I am a cereal FREAK but I rarely have any because it is so expensive. I also can only drink Lactaid milk (I could drink soy milk but GROSS) and that is expensive as well. It just so happens we got some cereal the other day.

What we have:
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Frosted Mini Wheats with fruit filling

The Mini Wheats with fruit filling are new so I wanted to try them. They are ok but I still prefer the blueberry Mini Wheats.

I love both of those but some of my other favorites are:
Apple Jacks
Raisin Bran (I pick out all the raisins, though)
Honey Bunches of Oats
Fruity Pebbles
Lucky Charms

I wish I could go back to Lucky Charm days. This gluten intolerance kills me.

[IceAlisa]

I secretly wish for: Cocoa Krispies.

This thread is so random that it's awesome.

[Kasey]

I'm such a cereal purist. My favorites are plain Cheerios, plain mini Shredded Wheat, Special K.

(I do right now have some lovely natural low sugar granola, that works quite nicely with yogurt and strawberries!)

[LilJen]

I don't eat a lot of cereal these days. it's just too. . . disappointing for me. I do occasionally make homemade granola (whole oats + lots of nuts + a hint of brown sugar, all bathed in an oil+syrup mixture and baked in the oven).

What I want: For "organic"/"healthy" cereals to stop pretending that organic evaporated cane juice is, chemically, anything more than SUGAR. (Yeah, it's organic, which is, indeed, a good thing, but it's still SUGAR!!) Can we have something low sugar that isn't artificially sweetened? Please????

[MacMadame]

What I want: Banana nut cheerios

What I have: Banana nut cheerios.

Good for you!

I hardly ever eat cereal but when I do, it's Crispix or Oatmeal Squares and I consider both a great treat.

[stanhope]

What I have: Granola from the Whole Foods bins

What I want: A certain Sam's Club brand granola that they discontinued several years ago. I still think about it after all these years...but now I can't remember the name.
