    I'd just take iron tablets if your iron is that low. :)

    Sorry, if I was a wizard, I'd just make myself smoking hot and not have to be on here monitoring my calories and exercise, but since I'm not, everyone has to suffer. >:)

    Stack them to make a straw to drink that puddle of awesome from the bottom of the ice cream bowl.

    Wait wait, I have an idea, grind the iron pills into a powder and sprinkle it on the cheerios. Your eyes will make your brain think the powder is sugar.

    but it wont TASTE better! PLZ PAY ATTENTION!

    I just kept eating cereal without sugar until I got used to it. Now, I can't eat sugary ones, as they no longer taste good to me. You can get used to it plain.

    Isn't the iron in cereal added, not naturally there? If that's the case, I'd just eat what I liked and take a supplement.

    OP has posted here a few times before. She is an extremely picky eater (almost like a toddler), and she has an irrational fear of swallowing a pill, she won't eat Flinstone's vitamins, and she usually refutes helpful suggestions saying that they won't work for her.

    I'm not personally attacking OP, as I'm sure she's an overall nice person, but that is how her threads usually pan out.


    So, basically, she wants us to tell her how to magically increase the iron in the only food she likes.. Sorry, but that's not possible. I'm not a wizard. Sometimes people have to do things they don't like. I have to go to work and pretend to be a people person every single day. I'd much rather just take an iron pill.

    Basically, yes! Or eat a good, bloody steak.

    OP, I reccomend adding fresh fruit (Strawberries, Blueberries, Bananas ect) to your Cheerios! Just a small amount can make your cereal sweeter. However, if you continue to dislike them, I'd search for some Iron rich foods you like more! (Spinach, Seafood, Beans, Peas). You can also try increasing your Iron absorption by adding more Vitamin C to your diet.

    Almond milk is delicious and low in calories. I use it with cornflakes and it gives me a hint of sweetness and is amazing.

    I'd look for new ways to consume more iron so that you can enjoy foods you love! Iron in supplements is a great idea. Also, perhaps you can consume lots of other iron rich foods at other times of the day and your snack doesn't need to suffer. Just because you are increasing your iron intake doesn't mean that EVERY meal/snack must be super high in iron. Just increase overall throughout the day. I'd check me (since I'm not tracking iron), but I think most leafy green veggies have a good amount of iron. Perhaps you can make a salad to go along with your dinner or a green smoothie for breakfast. I enjoy a green smoothie that has berries, spinach, ginger, almond milk, and perhaps a little mint leaves.

    Yeah, I took the humongous ones when I was pregnant. Not super fun, but I'm also not 3 years old, so I did what I had to do.

    Four pages and no one has corrected the misconception that Frosted Mini Wheats need fruit and milk to be good? They are fantastic straight out of the box. They used to be one of my favorite snacks before celiac disease came between us.

    Oh, I miss them.
