I could eat cereal 3 meals a day. My absolute favorite is Special K with strawberries. I know its not the best thing to eat all the time but its nice when I need a quick snack. I have mine with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Im a couponer and got a ton (10 boxes) of Kashi Go Lean a couple of weeks ago but have not moved on to it yet. I only got 2 kinds. The honey almond flax and the berry. Im thinking the Kashi has got to be the better option since I am seriously lacking in protein and it is higher in protein than Special K. I read on one of the threads about someone putting the Kashi in unflavored greek yogurt. Anyone tried this? That would be something I would eat too!

    I am absolutely a cereal addict----The Wal-Mart brand if my favorite---It's called Strawberry Awake--but I love the Kashi one as well. I like it with Skim Milk--but mainly because I have never tried Almond milk of Soy----Is it really good??

    I like the almond. I have never tried the soy. I didnt think I would like the almond because I am a milk drinker but its good.

    I'm obsessed with cereal. It's relatively low-cal and there's a million varieties and the majority taste great! The only problem is it causes me to overload on carbs. Lately I just don't care, though. Can't let go of my Kix with almond milk <3

    I love cereal too, but you have to check the label carefully, some is very high in sugar.

    Huge cereal fan...used be that I would end up with too much milk, so added more cereal...then of course too much cereral so added more milk...then the box was gone.

    Now I use a food scale, measure out in grams in the bowl, add skim milk and I am done. (one portion...I think something like 53 grams...kashi go lean...not the crunch...but I sometimes have the berry..yummy)

    I am addicted to just plain cherrios or frosted mini wheats. :smile: I use either plain soy milk or vanilla soy milk. YUM!

    I love cereal and have a hard time weaning myself off... just bought a box of Life although my favourite is actually plain Cheerios. However, Cheerios are good if you want milk with something crunchy in it - they don't actually fill you up.

    It is shocking how much sugar even the "good" cereals have. I compared Froot Loops to Raisin Bran and Bran Buds once and couldn't believe they were almost the same.

    I agree, Cheerios are amazing. And I have no control over them...so I stay away. I have no problem with Kashi Go Lean, and I think it has to do with the protein in theirs.

    Back in the day, I go zoom through an entire box of Cheerios. Now they make all kinds of tempting flavors...that's very mean. :sad:

    For you Cheerio lovers out there...stay far far far away from the new Multigrain Cheerios PEANUT BUTTER. It's absolutely delicious!! The thing about it is that a serving size is 3/4 cup instead of the usual 1 cup. Hmmmm....maybe that's what's for breakfast tomorrow. The only time of day where self control is somewhat good. If I were to have it as a snack tonight, I would finish the box off.

    Mmmmmm, multigrain cheerios..... Cinnamon toast crunch...... Frosted mini-wheats..... OMG I could live off of cereal. I used to eat it like 2 big bowls at a time. NOW, I try to restrain myself. I actually will NOT eat it for breakfast any more - I need protein with my breakfast or else I'm hungry again in an hour. I DO have it for snacks sometimes, but I will actually pull out my kitchen scale and pour out 28g (or whatever the serving size is) and snack on it dry. YUM. I use my kitchen scale so that I KNOW the serving is accurate.

    OMG YES! And it's only become an addiction this past month! I've been eating Multigrain Cheerios at least once a day since January 1, I don't even know why?!?!

    My wife and I have a huge stockpile of cereal. I coupon and get it nearly free. I prefer the lower sugar kinds, while she likes the sweet kinds. I love how with the low sugar cereals you get a huge bowl for relatively few calories. BTW, the new Dulce de Leche Cheerios are awesome! My absolute favorite cereal is corn chex.

    Ooh, I love cereal. In fact, I just dug into the box of Captain Crunch Berries as a snack, no milk. :-) I really shouldn't have, but I'm gonna go work it off on the Wii, so. :-)

    I usually only get the (pseudo) healthier kinds - and generics - the honey nut cheerios, crispy rice, the chex-type, etc. But every now and then (usually on a great sale) I'll get the more sugary kinds - Life, Captain Crunch, cocoa puffs, apple jacks. I've been on a Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes kick lately. I love the strawberry Special K too, but that has to be name-brand...the off-brand has a funky flake taste, to me. I won't do generic corn flakes/frosted flakes either.

    It's more carbs than I need, I'm sure, and way more sugar, but....I just love it. I love my milk, too.

    One of my favorite treats was to pour a big bowl of one of the basics, add frozen blueberries, then pour the milk over so it freezes up. And then add a splash of vanilla creamer. Mmmm. I'm not sure I want to waste the calories on it now, though! Waaaah!

    I love Cheerios with Banana, great with 2% milk but also very good as a dry snack.

    I do like eating cereal! :)

    I havent eaten it in a long time....but I recently (2 days ago) I just went and boguht some at Walmart. I have never eaten it before, its called Nestle Fitness and the other one is called Nestle Fitness-with fruit :) Hopefully I will like it too.

    I have never been a huge fan on Cheerios, but anything else I like, most of the time. I like all the calorie and sugar filled cereals, like Cocoa Puffs, those Mini Wheats, any Kelloggs.....yes, I definitely enjoy eating cereal
