Cereal - do you eat it? What kinds? Hot/cold? Sweet/Healthy? What?

I rarely do, even though I do love it. My favorite is Count Chocula :giggle, but I like the healthy ones, too. I love oatmeal and Cream of Wheat and Wheatgerm and Grape Nuts, but I also love Froot Loops, Sugar Smacks and Golden Grahams.

No Captain Crunch, though. It tears the roof of my mouth up!

What say you, pad hoppers?
 
I love cereal, but only have it about once a week because it's too many calories and sugar, etc. I love the chocolate version of shredded mini wheats. I even got my husband hooked on it and now when I go for my treat bowl on Saturday morning, the box is usually already empty. sigh. :)
 
When I was in college I ate cereal all three meals a day!!!! I LOVE cereal!

I like a variety of kinds....I think Capt'n Crunch Berries would be my fave though!!

I'm not much for sugary cereals, but I absolutely LOVE a good bowl of oatmeal...especially steel-cut oats...seriously YUMMY!!!!
 
I really don't eat it because I hate milk. I occasionally get almond milk and have a bowl, but I really just don't think it is worth it - it usually is kind of gross and sugary. I much prefer a bowl of oatmeal.
 
We usually eat Raisin Bran and Frosted Mini Wheats here. We go through a lot of cereal...I almost always buy it in bulk at Sam's Club.
 
I agree with Heather, it's difficult to find cereal that's not loaded with sugar in one way or another. In the winter I eat oatmeal porridge made with water (or gruel, as I've been told I should call it :lol), but I've never really found a summer alternative I'm happy with. I kind of default to muesli.
 
Peanut Butter Cheerios and Vanilla Almond Special K for the healthy stuff. I'm a sucker for Apple Jacks too!

but I do love me some oatmeal with berries and brown sugar on the days I work from home!!
 
I really like Special K although I've eaten my body weight in Count Chocula and Franken Berry since they came out earlier this month....
 
I'm still stuck on the overnight oatmeal (thanks Laura!) and as it gets cold I do "Better Oats" microwavable multi grain with flax etc. I love them so much I did a page about them!

No, I never eat cereal. I don't like that soggy cereal texture. *gag*

Hubs loooooooooves cereal. He eats oatmeal every day, and when I want to buy him a treat, I will buy him RK or Cinnamon Chex. He will have the box done in a day or two.
 
ancient grains from costco is yummy. honey nut cheerios is yummy too. and, i do like barbara's shredded oats. we have hot oatmeal every sunday morning, too, compliments of DH.
 
I don't eat cold cereal because it makes me more hungry than before I ate it. I do eat oatmeal quite a lot since it is so healthy. I make it with skim milk and add just a bit of sugar.
 
I love cold cereal with no milk. My favs are Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms. I used to be all about the PB Captain Crunch but we can't have it in our house anymore because of Jaxon's allergies.
