What is your favorite dry packaged breakfast cereal?

Asked by Sunny2 (18842points) June 21st, 2011

There are so many packaged dry cereals on the market. What is your favorite? What, if anything, do you add to it? I like a mixed grain cereal (almost any kind) that doesn’t get too soggy. I add dried blueberries, miniature chocolate chips, a little sweetener and skim milk. Pretty good and it makes me feel virtuous.

I love variety. I couldn’t do the same cereal every morning. My most frequent is Shredded Wheat.

Honestly? Count Chocula.

I eat Oatmeal.

Shredded wheat, the full size bicuits, not the sweetened bite sized garbage.

Right now it’s Kashi GoLean (not the “crunch” kind), with blueberries and slivered almonds on top. Whole milk.

Oatmeal or shredded wheat.

I’m terrible.

It’s Kix, with Rice Chex a close second.

Count Chocula rocks. It turns your milk all brown lol. I also love Golden Grahams.

Just one? Impossible to answer with just one.

Wheat Chex I guess if I had to pick one for the rest of my life.
Special K
Frosted Flakes
Honey Smacks (yum, I am going to buy this next now that I am thinking of them)
Wheatina hot cereal

Those would be my top 5. There are at least 5 others I like a lot.

All are eaten with skim milk, 1% is a huge treat, but very rare.

I don’t add anything. I tried adding extra raisins to raisin bran and the raisins were too sticky. When I was very little I added sugar to cheerios, but I would never do that now, and I don’t buy cheerios anyway.

Honey Bunches of Oats are great. Personally my favorite. They’re actually good..and when I eat them I feel like I’m actually eating something healthy for me. (:

@LindsayMarieee13 That’s about the only thing we eat at my house.

I love cereal!

Grapenuts and Kellog’s Raisin Bran are my two favorites, but I occasionally indulge in Kix or organic corn flakes. There is an organic cereal that looks like Kix, but it has a peanutbutter flavor to it and I can’t recall the name, but it’s oh so yummy. I secretly like Captain Crunch, but I like it better as a dry snack, it gets too soggy when you put milk on it.

All of the others I eat exactly how they come out of the box, but with Grapenuts I add chopped walnuts and dried cranberries. Yum!

I don’t like sugary cereals at all and I never put sugar on my cereal. My least favorite cereal of all time is Frosted Flakes, for that reason. Too sweet!

I like Rice Crispies, but I do not like puffed rice at all. It tastes bitter to me.

I make some killer cookies in which I melt chocolate chips (or organic chocolate bars) on the double boiler, then I dump in som Kix or Corn Flakes, add some dried cranberries and some chopped walnuts, then drop them by teaspoonfuls onto a waxed paper (or parchment paper) covered cookie sheet and stick them in the fridge, just until they set up. Then you can take them out of the fridge and eat them or put them in a ziplock bag. They’re super-healthy if you specifically use organic dark chocolate and organic cereal and everybody I’ve made them for has loved them. And they’re very easy to make. You can probably melt the chocolate in the microwave, but you have to keep an eye on it so it won’t burn.

Ooh Grapenuts, I love grapenuts.

Since this is in social I’ll take the time to tell everyone the history of cereal, because I like the story. I’ll give the very short version. The Kellogg brothers ran a sanitarium in Michigan. They were Seventh Day Adventists, believed in a vegetarian diet, and that grains, cereals, were very healthy, and fed them to the patients. CW Post was convalescing there, and thought the cereals would be a great product to market to the general public, and so he did. And, there begins the competition between Kellogg’s and Post. The end.

Ordinarily, I wouldn’t share something like this…I don’t approve of glorifying the “N-word”...but this is hilarious and it is about cereal so…
