    MMMM love plain Cheerios. The Apple Cinnamon ones are pretty good too. Hubby loves the Honey Nut. I'm sure it also helps us to love Cheerios because we live in Buffalo, where Cheerios are made. Our city smells like Cheerios :-)

    You're all wrong. I still haven't seen the right answer.

    Fruity Pebbles or GTFO

    I like mine with coconut milk! Usually the unsweetened vanilla variety. I try to avoid sprinkling them with sugar (SO good, not so healthy though) but the coconut milk is sweet enough and still low in calories! :)

    I still can't get an img tag to work for me. What about sour gummy vitamins? Who doesn't like sour gummies?

    Am I missing something here? Cheerios are sweet already, sugar is the biggest ingredient after flour. Who on earth adds sugar to pre-sweetened cereal? Is there a different recipe outside of the UK or something?

    Maybe food-based solutions aren't the answer. Get a Mirena IUD and reduce your monthly iron loss. I bet that will at least cover the difference between regular and Honey Nut Cheerios.

    I'm just wondering what OP's diet looks like with all this cereal, but no milk/dairy because calcium impedes iron absorption. Where are all the non-iron nutrients?

    a kid will eat plain cheerios gladly, but grown-up whines that they're not sweet? cmon now. why don't you eat food that naturally contains iron, not as an additive? Body will probably get more out of it that way. or, supplement - problem solved

    I think Cheerios are really sweet. If I had them I'd be tempted to eat them out of the box, on their own. Same for shreddies.

    Eat the cereal you like though.

    +1--Eat the Honey Nut Cheerios if you like them better and get your iron from an iron supplement. Or eat more red meat.

    Plain Cheerios are vastly superior in taste to the cloying gross honey nut ones. So say I.

    If you want to increase your iron, eat more beef and dark green veg like spinach, kale, and broccoli. Cereal is just a bizarre thing to use as an iron boost.

    Add a few dashes of cinnamon and a sliced half of banana or peach.

    There is only 10 calories of difference between the two, (honey nut and regular). I bought some frosted Cheerios yesterday that has 100 calories per serve, same as the unfrosted original variety.

    Are you able to add sugar to the Cheerios, I don't know, are you?? If you're wondering if the sugar will just fall to the bottom of the bowl, that's quite likely, I suppose

    What I do for eating fruit like oranges and plums is to actually dip em in a little bit of honey first. Yum. I like the yogurt idea. You could also squeeze out some of a low cal whipped cream and take a tiny little bit with each handful of Cheerios. Mmm now I'm gonna have to try this snack

    I think the point of those saying you should power through it is that you're essentially taking the food as a drug to correct a medical issue. A legit option is to chomp down on a serving really fast and chase it down with whatever you like - just like you would a pill. Tada! Iron deficiency fixed
