Weetabix... how do you eat it?

either banana ones with cold milk, or plain Weetabix with butter (no milk!)0

I used to pour hot water on it as a kid, drain it off and then add a ton of sugar. I'd probably add the water still, skip the sugar, and have it with some berries. I forgot how much I enjoy Weetabix!
Like this minus the sugar. Or break them apart and add milk and a little brown sugar.0 -
Two Weetabix with enough cold milk to make the biscuits mushy, plus so much sugar that the entire thing was sparkly and crunchy! That was my daily summertime breakfast while I was growing up. Winter was Ready Brek with hot milk and just as much sugar!
BTW I was a thin kid.0 -
I put just enough milk to half-soften them, then add greek yoghurt and fruit/dried fruit on top. Nom nom.0
-
As soon as they absorb the milk I cannot tolerate the texture without gagging.0

I always used to be like that with them. I only got over my fear of soggy weetabix quite recently when I was pregnant with my eldest and addicted to the stuff.
I still prefer them with yogurt poured over them rather than milk. Milk is too wet. I love the syrup ones best with toffee yogurt on them.As soon as they absorb the milk I cannot tolerate the texture without gagging.
Can't believe that people can cut them in half. I can't get mine out of the packet without them disintegrating!

I'm going to try with Greek yogurt next time I think!0
-
I always pour milk over them put in the microwave for 1 minute and then add sugar. As a kid that's the only way I knew and when I saw my father eat weetabix with cold milk it totally blew my mind he was eating it cold lol0
-
I have mine with warm milk and flavoured syrups or protein powder! mush it all together and it tastes like a dream!

Ok I found my favorite way... Dry with some Greek yogurt on it (been using Oikos triple zero, going to stock up on Petite Creme from Stonyfield for that purpose now). So good, and pretty filling, all things considered.0
-
I used to eat it soaked with milk as a kid... found out there are a lot of more creative ways to eat it... I bought a box today - what do you suggest I try?
I don't eat them, but my son is a soaker. Hot and cold, depending on his mood when he wakes up. I've heard they are good with yogurt and berries.

Funny ... I just had some now. After not touching them for months.
3 Weatbix (they are only tiny ... 58 cal each) + 1 cup of low cal almond milk + a squirt of low cal maple syrup.
They were OK. I could have probably gone for 4 or 5 to be filling, but OK.0 -

Yeah with the yogurt they fill me up for 2 hours or so, lol (that's with the fiber yogurt too).0 -

I actually did debate about adding yogurt ... maybe next time.
BTW - that's 58 cal for the Australian variety, I don't know if North American ones are different? From the photo early on in this thread, they look a whole lot more substantial. I went to pick one up, and it entirely crumbled. You've got to be really gentle with these Australian ones or all you've got are crumbs.

No it's the same amount of calories here, but mine stay together pretty well as long as I don't try to squish them. I don't even use milk, just yogurt, so they stay crunchy.0 -

I might try that.

Thanks to this thread, I bought a box. They're 65 calories each, and sturdy: whole wheat, barley malt extract, cane sugar, salt, iron, niacin, thiamin hydrochloride (B1). 2g each protein & fiber: http://weetabixusa.com
Edited to add I'm unexpectedly out of milk, so I ate it like a piece of toast. It dropped crumbs with every bite, but stayed in one piece.0 -

The US website has recipes for putting them in baked goods, coating fish or chicken, or topping apple crisp: http://weetabixusa.com
Thanks for the recipes! Will have a look.0 -

I'm telling ya woman... Go 6 or go home
I don't know if I mentioned it, but my 5" nothing 75 year old skinny little mum has 6 every morning, has done for years.
And yeah, the American version looks a lot more dense than our crumbly ones.

Ours are as though you got a bunch of bran flakes and pressed them together while they were wet. Then when they dry, and you go to pick them up, flakes drop off everywhere. Ours are flaky.
They look like this ... and those are maybe 10 cm long.
