sitting. The milk leftover in the bowl could throw a normal man directly into a diabetic coma.

    I am no normal man!

    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.

    It's like we're twins or something. The only cereal I can eat without doing too much damage is rice krispies.

    Here are my favorites:

    Cheerios
    Honey Nut Cheerios
    Quaker Oats, Honey & Almonds Natural Granola
    Quaker Oats oatmeal (maple and brown sugar)

    I usually have oatmeal 5-6 times a week for breakfast with a banana and some other seasonable fruit (strawberries, 1/2 apple, plum, cutie). I have granola on Saturdays.

    They changed their recipe for Quaker Oats maple and brown sugar so I bought as many as I could (about 1.5 years worth if I have it 5 times a week) of the classic recipe.

    Healthy cereal???

    Is there such a thing??

    I'd go with granola..

    i don't like sugar in my cereal so that takes most of it off my menu.

    PS.. total has a lot of otehr stuff in it.. it's not as healthy as you think.. maybe not every type of it.. but a bunch of it.

    Granola is always sweetened with sugar or honey or something.
