slo’s THURSDAY 2/27 poll - Bowl Of Cold Cereal 🥣

[NYCgrrl]

Not my idea of fun making it an easy reject when I started paying attention to carbs.

 

[MIGrandma]

I love cold cereal, breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. A nice easy meal. I like Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, Special K the most.

 

[ronandannette]

Had some frosted Mini Wheats this morning. Yum!

The brown sugar kind? It’s one of my favorites and the only sweet one I eat. My other go-tos are Rice Crispies, Raisin Bran and Special K Red Berries. There’s some of each in my cupboard right now. Cereal is a staple for me as a quick meal without any fuss; the ultimate convenience food. I practically lived on it last year when we were renovating our kitchen** and were without cooking facilities. I’ll take a bowl of cereal over a fast food burger any day.

**The cabinet design included a special tall, skinny one just for cereal.

I like cold cereal. I'm not much of a breakfast person, so if I eat it as a meal it is usually lunch. I find that certain kinds also make a good dry snack. That crunch is often a good texture replacement for salty/fatty chips.

I have never been much of a sweet cereal person. If I'm going to have it with milk (always soy milk because I do not like regular cow's milk), Grape Nuts are my favorite. Special K with dried strawberries is my second followed by Rice Chex (store brand). Sometimes I'll have the Chex with fresh fruit, but often just plain. For snacking on it dry, Chex or plain old original Cheerios. As a young kid, I also liked Kix, but somewhere in the mix they added a ton of sugar to it and it became inedible to me.

I like cold cereal, but I have not had it in years.

I have fond memories of Lucky Charms, Sugar Corn Pop, Frosted Mini Wheats, Fruity Pebbles, the Monster cereals - especially Fruit Brute (renamed - Yummy Mummy at one point - what genius came up with that - LOL). They just are not the same anymore - probable all the additives and cheaper ingredients. I also liked Raisin Bran for a "healthy" choice.

But they are all so expensive and unhealthy for you I don't bother anymore.

Part of my other vote. I have to have some kind of fruit added in. I don’t like just plain cereal.

I do occasionally enjoy cereal for breakfast. Reading this thread I'm starting to think maybe my family is right and I am kind of a weirdo about what I like -- Bran Flakes with sliced banana. Never Raisin Bran, can't stand the raisins, even though I like raisins themselves occasionally, but only on their own, never with anything else.

 

[The Mayor]

I have a bowl of Cheerios every morning with either blueberries or strawberries.

 

[evilmommie]

Cereal is alright in a pinch. Most of it is full of too much sugar. I prefer a hot breakfast with protein. Eggs all the way!!!

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

LOVE IT!
I just had some Cheerio Almond Crunch (new) this morning.
I'll have some right out of a box for a snack too.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

The thought of a bowl of cereal with milk

I will eat it dry as a snack sometimes.

OR if I'm gonna have it for breakfast it will be mixed with apple sauce but that's pretty rare.

I used to love cold cereal but it’s been well over a decade since I’ve had a bowl. Now I enjoy cereal bars, especially when I’m dieting.

In my office right now I have Crunch Berries, Reese’s Cocoa Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Homestyle Rice Krispies Treats.

 

[disneychrista]

I have a bowl of cereal nearly every day at work. I’m too lazy to get out of bed early enough to eat breakfast before I go to work. Especially since I have to take medication on an empty stomach an hour before eating.

 

[Moliphino]

I like it for an easy breakfast. Life, Frosted Mini Wheats, and Golden Grahams are favorites.

I recently tried Lucky Charms again for the first time as an adult and I have no idea how I managed to eat those as a kid. The marshmallows feel horrific on your teeth, like nails on a chalkboard.

 

[disneychrista]

The brown sugar kind?

I don’t think this is available in the US, at least I’ve never seen them. Mini Wheats are a favorite so I’ll be on the look out.

Never Raisin Bran, can't stand the raisins, even though I like raisins themselves occasionally, but only on their own, never with anything else.

I also prefer bran flakes without the raisins. Just a little sugar is enough. I also would prefer chocolate chip cookies without the chips.

I'll eat dry cereal as a snack as well - Cinnamon Toast Crunch being my favorite.

 

[Marrila]

I have cold cereal a couple of times a week. I like Kix.

No sugar. Can't stand any sweetness beyond the banana. DH and daughters always insist I'm a weirdo, but I just can't make that cloying sweetness work in the morning, turns my stomach.

I also only eat shredded wheat cereal with banana, can't stand the flavored/sweetened kinds. Haven't had it in quite a while because I never could seem to find it on the shelf and honestly haven't even thought to look for it again in years. I'll try to remember when I hit the store this weekend.

We have tons of kinds. I only ever buy the brown sugar.
