Milk with cereal?

I love milk! Nothing can please me more that a cold glass of milk straight from the fridge. I can eat milk with almost any food because I find it so delicious. The only thing I can't eat my milk with is cereal. I think its gross, although I am not sure why. I love eating cereal straight from the box. The one time I ate cereal with milk, my friends mom forced me when I was about 10 and I cried. Does anyone else agree that its gross? Or maybe you just rather not eat it for another reason... I know some people who eat their cereal in other unappealing ways, in my opinion, like with coffee, or even water. Are there other ways you eat it?

I don't care much for milk at all though once in a while i will put in on some cold cereal. I do like to put apple sauce or yogurt on my cereal. I don't much care for soggy cereal and If I put milk on my cold cereal I always seem to have more milk than cereal. I don't believe that milk is all that good for us any way.

My mom always eats her cereal with yogurt as well. She also mixes fruit in with it. Thanks for the response!

HI Ladyhope, I do not drink milk,the only time I drank milk is during my pregnancy. For the sake of my baby, I have to drink maternity milk for the 9 months.I choose Enfamama chocolate flavour.Although I dislike the milk taste,but I have to force myself to drink for that 9 months. Milk with cereal ?? I can't imagine how it taste. I do drink cereal once a while,but not with milk. I bought a ready - packed cereal and just need to add hot water and it can be drink straighforward.

At least you forced yourself to drink it for baby's sake! Do you eat other dairy products or drink soy milk or anything?

Well;it is entirely a person's own choice whether or not they like a thing or not;or eat something or not . There might be something which I do not like ;yet you like . It could be reverse in some cases . So;it cannot be said whether we should "definitely" like one thing or do not like it . Regards

The question is not whether we should definitely like one thing or another, it is what do YOU like? So let me know, how do you prefer to eat your cereal?

I don’t know why I don’t like cereal. So I don’t like put milk and cereal together as my breakfast. I told my husband to me it is junk food or fast food. It’s not good for our body. But my husband said cereal is not junk food and it’s very good for our body. Although it is I still feel uncomfortable with milk and cereal together. In my life I just had very few times taking milk and cereal as breakfast. The main reason I took it was just for curiosity. However at my family we do keep cereal and my husband has it occasionally. I think in past maybe we did not have plenty food to choose so milk and cereal was a main choice for breakfast. Now we have so many choices milk and cereal maybe not popular any more.

I think some cereal is way healthier than others. Its also a very easy breakfast option, compared to cooking something, which is why people eat it. I agree, though, I'd rather eat something other than cereal if i have time.

I am just the opposite of you in this opinion. The only way that I can eat my cereal is when it is wet. I've never been the type of person that drank a lot of milk, so when I was growing up, the milk in my cereal was the main way that I got my milk. My parents always bought 2 percent milk and I thought it was thick and icky. Now, however, I am able to drink milk. When I got my own house I transitioned my family to drink skim milk. It is easy for me to drink so I actually drink my milk on a regular basis.

When you say you like wet cereal, does that mean you would eat it with something other than milk or do you find that gross?

I too love to drink milk, but I also put it on my cereal. However, I know other people who, like you, don't like milk on their cereal. Is it because it makes some cereal mushy? When I'm dieting, I don't consume liquid calories, so milk is not an option. I then mix my Grapenuts or granola with plain yogurt. Very delicious! My aversion regarding milk is dipping anything into it, like cookies. Now that's really gross, especially when the soggy crumbs are floating around in the milk. Yuck!

I love the crunchiness of cereal from the box. It is because it gets soggy that I can't stand it. I agree with the dipping of stuff in the milk also. Except for Oreos. One quick dip before its bitten into makes the oreo just right without leaving many crumbs.

Gas, I have heard of other people eating their cereal with different liquids and even dry out-of-the-box it is really a personal preference. I do not think there is a law that says you have to have cereal with milk although they say it is more nutritionally balanced this way. Quite frankly the way you eat cereal harms no one and particularly does not harm your self, so if this is your only fault I think people should leave you alone.

I love milk but can't agree that cereal is gross with milk. Shredded wheat just wouldn't be as great as it is without being soaked in milk.

I would not totally agree with you, but I respect your opinion. I only agree with you that it is very unappealing to eat cereal with coffee and water. I love to mix my cereals with milk, but only in a matter of seconds because the crunchiness will be gone if it stays in the milk for too long. I love to taste the sweetness of the cereals with milk. I know that some people like to eat cereals right from the box. I sometimes do that especially when there is no milk around. I love to eat cereals for breakfast and snacks in between meals.
