Calling all Cereal Connoiseurs!! What are some healthy AND t

I'm a big fan of the Kirkland Signature Cinnamon Pecan cereal that I purchase at Costco. It is not a low-fat, low-calorie cereal, but it is low in sodium. What drew me to it honestly was the calcium content-- I don't do very well with most types of dairy, so calcium is something I struggle with. One serving of the cereal all by itself packs in 70% of your RDA of Calcium, which I find amazing, along with a substantial amount of protein, fiber and iron. I generally eat about 1/3 of a serving according to the box's definition of a serving. I'll use it as a topper in my yogurt a lot of mornings. It's really delicious too.0

I love Total Plus+ Omega-3s Honey Almond Flax. Not only does it taste really good, but it's the only cereal I've found so far that actually keeps me from feeling hungry a couple of hours later.0

Fiber One Honey Clusters.
MultiGrain Cheerios!
Special K - minus the protien kind. It looked like a box of scabs. =[0 -

I don't normally eat cereal, but when I get a craving I'll eat Kashi GoLean. Esp Toasted Berry Crumble in unsweetened vanilla almond milk (40 cals/cup) mmmmmmmmmmmm
I'm not big on the milk alternatives, but I definately give two thumbs up on the Kashi GoLean. My only complaint on Kashi is the calories. Taste and nutritional value of Kashi is superb though!
When I'm hurting for calories, I go with Multigrain Cheerios. Love those too.
My cereal kick came about because my cholesterol was a little high, but I have come to love my cereal and oatmeal.0 -
Another vote for Kashi GoLean.0

my favorites are kashi go lean honey almond flax, basic 4, cinnamon cheerios, raisin bran, and kix. All these are tasty and give you a decent nutritional value for the calories. There are a lot of cereal that are mainly empty calories.
One note on cereal, I usually measure my cereal with a dry measure cup and decided earlier this week to weigh it out on my food scale just for the heck of it. I am glad I did, i have been over serving myself cereal for years. If you have a food scale I suggest you weigh it out a few times to see what a serving size in weight looks like - and then weigh out what you would normally dry measure for yourself - I guarantee there will be a difference that is not insignificant calorie wise.0 -
Fiber One Original with fresh blueberries and Greek yogurt. Low cal and satisfies me for hours.0

I like to switch my breakfast around and use Almond or Coconut Milk.
I have found Ezekiel 4:9 has a few cereals to choose from but I like the original with flax.
I also have Millet puffs that I add flax seeds and a banana or blueberries.
Bob's Red Mill 100% Whole Grain - 10 Grain Hot cereal.
Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes that I have used as a hot cereal.
When I don't have cereal I like to have my eggs & Ezekiel 4:9 low sodium or Spelt toasted and either cantaloupe or pineapple on the side.0 -
Yes, my vote is also for Kashi GoLean! It really packs a nutritional punch with 140 cals/cup, 13g protein, 10g fiber, and only 1g fat and 6g of sugar! A lot of people complain that it lacks flavor...I do admit that it doesn't taste as sweet but its because there isn't much sugar in it (which is a good thing!). But if you add some blueberries (or any other fruit you prefer!) and maybe a dash of cinnamon, you get a perfectly power packed and tasty bowl of cereal! I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk as well.0

Thanks for all of your awesome suggestions!!! I am looking forward to trying them out.0
