What kind of cereal do you like? My favourties are Kelloggs Special K, but it has to be the one with fruit in it, like strawberries. I also like Whole Grain with three different fruit in it, stawberries, blueberries and raspberries. I also like to add a banana to my cereal. I love bananas when absorbed in milk. So what kind of cereal do you like and eat for breakfast? I eat it anytime of the day not just for breakfast. How about you? Do you only eat it for breakfast?

Chocolate Chex and Cinnamon Life are my favorites. And no, they're not just for breakfast, I eat them anytime of day as well, often as a late evening snack.

Weetabix (the stuff that Americans are still undoubtedly trying to work out how to eat!), Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, Muesli and when I was younger I was mad about Coco Pops. I also have weak spots for bran flakes and even all-bran!
I could eat ceral all day long, it's great.

I love cereal, but usually when I buy it, I eat it too fast. It's also more expensive than the oatmeal that I usually buy. I love the Special K with Strawberries, but I eat it up within a day or two, so I don't buy it. I eat cereal several times a day, but mostly it's oatmeal.

I take rice as the main food everyday one, actually from when I was born till now.
Sometimes I will have some food made by wheat, like bread, noodles, and cakes. But rice is still the main food.
I think taking cereal is good to health for it contain a lot of fibre in it which can help strong our stomach. But cereal is hard to prepare. So it takes me a lot of time to prepare it.

I am a muesli man myself, I eat muesli every day! I never get tired of it, I have Sainsbury's own make or Alpen, but I find Alpen very expensive and besides Sainsbury's is full of nuts and coconut which Alpen doesn't have. I can eat cereal any time of the day and not just for breakfast, occasionally I will have Crunchy nut cornflakes for a change. Sometimes if I am not that hungry or not in the mood for cooking then I'll have a bowl of cereal instead, cereal is very filling and a healthy alternative too

Lately my favorites have been Grape Nuts, Shredded Wheat, and Rice Krispies. I usually like to add raisins or banana to my cereal. I eat it for breakfast, nighttime snack, or every once in a while for lunch or dinner if there's not much in the house and I don't feel like cooking.

I like frosted mini wheats. They help fill me up until lunch most days. If I do get hungry, I'll eat a small snack like an apple or something.
Some days, if I'm in a hurry and don't have time for cereal, I eat the Quaker breakfast bars. My favorite are the peanut butter and chocolate chip. I'll eat one in the car on my way to work then eat another one as a snack a little later in the morning.

I love Honey Nut Cheerios. I am not a big fan of the other Cheerios flavors, just the Honey Nut flavors. I eat them any time of the day. I am a great one to eat a bowl of cereal right before I go to bed or in the middle of the night. I do not like any fruit in my cereal. I like to eat fruit beside my cereal.

My new favorite is multi-grain Cheerios. I like it with milk or just out of the box for a snack. I even have my 6 year old eating it as a snack.
My oldest (11) finally asked for grownup cereal - Rice Krispies the other day! Thankfully, no more of the chocolatey, too sugary stuff. Unless it is Cocoa Puffs, my childhood favorite.
The girls and I would be content on eating cereal for dinner some nights, but Dad loves a regular meal. LOL
My girls now even grab cereal and milk as a snack!!!

One of my favorite cereals in Special K with strawberries. I also like Honey Bunches of Oats. I used to eat lots of cereal a few years ago and I would eat it at all times of the day. Then suddenly my stomach didn't like milk so much anymore.
Sometimes I like chocolatey cereals like Count Chocula or fruity ones like Fruity Pebbles.

IAt the Dollar Store - I buy Malt-o-Meal's equivalent to Lucky Charms (Malties I think) Nutrition is healthy, next to no calories and no fat or sat.fats has fiber and really the only calories you have is what's in the milk. And to make them even better, is there is about twice the marshmellow bits as in Lucky Charms! I priced LC in the store and for the same size box, it is $3.25 for lucky charms vs. $1 for the Malt-o-meal brand.
But I do like Special K - with the berries or yogurt or pecans and I got them at Kmart for $2.50 a box. Those are pretty good for a dry, tastless flake that they are. But just enough flavor in the extras to let you eat them for the healthy reasons! Nothing worse than dry, tasteless flakes!
But if it was favorite no matter what... I'd choose Fruit Loops!

Honey Nut Cheerios are the favorite in my house. Everyone else eats theirs only at breakfast time on the weekends, but me....I eat it for late night snacks usually. I'm not much of a breakfast person and mily early in the morning makes me sick but late at night while I'm watching television is the perfect tiem for me to grab a quick bowl.

I really like Lucky Charms it has always been my favorite. My daughter likes them but she eats all the marshmallows out of it and leaves the little grain parts.
I do like honeycombs too they have a nice sweet taste to them.

I absolutely adore cereal. I call it the anytime meal, because I'll eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and pretty much for any kind of snack. I'm still a kid at heart, because I love the stuff like Fruit Loops and Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms. I like a few grown-up cereals, too, like Special K Red Berries and that Honey Bunches Of Oats stuff. But mostly I love the ungodly sugary stuff.

My favorite cold cereal would have to be Rice Chex. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course as a snack whenever I want it. My favorite hot cereal would be the original malt o meal because it makes me feel all warm inside. I can have one serving of it and not feel hungry for the rest of the morning.
