Do You Still Eat A Packaged Cereal For Breakfast Or Something Else?

@spiderdust when you consider I just paid 57 cents per dozen for eggs and cereal usually costs at least $2.59 you have just said a mouthful. I try to have cereal on hand when the grandkids come, but then I bake up a variety of muffins, with healthy stuff. They prefer the muffins.

@GardenGerty You can make a lot of muffins for the price of a box of cereal!

I gave up those cereals a long time ago and recently I gave up breakfast as I'm not hungry in the morning. I was eating because everyone was saying how important breakfast is but if I'm not hungry then it is not important for me. In fact it is 3:30 and I will eat in a few minutes. I am starting to get hungry a bit.

@Luap1050 I agree with you. We need to do what keeps us healthy. However, the boxed cereals are not the best foods for one that wants to stay healthy.

I rarely eat breakfast now but if I do I might have a Weet-bix. Some breakfast cereals are full of sugar and there has been a lot of negative publicity about how unhealthy some are.

@MALUSE never tried cottage cheese and honey, but it sounds like a good combination. While Im a coffee drinker mostly, at night I go for a good Earl Grey a few times a week

I grew up fighting over Lucky Charms. Now its oatmeal. The oatmeal arrives in a 25 pound bag so I guess I am a super meanie about Kellogg's workers.

@Luap1050 Oats are dry. We buy big bags of that and lentils and wheat kernels for flour cause its cheapest and a pain to have to constantly go buy more.

I always have some Trader Joe's cork flakes or imitation Honey Nut Cheerios around. But I wouldn't mind eating fun stuff like Trix or Lucky Charms, so long as they're not all "healthy" and tasteless now. Give me my chemicals!

My afternoon snack is usually cheerios&milk. I'm a diabetic, for I need one carb/one protein food. No, I don't eat other cold, prepared cereals any more. Oatmeal is a better choice, for me.

bulk Oatmeal - obviously not the prepackaged sugary stuff - is a good choice for sure . My wife used to eat a lot of Cherrios , ..I don't mind them occasionally as well

I have lots of Cheerios, cause oats are supposed to be good for your heart. I have them, yes, but seldom eat them. I am more likely to eat my own homemade granola. My favorite breakfast is eggs scrambled with veggies.

Now that you mention it I cannot remember the last time I had a packaged cereal, it is definitely going back years. I remember the days when I used to dive into a bowl of sugar puffs or Frosties or even Cornflakes. Those products are still around, I think. No, now I have taken a completely new approach and I have two boiled eggs every morning and that is a routine that I have stuck to for some time now. Are cheerios still around? I think it might be nice to try some of those with a bowl of ice cold milk!

The package cereal has to much sugar. I have the same thing everyday. I have a small glass of juice with apple cider vinegar in it, 1 hard boiled egg, and 2 pieces of garlic toast. The vinegar helps keep my sugar in control and the garlic keeps the blood pressure down.
