Best cereals to buy?

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

I really like Kashi!:)

Do you have to have cereal?

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:

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)

lucky charms
captain crunch

I alternate between poached egg on homemade toast and this:

Nature's Path Organic - Heritage Flakes Ancient Grains - Kamut - Khorasan Wheat - Oats - Spelt - Barley - Millet & Quinoa

Marshmallow Maties! (Malt-o-meal version of Lucky Charms.....MUCH better tasting AND cheaper!)

But really - most weekdays I do 1 c Kashi Go Lean, 1% vanilla flavored milk and 1/2 c fruit (frozen and defrosted so it turns the milk fruity). 345 calories, 22 grams of protein.

Milk without the added sugar/vanilla may be less calories (or soy/almond/coconut milk) but I gag so much trying to force it down they get mad at me at work, LOL.

Here in NC I got Kashi Go Lean on sale for $2 a box yesterday, which isn't too bad. $3 is regular price at Walmart.

I eat either vanilla chex or chocolate chex every day as a snack. Today I got crazy and ate PB cheerios!!

I don't care about the sugar quite honestly. I have a sweet tooth, especially in the morning, and both of these do the trick!

I miss Saturday Morning cartoons that was always the best time to eat cereal. I would go for fruity or cocoa pebbles, captain crunch either berry or peanut butter, and cocoa puffs. OOOO and that new reeses peanut butter cup one.

MMMMMMMMM

Chocolate Fiber one, in plain greek yogurt with cut up fruit

I thought we were friends.

Peanut Butter Whole Grain Cheerios! I love these things. Special K Vanilla Almond is delicious, too, but doesn't fill me up as long. My dad got some Kashi Nutty Chia Flax just because it's Cheerio shaped and low in sodium, but turns out it's delicious too.

Most cereals are vitamin-enriched, so your biggest concerns should be making it fit your calorie goals, finding one that fills you up, and of course taste!
