Cereal

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

RIP Cylons' Dream of Cookie Crisp Goodness.

I'll just make a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies this weekend, cut some up into chunks, drop 'em in a bowl, pour milk over them...

I'm drooling on my keyboard now.

Froot Loops, Rice Krispies Treats and Honey Nut Cheerios were always my go to cereals as I was growing up.

I never cared for cereal. Also, doesn't seem like a good breakfast for kids. All that sugar.

High fiber and dietary cereal is quite filling, however. But still, a bowl of it will have almost up to 30 grams of sugar.

[Utrommaniac]

Breakfast is something I tend to struggle with in general, and I'm not entirely sure why that is.

[plastroncafe]

No I get that. I'm not the kind of person who's hungry first thing in the morning. And if I eat something with more sugar than protein, I get sick to my stomach. So...no fruit alone for breakfast.

Or most cereals marketed towards kids.

I used to be a HUGE cereal killer back in my younger days.

Although I don't eat as much cereal as I used to, I'll occasionally enjoy some Honeycomb, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Golden Grahams, Corn Pops, and during the Halloween season, Count Chocula.

I REALLY love Life cereal though.

I've always wondered why so many people can't bring themselves to eat in the morning/after waking up. It just seems odd not being hungry at all after hours of sleeping.

[DisKosh]

I only eat cereal when I have an early shift at work later.

Oh and I have it dry.

[IndigoErth]

I eat it dry as well. Not usually much of a cereal eater, but like some kind of adult I've been snacking on Fiber One Honey Clusters lately (which flavor wise actually kind of reminds me a little of Golden Grams). Also had a box of berry something or other by Kashi.

My less healthy one at the moment is the Girl Scouts limited edition Thin Mints cereal.


There ARE some old ones I remember the names or commercials for from long ago I kind of wish they'd bring back. Cereals like Crispy Critters that was originally made in the 60s but had a short comeback in the 80s, and Ice Cream Cones cereal. Both of which I think I may have had just once.

Eh, it just usually takes my stomach a while to even wake up. Once in a while I'll wake up hungry, but its rare. Usually I don't feel like eating until after I'm already at work so I just tend to take some kind of breakfast bar or something easy like that with me I can grab real quick.

I'm not really too fond of most common breakfast foods anyhow. The easy stuff is too sweet, esp in the morning, and other stuff is too much of a hassle. The cereal I have right now (after not even buying any for a long time) is more of an evening snack.

Not a big cereal fan most of the time- I lived on it far too much as a kid and got burnt out on most of them. My faves? Honey Nut Cheerios NEVER gets old, I enjoy 4, Honey Bunches of Oats, and I still like Golden Grahms and Cocoa (or Fruity) Pebbles once in a while.
