My favorite is probably strawberries but then I put strawberries in almost everything I can. I especially like Special K with the dried ones in it and their actually very good tasting. If your a strawberry lover have you ever tried it?
Of course now all the cereal makers are coming out with fruit in them and I'm surprised to find that their not bad. I don't like the dried bananas though.
Other than strawberries I like bananas and blueberries in my cereal. If your a cold cereal eater do you like fruit in it and what is your favorite?

i also prefer to add some milk and sugar to my cereal rather than fruits. at times i add some chocolate flavor like ovaltine. we always differ in our food preferences.

I love blueberries and I put them in cereal a lot! I also like to add strawberries or banannas. (not all three at once!) I also add fruit to hot cereal such as oatmeal and/or cream of wheat. I am not a fan of the cereals with the fruit already added, somehow the fruit just doesn't taste the same to me in those cereals!

Definitely not getting the same from dried fruits as we do from fresh ones. Not to mention how much better they taste!

I don't often eat cereals, but if i do i tend to buy the oens that already have dried fruits in them, rather than buying fresh fruits to chop up and add, simply becuase i don't have the time to add fresh fruits to my cereal in the morning, and also becuase we don't go food shopping too often so don't have much fresh fruit in other than apples, and also becuase unless the fruit i wanted to add was in season it would be too expensive for my budget to buy fresh fruits in.

Even chopped up apples are good in cereal if you get the time to do it real fast. It makes for a tastier cereal.

not the dried ones though,i agree,they're kind of nasty like that.

I also put fruit in raisin bran. Everything goes well with raisins. I also love blueberries when their in season and only fresh.

Peaches or apples always go well on my cereal, I prefer this option to sugar.

Fruit is always better than sugar. There is enough most fruit for it not to matter.

Cereal is horribly expensive but a new grocery store has opened near me where it's more than 50% cheaper than other stores so I'm stocking up.

No, I did a post on this to see if I was the only one, but I HATE fruit. It taste terrible to me and it kills my stomach. Now my girls, they love fresh banannas or fresh blue berries in their cereal. Hubby he loves strawberries. I just think they are all nuts, LOL.

I eat fruit in my cereal sometimes too. I like using bananas and strawberries. I've never tried any other fruit in my cereal before.

I've also tried the fresh apple slices and love them. There's no need for sugar when I use fruit.

I love sliced fresh bananas in my corn flakes. And raisins in my raisin bran (but of course it comes that way, I don't have to add anything.) Mostly, though, I stick with a hot cereal -- oatmeal with raisins, apples and cinnamon.

I only eat oatmeal in the winter and even then I'll put in fresh bananas or strawberries. I could never get into the instant oatmeals and especially don't like cinnamon but the raisins are great.

Please don't get me started on pancakes! I put everything you can think of on them and then smother them with whipped cream! Now I'm getting hungry! lol

As for me, I would not prefer fruits of any kind with cereals . But my young daughter likes it ..she has a liking for plantain fruit with either breakfast or lunch.

I'm all about the sliced fruit in my cereal. I think this is because I hate smothering it in granulated sugar, the only exception being porridge, which I think needs it. My favourite fruits to use are strawberries and bananas, sometimes both at the same time. I also love the cereals with dried fruit in, especially Fitnesse. x

I always put bananas on my cereal, I love bananas it makes the cereal taste that much better, especially on the healthy cereals but if I put bananas on I never add sugar only bananas and its a healthy alternative to sugar, though I do find the bran cereals sweet enough you dont need sugar.
