What's your favourite cereal?

Bambi985 · 04-10-2017 06:38PM #1

After about two decades of not eating breakfast and not being a "morning person", I've been making a real attempt to wolf something down before heading out the door recently in the interests of not entirely subsisting on coffee for half the day.

Holy jesus, how good is cereal though? I've been through Cheerios, Special K (bleh at best tbh), honey loops, crunchy nut cornflakes (HOLY MOTHER OF GOD YES) and am currently mid way through a box of coco pops and actively open to suggestions for my next fix.

What's your favourite cereal AH?

Crunchy nut corn flakes. Morning, noon and night.

tomwaterford · 04-10-2017 06:39PM

Cornflakes and banana slices lately

osarusan · 04-10-2017 06:40PM

Not a big fan in general, but some brands of granola are nice.

hairyslug · 04-10-2017 06:41PM

I have recently returned to granola and it's sweet nutty goodness.

Ol' Donie · 04-10-2017 06:41PM

Rice Krispies, man.

Shame milk makes me feel absolutely manky, cos I sure do love Rice Krispies.

Bambi Would you ever think about a bowl of porridge and maybe a cup of tea with a little bit of bread

I think porridge has the texture and taste of cement so probably not. Bit of tea and bread sounds nice though

fryup · 04-10-2017 06:46PM

oatbix nice and mild

Rubberchikken · 04-10-2017 06:46PM

Sometimes porridge. Dont like cereal. Too sweet.

All those are sugar laden ****e

Im a porridge fan myself

Throw in one weetabix, and then fill the bowl with equal parts - rice crispies, cornflakes and country store.

04-10-2017 06:49PM

I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops

_Kaiser_ · 04-10-2017 06:49PM

Depends.. I go through phases - this week it's Crunchy Nut again.. last week was Weetabix, week before was Frosties

I'll eat it any time of the day too.

Atoms for Peace · 04-10-2017 06:52PM

Am I the only one that eats kellogs Ricicles? The're literally balls of sugar coated air.

Jimbob1977 · 04-10-2017 06:57PM

If they were healthy.... Sugar Puffs.... but they're not.

Band of Brothers, must get dyslexia checked soon.

EPAndlee · 04-10-2017 07:09PM

I absolutely loved Honey Loops and Golden Nuggets

agree, Organic Flahavans Oats are fairly decent, don't even bother heating them up, dash of honey and all set.

Would avoid all that other synthetic junk, was shocked to see 'lucky charms' (thought it was a joke) and a multitude of other artificially-multi-coloured cereals for sale over the pond, no wonder they've major issues with ADHD.

And on the isle next to it a whole entire row dedicated to again, artifically coloured sugar laden 'pop' drink bottles. Sure what's wrong with aul simple drink of structured water vibrating at 430.65hz.

Hate the way people have to point out that sugary cereals are full of sugar - years ago most people would have been happily oblivous to this instead of being such informed killjoys. At some point between their childhood and now they realised with sadness that the cereals they actually like the taste of were full of sugar and bad for them and so to stop other people from getting to feel the joy that was taken away from them, they felt a need to tell those who still ate them how unhealthy they are. They also aim to make up for the satisfaction they dont get to experience from eating nice tasting food, with satisfaction from making other people feel inferior for eating junk food and getting to feel more informed (even though it isnt admirable to be informed nowadays since unlimited information is available to all on the internet.)

I would rather eat stuff like frosted/cocoa shreddies for breakfast every day but to avoid getting fat I eat bland low-sugar stuff like porridge or shredded wheat.

Coco Pops & I'm 35.

Sue Pa Key Pa · 04-10-2017 08:11PM

Cornflakes, hot milk & sugar

RhubarbCrumble · 04-10-2017 08:15PM

Aldi fruit and nut muesli. The one in the purple box.

Despite information available a lot of people are oblivIous to crap and in particular sugar in cereals

I regret ever eating cereals but as a kid I didnt know any better

Make porridge with milk, add in berries, fruit, seeds etc and its pretty decent so its not bland at all

Rubberlegs · 04-10-2017 08:24PM

Tesco Strawberry Crisp is my favourite at the moment, or their nut granola. I can't stand milk so eat them with yoghurt and some strawberries and raspberries. Porridge too, unreal if you add chopped dates to it before cooking it then throw some nuts and raspberries/ banana on top.

LirW · 04-10-2017 08:25PM

Frosted Cornflakes. Only rarely but then I could murder for a bowl.
In general I'm not a breakfast person though.

Sugar is the new smoking. Take your pick: Obesity (Ire is quickly becoming the fatties of the EU), diabetes, poor liver function, slow metabolism.

Taste doesn't necessary equate only to having added sugar. A nice fat steak covered in butter is probably better for you than that can of cola with 9 spoons of sugar in it. Yes fat is better than sugar, you will most likely get fatter by eating extra sugar, not actual foods that are high in fat.

If that all seems too complicated, then stick to JERF – 'just eat real food'.

Taylor365 · 04-10-2017 08:32PM

Shreaddies.

Low sugar content and they break up the porridge monotony.

Golden Grahams were my fave as a youngster!

The end of a box of Kellogs cornflakes hand crushed soaked in avonmore milk
