Eat the cereal you like, and eat a variety of foods. No single food is healthy or unhealthy, there are just better and poorer diets. It's all about context and dosage.
I eat a lot of porridge with butter - rotate between oatmeal, millet, polenta and semolina.5 -
I like Kashi GoLean (the plain stuff, not the fancier varieties). Very filling, a little sweet, great with blueberries this time of year, with milk or sometimes with yoghurt for dessert. I also sometimes add chocolate chips for a pseudo cookie experience.2

Reese's Peanut Butter puffs.13

This.
I just went through a box of cinnamon toast crunch...it was SO good!3 -
Porridge is kinda top of the list for me4
-
Rice Chex or Cheerios or Rice Krispies and then I add blueberries and banana and milk...YUM. I don't really like sugared cereals anymore.2
-
Check out a brand called Lydia's. They have a variety of high quality sprouted cereals for you to enjoy.1
-
I eat a homemade cereal that consists of pork rinds, cinnamon, walnuts, pecans, and heavy cream. vOv4

Huge bowl of granola with an added banana for me this morning.
Would struggle to think of an "unhealthy" cereal though in context of an overall diet.2 -
Well healthy cereal is really a misnomer... But god do I love cereal, it is just not a filling thing to eat for a breakfast meal for me. And I would like less carbs in mine and more protein, I am always hungry 1 hour later after eating the the cereal portion you can eat without eating 2 - 3 cups of it..LOL
But my cereal of choice Special K Protein (flakes) which is 10 grams of protein and with added milk up to 14 grams or so.
I do love granola (actually a new foodie to add to my list but not the lowest calorie or best thing I can eat for my waistline), but I can easily get out of control on granola..LOL1 -
Best to go for something as unprocessed as possible for something to set you up for the morning without the 10am urge to eat your own arm. I'm a fan of either porridge or unsweetened muesli.3

Thank you for all the advice everyone !! I have alot of new things to try!0

Post Great Grains cranberry almond or blueberry2

I think everyone has a different opinion on what healthy is. I eat Apple Cinnamon Cheerios every morning for breakfast. They're not too bad nutrition wise and they are also delicious.2

Yeah you're right! I never know what to go by I try to watch calories but I also know to watch sodium, sugars and other things so I wanted to know more of what to go for to not pick a totally non healthy cereal0

If that's what you're looking at, I wish you luck. They should just rename breakfast cereals to "dessert in the morning". Almost all of them are sugar loaded to hell amd back, even the "healthy" ones.2 -
Ok thank you now I know to change to something else0

I love All-Bran Flakes. Not the most exciting cereal, but you could always add some fruit if you like. I enjoy it plain though. It's low calorie, low sugar, high fiber. It makes me feel like I'm starting my day off right!1
-
My faves right now are Special K Protein and Fiber One (original/regular). I add blueberries to both. If I have oatmeal it's always the quick oats and add any combination of berries, half banana and/or sliced almonds or chopped walnuts1
-
What is healthy to you? Take a look at your macros/micros to see if you're low on anything and search cereals that might help you reach that goal.
Or simply use some of your discretionary calories to eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Personally, no cereal is right for me. Because it does nothing for me volume, macro, calorie, or satiety wise. It's really all personal preference.2 -
All bran buds with yogurt and berries.2
-

I also watch sodium and I found Cheerios to be the best bang for your buck with sodium, serving size and calories and that tastes good. I've bought so many different cereals and none taste as good. I also like the Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal.

I enjoy all bran buds especially in yogurt or sugar free pudding. Or yogurt and sugar free pudding and fruit. All mixed up. I am weird. What can I say.1
-
Kashi Go Lean - Honey Almond..Omg, it's so delicious!!!1
-
Any cereal is technically healthy as long as you keep an eye on the macros in that cereal and alter your breakfast accordingly. Personally I like wheat cereals with fruit in it [like Just Right].1
-
I don't like too much cereal in the morning because it really does nothing for me and doesn't fill me up. Occasionally I will eat some to fill in a snack though and I prefer Special K red berries.
I also like steel cut oats with a little brown sugar or cinnamon with some bananas.2 -
Plain Cheerios with almond milk and banana slices are great!2
-
My grandson and I are just coo-coo for Golden Grahams1
