I'm assuming that Cinnamon Toast Crunch is probably not the best choice unfortunately, haha.

Anyone have any recommendations for a healthy, less sugar-filled cereal choice?

    cascadian farms makes a cinnamon crunch cereal similar to cinnamon toast crunch that has less cals. I also like cinnamon life and the quaker cinnamon squares cereal. I wouldn't say any of them are "healthy" because it's hard for me to limit myself when it comes to cereal. I love sweets.

    Though many people can get in shape with cereal in the morning, most find they can do it faster with less of an insulin spike early. Might behoove you to switch to a higher protein/fat breakfast and save the carby stuff for later :)

    Hi I think oatmeal is a great choice for cereal. The oatmeal that you cook on the stove not the packets. There are some wonderful make ahead recipes think nuts, fruit etc. I think this is an wonderful site with some really great recipes.

    I love cereal! But it just doesn't keep me full in the mornings. So I started eating it at night for like a snack :)
    If I do eat cereal in the mornings, usually I'll eat some kashi original (13g of protein!), fiber one bran, or quaker cornbran crunch (so good!)
    & instead of milk I'll mix my cereal with Greek yogurt & protein powder.

    All the cereal being mentioned is really expensive...healthy sure, but at what cost (no pun intended)? I eat the no sugar/honey version of Cheerios...100 cal a serving and packed with nutrients, I think it's the best choice. I got a super family size box at Walmart yesterday for 2.38 :)

    In for Frosted Mini Wheats (for a high-calorie fix). Balanced and filling with good protein for a cereal.

    For light days I go with Cheerios or Crispix.

    Note: I eat cereal out of a vegetable bowl for dinner frequently... 4 cups is just right. :laugh:

    Best cereals:

    Cocoa Puffs
    PB Cap'n Crunch
    Mixture of Cocoa Puffs and PB Crunch

    Cereal without sugar is like water without wet!

    Kashi Go Lean Crisp with Berries - I put 1/2 c in a berry greek yogurt for breakfast. It's high in fiber and protein and around 300 cal.

    I really like Kashi!:)

    This!^ Several Kashi cereals have more protein & more fiber than other cereals........not all though. Read labels.

    Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon is like cinnamon cheerios....only more protein & fiber

    Kashi Go Lean is great mixed with yogurt, berries & sliced almonds (triple threat......protein, fiber & fat)

    Special K (Original) has good protein numbers ....I add a serving of fruit for fiber

    Oatmeal made with milk and a sprinkle of walnuts.......(triple threat......protein, fiber & fat)

    Almost every morning, I start off with a bowl of old fashioned oatmeal but a couple times a month I have a bowl of Wheat Chex (which are whole grain with a good amount of fiber and taste good to me) for a change of pace.

    No cerial for me, until my weight goal is reached. No cereal in Paleo and while I am not a full Paleo believer, following it sure helps me shake off those pounds fast.
