I hardly ever eat cereal, but when I do it is Special K.

But, my favorite sugary cereal is Waffle Crisp! Yum!

I know Madformac already said he doesn't drink milk, but what about everyone ese? How much milk do you put on your cereal?

I like a splash of 1% myself. Probably not even enough to go halfway up the cereal bowl.

For me it depends on the cereal. Life - I like it crunchy - so I just splash a little milk on there - I fill up my bowl a bit more with mini-spooners.

Otherwise - I use about a cup or so. And I drink skim, only skim

I like a just enough milk to coat my cereal. And, I only like skim milk for my cereal.

Honey Bunches of Oats (w/almonds or strawberries)
Cracklin' Oat Bran
Both Cocoa & Fruity Pebbles
Raisin Bran
Spoon Size Shredded Wheat
Grape-Nuts

Actually, just about anything with "Bran" in the name.

Cheerios for me, all the way, every day. Just the plain stuff in the yellow box. With a little bit of skim milk. I even have pajamas with Cheerios on them. Hubby calls me "Cheerios-Girl." How did he come up with that one?

What's your favorite cereal? My favorite is Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries ... it's the perfect cereal. Crunchy, sweet, tart ... Yummmm! I haven't been eating a lot of it lately, though, since I'm trying to lose some weight ... so it's Kashi GoLean Crunch for me!

Ooh, I like the honey bunches of oats. I haven't had that in awhile. I've been doing the bran thing for awhile now. I know, I'm old. Stoppit. I used to love the really sugary stuff, like Lucky Charms and Count Chocula. And Cinnamon Mini Buns! Have you ever had those? Good stuff. I've really gotten away from the sugar, tho, so I think if I were to have those cereals again I'd either get super hyped up or keel over.

Mmmm. I love brown sugar oatmeal. I used to add extra brown sugar, heh. I'm getting hungry!

DrummerDeanna · #40 08-01-2006, 05:23 PM

You know what I love most about Honey Bunches of Oats? The commercials. I LOVE that black lady who yells things like "WE MAKE A LOT OF CEREAL HERE" and such. I don't know why, but I enjoy her.

I do like the cereal as well, but it's just not filling to me - so I end up eating more than a serving - which is bad. That's my problem with a lot of cereals - which is why I like more weighty ones.

sara1998 · #41 08-01-2006, 06:51 PM

OH the cereals I love:
Cocoa Pebbles
Fruity Pebbles
PB Cap'n Crunch
Honey Nut Cheerios
Frosted Mini Wheats
Banana Nut Crunch
Honey Combs
Cracklin' Oat Bran

I enjoy it all with lots of 1% milk.

carrie721 · #42 08-01-2006, 07:10 PM

Yay, I'm so glad everyone's willing to discuss cereal with me!

I love you guys!

Re Paula's milk question, I usually like to put enough milk in the bowl so that I can see it through the cereal ... that's usually the right ratio for me. Now that I'm really watching what I eat, though, I usually have 1/2 a cup of milk with 1 cup of cereal. It's too much milk for that amt of cereal, but eh.

In other news, I started going back to the gym today and I feel like a million bucks. Well ... maybe not a million. But I feel good.

skcin · #43 08-02-2006, 11:11 AM

^ I finally got my ass back on the elliptical last night. it was hot as hell, but I do feel better.

Hey - what cereals do you guys hate? I refuse to eat anything "fruity." Tastes to chemically to me. Froot Loops are the worst, and I also dislike Fruity Pebbles. But Frankenberry & Booberry are fine, for some reason.

I'm with the poster who likes frosted mini-wheats (the vanilla creme are delicious!) I also like warm Grape Nuts in the winter, I know, I'm weird.

Sugary cereals are the best although I never eat them. Cocoa Puffs are great and does anyone remember Cookie Crisp? Do they still make that? Man, I used to love that as a kid.

Livia · #45 08-02-2006, 12:46 PM

I like warmed up Grape Nuts too. And oatmeal with brown sugar.

Yes, I remember Cookie Crisp! Remember Quisp?

I use enough milk to give me a few sips of what's left in the bowl when the cereal's gone.

Lactose free-fat free for me.
