What's wrong with cereal? Let kids be kids for cryin out loud. A bowl of cereal in the morning isn't going to kill them. Just use skim milk instead of Vit D, or better yet the vanilla soy milk.
On that note. my toddler LOVES the frosted mini wheats with fruit in the middle. And my 8 year old willingly picks raisin bran crunch. 2 fairly good cereals.
Yep. Let's up our kids with extra estrogen from soy!
Don't be judgmental!
Seriously, though, I wouldn't give my kids soy milk just because it tastes nasty. LOL!
Not being judgmental, just sarcastic. I was vegetarian for 10 years, vegan for 2. I drank plenty of soy milk in my time. I also had plenty of issues at TOM. Once I stopped eating soy, they stopped. I'm not a big fan of soy because of how it can (and often does) mess with hormones. It's absolutely not something I would do for my kids unless absolutely necessary.
ETA: Two "absolutely"s in one sentence. That's how strongly I feel about it! That, or it's too early for me...0 -
I only buy dye free foods for my family (my son is sensitive to the dyes in food, makes him VERY hyper). I usually buy Kix, Life cereal, Cheerios, Rice Krispies. In the organic section of my grocery store they have organic versions of Cheerios & Rice krispies and you cant even tell the difference, they totally taste the same. The organic obviously cost a lil more but its worth it to me.
Oh Speical K too. My kids love all those cereals I listed!! They are 3yrs &6yrs, both boys. My 6yr old is an EXTREMELY picky eater.0 -
peanut butter cheerios! i am eating them right now and they are delicious!0

My daughter drinks soy because she is allergic to cow's milk. I don't worry about her hormones. However, the plain isn't that great tasting and the vanilla has quite a bit of added sugar (if you're worried about sugar). I tend to be in the let kids be kids camp. She gets treats daily as long as the majority of her diet is healthy stuff.0 -
Scrambled eggs and bacon ...
Oh, sorry, not available in a nice convenient box yet? As you were ...0 -

Well let's not blame hormonal imbalances entirely on soy. If dairies use RBST, there could be an increase of estrogen in cow's milk. I just don't believe in singling out a food for the sake of hypotheticals.
On that note moms, if you give your children cow's milk, then check out the dairies that the milk comes from. RBST is a really horrible hormone that can have harmful side effects on you, and its use is truly an injustice to the cow. Most stores purchase their milk from local dairies so that is the place to start.0 -
Oh my YUMNESS!!! I'll have 3 bowls please.... eeerrrrr I mean just one.... for every meal! LOL0 -
Can she have almond, rice or coconut milk instead? I think they all even taste better than the soy and have less sugar (most of the time anyway)What's wrong with cereal?

Chocolate milk on cereal??? Surely that's a joke? Or is it? I can't tell on here.
We have granola, porridge (with milk / yoghurt / fruit) or branflakes with dried fruit.
Or toast with peanut butter0 -
I trick my 4 year old in to eating healthier breakfast by doctoring it with food coloring. Green cereal is so much more fun than brown.0

Live Strong has a great article with the top ten: http://www.livestrong.com/article/89186-top-kids-cereals/
Thanks for this!! My boys LOVE Life and Frosted Mini Wheats!0 -
They have a gluten free peanut butter Cherrios now..it is wonderful...tastes like Cap'n Crunch peanut butter. But hey it is multi grain Cherrios
So long as there are no artificial dyes in my grandson will be one happy camper. He can only eat gluten free which really limits his cereal options. (As a side note, regular rice krispies are not gluten-free, they have a separate box for that)0 -
Scrambled eggs and bacon ...
Oh, sorry, not available in a nice convenient box yet? As you were ...
Sure it is... In the freezer section.0 -
My kids beg for oatmeal too - I add apples, cin, maple syrup - we don't do most cereals due to HFCS & dyes - we love Kashi cereals, cherrios & cascadian farms. Kids will eat what is available 0

Hi,
My boys who are 7 and 9 love any or all of the following, all healthy options
Weetabix heated with banana
Oat so Simple (especially Golden Syrup Flavour)
Any Oat, Nut and Raisin Breakfast Bars
Homemade Muesli, using Alpen as a base and mixing in more Oats and raisins
Scrambled Eggs on Toast
Loads of ideas that you all can eat which are healthy, when we have more time at the weekends we often make pancakes with wholemeal flour and add in fruit such as blueberries and bananas and strawberries with a little maple syrup for a treat!!
Hope this helps

I've never met a kid that didn't like Cheerios - BUT, if you are worried that the plain are "too plain" Multi Grain Cheerios are great. Honey Nut Cheerios used to be a treat when I was a kid. Oatmeal is a good option - if you have to sweeten it up a lot for your kids to eat it, do it! -- Then gradually back the sugar level down... they will adjust and not even know it.
You could do the same thing mixing regular cheerios with Honey Nut if they don't like regular at first.0 -

Or buy organic milk, it tastes better and has a longer shelf life too! No antibiotics either b/c they don't overmilk the cows. Anyone know why they need to give cows at a mega dairy antibiotics? Because they milk them so much that their nipples drag on the ground in the feces! Yuck!0 -
My daughter eats flavored oatmeal. I know it has a good bit of sugar, but at also has good stuff in it that other dry cereals do not.0

You've been watching too many documentaries! Not every dairy mistreats their cows!0
