Help I'm @ Von's and need lazy girl breakfasts for myself and my family when we are on the go. Can you all suggest any cereals???! I'm reading labels but this is taking FOREVER.

    Kashi cereals generally have more protein & fiber than a lot of other cereals. Special K (original) has a decent protein count too.

    I mainly look for whole grains, because I don't like the fiber additives (inulin aka chicory root)......some Kashi's & "flavored" Fiber One's do have that.

    I go for protein enriched cereals, weetabix protein crunch or fuel 10k protiflakes. Don't know if you can get them in the US though.

    Special K Protein. Add raisins and it's like raisin bran.

    I eat this Kashi variety every morning with a handful of blueberries and a scoop of this flavorless whey protein mixed into 1 Cup of skim milk every morning that rolls.

    Have for the past year. It's been great!

    I use Cascadian Farms Honey nut O's in the morning... or if you obviously don't want organic, you can do regular old Cheerio's. I'm not one for sweet things in the morning, it just hurts my belly. But i do use cereal as a snack mostly. And i have no problem using Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs or the like. Just remember to actually do the proper servings, most cereal's i see tend to stay in the 100-130 calorie zone.

    I like Weetabix with dash or two of cinnamon. I can find it at Meijers in the states. I wish I could find the chocolate flavored one to try.

    I eat raw rolled oats with some nuts and seeds for cereal. That's cheaper than all of those options, has way less sugar and chemical additives, and probably more protein and fiber, too. And it's just as convenient: Put in bowl, add milk, done.

    I don,t know if you can get it in the US but I have Goodness foods better 4u digestive. It is made from barley max and was recommended by a sports dietitian. I add blueberries a scoop of Chobani yoghurt and skim milk. It keeps me full till lunch time but after a morning weight session I also have a protein shake.

    If you have Shredded Wheat where you are, that's a good one. Like chewing a small bale of hay, but in a good way. Keeps me full.

    Also Shreddies. Like little roof tiles made of malted wheat.

    But I'm conscious that breakfast cereals vary a lot from country to country.

    I either eat GrapeNuts mixed with Oatbran (not perfect, but one of the very few prepared cereals which isn't crammed with sugar) or unsweetened Muesli.

    I used to like the Nature's Path line of cereals. Hemp granola, Mesa Sunrise flakes, Vanilla Sunrise, and a few others. Even the kids line is pretty good (Panda Puffs).

    It's what you add to cereals that add nutrition. The cereal is the carb. Milk or yogurt add the protein. Fruit is tasty and adds vitamins and more fiber. Nuts add a little fat and a little protein. You can save time by batch preparation and storing in the refrigerator. I like making up a batch of oatmeal either the refrigerator kind (soak overnight), or batch cooking oatmeal. I have a little station of add-ins for my oatmeal every morning.
