Topic: Cereal Lovers Only

Quaker Oatmeal Squares (Cinnamon flavor) is my main go-to cereal these days - low sugar-ish, with decent fiber and protein. To make it healthier I'll put chopped strawberries on it, or banana, or somtimes sprinkle uncooked, plain instant oatmeal on top with cinnamon. And, I only eat cereal with almond milk anymore. If people aren't into almond milk, I get it. But, in adulthood, I realized I was tired of tasting the slight burned tasted of pasteurized milk - that's honestly a joke tasting the pasteurization. Also, I'm totally over needing sweetness/sugar from milk. So, I was surprised I ended up preferring almond milk to cow milk. Also, I think almond milk is a great cheat for shaving calories off of eating cereal. (None of my talk about almond milk is a put down of cow milk. Wanting to cut suguar from my diet, replacing cow milk with almond milk was great substitute.)

@TheJGG Sometimes I use the Reese's Puffs on top of plain shredded wheat. But that cereal does taste amazing. (Actually, in the US here, Wegmans grocery store has their own generic version of Reese's Puffs for half the price. It's amazing. If Wegmans stopped making it, I'd go back to Reeses.)

And Frosted Chocolate Mini-Wheats with almond milk makes for healthier alternative if I have junk food cravings. Frosted Chocolate Mini-Wheats have a decent protein, fiber, to sugar ratio compared to full on junk food. Going off memory, I think it's like 6g fiber, 11g sugar, 6g protein.

@bimmy-lee I am thinking it was maybe a cost cutting measure not to make the marshmallows lime this time around. General Mills uses marshmallows in alot of other cerals other then Frute Brute and to only produce a lime marshmallow for a few months a year, not very cost efficient. Either that or maybe feed back when they brought it back years ago.

I never had Yummy Mummy when I was a kid, my parents wouldn't allow us to have the sweet cereal, it was usually corn flakes, raisin bran or Kix. I wasn't even able to have the Nintendo Cereal, I only got to have it a few times and that was when I slept over at my friends house.

I didn't have Yummy Mummy till a few years ago when they brought it back. I was hoping it was coming back this year when I saw Frute Brute was back, but again maybe because of the marshmallows.

@WoomyNNYes have you tried the strawberry frosted mini wheats? They’re really good

It seems more likely that you can trademark a made up word like frute whilst you can’t claim ownership of the word fruit.

@Eel I haven't. I've been seeing them for a while, but they aint chocolate!!😠 (😁) Thanks for the recommendation.

Bought Pokémon cereal & Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch today. Should get me through the next couple weeks.

@RR529 the Halloween crunch is great. Although, it doesn't taste any different than the OG crunch. I just love the green milk. Nearly finished with my box and I'll crack open the boo berry next.

@NintendoByNature, I haven't eaten any Cap'n Crunch in years, so I'm sure the Halloween variant will still taste fresh enough to me.

I was going to get one of the "Monster" cereals, but unfortunately our Wal-mart didn't seem to have any in stock whatsoever unfortunately.

@RR529 Oddly I haven't been able to find the Monster Cereals at all this year at Walmart. The only place I found it at that I shop at regularly is Winco.

@Tasuki, yeah, out local Wal-Mart had Boo-Berry & Franken-Berry two weeks ago (no Count Chocula though), but absolutely nothing this week (just more Cinnamon Toast Crunch where they were).

Lately I having been enjoying the hell out of Marshmellow Fruity Pebbles. I bought a box the other day and scarfed it down so I went to get another box. Couldn't find it but I found the generic store brand version which is just as good.

I'm not a fan of fruity cereals. Chocolate, Honey, Corn are where my tastes are.

@Kermit1
Chocolate, Honey and Corn sounds like Bananarama song's title (Love, Truth & Honesty) 🤭

Finished up the Pokemon cereal yesterday. I don't eat too many fruity cereals (it was "Berry Bolt" flavored), so it was a nice change of pace. That, & the Pikachu and lightning bolt shaped marshmallows were cute & a nice treat.

I just ran out of my Halloween cereals. Need to go back and buy some more stuff. Might try chocolate frosted flakes Halloween edition or fruit loops Halloween edition.

@Anti-Matter lol I just got recommended that song 2mins ago

I honestly thought, once I uttered the g-word in here, the flood gates would have to open.

What is even wrong with you people?

Are you even people?

C'mon!

@gcunit if you get Gassy then I’d recommend switching to lactose free milk

Frosted Flakes and strawberries is the best fruit cereal combo, Cheerios with banana slices is a close second.

I bought some frute brute while supplies last. Might have a bowl tonight!
