breakfast cereal for adults and children???

what about cheerios? theyre not bad...I think...or maybe honey bunches of oats, or shedded minis.

In my house we rotate between Cheerio's and Rice Krispies. We don't add sugar to our cereal and my daughter loves them both. I think it's just what they get use to.

We like the Multi-grain cheerios. They're excellent to take with us as a snack, too. I often put in blueberries or raspberries. And my 3-yr old loves oatmeal. He'll eat it plain or with a smashed banana added.

If I am ever taking in big carbs its cocoa crispies!

Shop at Whole Foods or somewhere sililiar. They make store brand cereals that are kid friendly without all the added garbage.

Kashi Go Lean Crunch! has a good sweetness and with frut added tastes even better! My kids are loving it.

cherrios, frosted flakes (in right portions they are fine), rice krispies, chex and sometimes i slurge on something sugary and sweet like trix or cocoa pebbles but they can only have it on the weekends. they love it. it's like a reward for being good all week.

Hate all you want, but this man knows his cereal.





On another note. If you're looking for cereals with possibly better macro breakdowns for most peoples diets. Kashi Go Lean is pretty decent.

My kids love just plain wheat chex with strawberries or plain rice crispies, but sometimes i will sneak them a bowl of Puffed Brown Rice cereal and they love that too. I add stevia to them or agave nectar for sweetness. Of course, my kids eat pretty healthy at all of their meals because that's how my household is.... so, if they have Cocoa Pebbles once or twice, ya know, here & there.. then it's really no biggie. They know it's not all the time and since my boys are old enough to read (they're 7) then we look at nutrition labels together. That was a major thing for me. I never see kids read nutrition labels and I never read them until I started all this getting healthy business. We don't look at packaging because it's just an advertising lie (I work in advertising so I taught them the tricks that companies use to make the package look pretty but the stuff inside is crap). Then, when they were younger (4-5 yrs old), it was a game. "Help Mommy find the cheese with the smallest number on Fat. Who can spell the word Fat? Ok, good.... now check some cheeses and we'll see who wins". They would scour the cheeses for the lowest fat and then we would compare other stuff and talk about it. Kids are way smart and very helpful in my opinion.

Cheerios with fresh fruit for that sweetness they like. Bananas, strawberries and blueberries work great. Or Total cereal with fresh fruit is also good.

Just ate this. :P

You can always sweeten cereals with chocolate milk. It makes the so-called healthy cereals easier to stomach.

I give my daughter Special K with Strawberries.

One, because its got good grain, not tons of sugar and she is a strawberry addict. So it
works well for all of us.

She even likes HOney bunches of oats - as long as it doesnt taste like STRAW (KASHI), she'll eat it.

Cereal is awesome! Just show your kids what a true serving is and not just fill the bowl to the top. Side it with toast, juice or fruit and you're good to go. Eating right isn't about eating blah food, its about moderation. Eating one bowl is okay of any cereal, its when that one bowl turns into three that it is not so good.

I've just started eating Fiber Plus Antioxidants Caramel Pecan Crunch (but they have lots of other flavors, too). It is very tasty, made with whole wheat. It is healthier than most and is sweet enough that I think even the kids would like it.

Don't let the boring name fool you, it is quite good!
