    Most of the cereals not aimed at kids are healthy enough. The problem with cereal isn't that it's not healthy. It's the portion size. My favorite cereal is Raisin Nut Bran, but a serving size is 3/4 cup. To me, that's like a bite.

    Guess it depends on your definition of healthy, but I like the Special K brand cereals.

    Special K Chocolate Chunk or Kashi Go Lean Crunch are good but I'm not sure of the calorie/fat content. I don't eat a lot of cold cereal and quite often end up throwing it away because it isn't worth the calories but I would get the Special K and use it as a snack or I like the Kashi in yogurt but not a full serving size.

    Does not exist.

    Okay, okay, I guess if you like cereal you can try Special K and Kashi Berry Crumble, both of those were tasty when I used to eat them.

    cheerios, rice krispies, shredded wheat, fiber one, and total are all pretty decent tasting and do not contain much sugar. Kashi Go Lean is the cereal I eat all the time, but it does resemble cardboard a little bit! ( I don't think so, but my friends wouldn't touch it.) My other favorites are Total's blueberry-pomegranite flakes and Mother's all-nutural "Peanut Butter Bumpers". They both taste amazing!

    I forgot to add that Special K's cereals have a really good selection of flavors, however the nutrition facts aren't that great!

    I love all the honey bunches of oats varieties, and special K with berried or sliced banana on top.

    I love multi grain cherrios and their chocolate ones aren't too bad for you and taste really good. Other than that, try Fiber One brands or Kellog's Antioxidant Fiber Plus. I have never had either of those but have heard good things about them.

    Good tasting HEALTHY adult cereals DO exist.

    The Nature's Path organic, gluten free cereal's are great. More info here: http://www.naturespath.com/products/cold cereals?tid=5&brand=All&nutri=All

    The Crunchy Maple Surprise, Crunchy Vanilla Surprise and Flax Plus boxes contain 110 calories per 2/3 cup serving. I have one serving with a 1/4 cup of sugar-free almond milk, which is only 40cal/cup. So my breakfast only has 120 calories, loads of fibre & protein and I don't feel weighed down because the carbohydrate content is very low for a cereal.

    Define what you mean by "healthy." Most cold cereals are loaded with sugar. There's 4.2 grams of sugar in a teaspoon, so even "healthy" cereals (lots of protein & fiber) can have more than 3 teaspoons of sugar in a single serving.

    I like Kashi 7 whole grain flakes (4g sugar per serving).
