Listening to my neighbors talk, I am surprised how many serve cereal for dinner on a regular basis.
I guess with many dual income families, there is not someone home to cook a meal and cereal is a quick dinner when both husband and wife arrive home tired from work.
It depends on the cereal. Most cereals are sweet enough without adding additional sweetener, and sometimes the added fruit sweetens it enough as well. Since I eat most cereals dry, it’s not really practical to add sugar.
If I'm eating fruit in it, that goes on the bottom. Then cereal, then milk and I eat it right away. Fruit on the bottom helps lift some of the cereal out of the milk so it gets soggy more slowly.
No sugar or fruit because I am diabetic. Which is why I eat a lot of Great Value O's which have zero grams of sugar. Cherrie O's have 2 grams. I am cheating this week with Crispx with 5 grams of sugar. Oh, and I use Fairlife filtered milk which has 6 grams of sugar instead of 12 like regular milk.
