Favorite Cold Cereal?

If you eat cold cereal with milk, what is your favorite? My favorite is Quaker Oatmeal Squares, with a touch of brown sugar. That is the original kind that has been in the grocery store for quite awhile. They added another flavor that has a touch of cinnamon, but it is not as good as the original kind. I like the way the cereal crunches. It is good with 2 percent milk or almond milk. But, it can be eaten alone as a crunchy slightly sweet snack. It is easy to carry along if you put some into a zip lock bag and put into your purse, to snack on as you go. I ate some for breakfast earlier today. That got me to thinking about how it was my favorite and would be a good topic to ask about on MyLot.

I just use ordinary oatmeal, add some pumpkin and sunflower seeds and let soak in milk for about half an hour. I only warm it up in winter, if I feel the urge

Oatmeal is good. I eat Maple and Brown Sugar instant when I get in the mood.

I like Grape Nuts! I don't buy the name brand, I buy the Kroger "Crunchy Nuggets" which are about $2 cheaper but exactly the same thing. My granddaughter loves this cereal! I do, too, but I put sugar on mine. I do put less on week by week, trying to get closer to her healthy eating habits so I don't have to sneak around the sugar bowl and I can be healthier. I love the crunch of this cereal and I also put it in yogurt and sprinkle some over oatmeal. My very favorite cereal of all time, I think, is Froot Loops. It's bad for me, full of sugar, very high calorie and nearly devoid of nutritional content. Yet I love to eat it (or the generic equivalent) right out of the box as a snack. Needless to say, I rarely indulge in this cereal and my granddaughter has never even seen a package of it. (She has no idea how many yummy, bad things there are in this world!! )

Most of the time it is Raisin Bran, but I'm beginning to get a little tired of it. Not sure what to switch to next! I can go for a year and eat the same cereal and then I can't stand another spoonful. Time to switch for another year it seems ;)

My favorite is Total, but I can't find it on the shelves any more - so I have substituted Weetabix bran flakes.

Oh yes, I remember that. There was a time when I ate that more regularly. I have not had it in awhile.

I hate eating cereal with cold milk. I love the ones with chocolate fillings. When they're warm enough, they chocolate just bursts out!

No cereal - neither of us care for it and I don't use milk, and dry cereal isn't too good.

Have you tried Soy Milk or Almond Milk. They are a good substitute for Cows milk.

@LeaPea2417 No - I have no desire - I can't eat nuts and soy milk just doesn't do it for me. I am fine w/o cereal.

Shredded Wheat which is fairly decent health wise with fiber. I do like Chex cereals.

@LeaPea2417 Whole wheat Chex is the best. Little nutritional value in Rice and Corn Chex.

That one is a good snacking cereal. I also like it in a zip lock bag or small lidded container, kept in the diaper bag. Currently I'm working my way through a box of cherry almond cereal.

@LeaPea2417 My favorite used to be Blueberry Morning by Post, but I haven't seen that one in ages. This is pretty similar to that one, only with cherries in it instead of blueberries.

You have to be of a certain generation (Did you watch H.R. Pufnstuf instead of Barney?) but I recall eating a gloriously wonderful cereal named Norman when I was a kid. Yes, it was a real thing, so don't think I'm overly afflicted by exposure to Sid & Marty Krofft. It was a tasty cereal and the commercials were memorable. Like others, I also liked Grapenuts until my teeth didn't. Also, Life cereal (cinnamon) was great, too!

My favorite cold cereal is Harvest Crunch. With milk and sliced bananas and a touch of brown sugar on top.

Too expensive to indulge in cereal here in Latvia if you have to always purchase it. I did enjoy the regular Cheerios when I lived in the states.
