Start with a layer of All Bran flakes or a reasonable facsimile, cut up a fresh date, arranged evenly. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts and drip about a teaspoon of local honey over the layer. Next, put a layer of another type of cereal that compliments the bottom layer. I have discovered the Kashi brand that resembles Shredded Wheat but comes in a variety of different flavors. On top of that you put on your blueberries and strawberries, if in season, and drown the whole mess with skim milk. While this has been going on, your blueberry bagel should be about toasted and you can spread some real butter and a little more honey on the slices. Top it all off with a big glass of V 8 juice and you are ready to tackle anything.
I’ve always been a cereal eater. I don’t like the sweet stuff, so it’s usually corn flakes, Cheerios or shredded wheat. But… with whole milk. That and a piece of fruit and I’m good.
When I have time, it’s hot cereal. Bob’s Red Mill 8-grain or McCann’s oats.
Then there are the days for scrambled eggs, home fries and bacon. But then, that’s not what we’re talkin’ about . . . .
Always home-roasted coffee. Every morning. But then, we’re not talkin’ about that either. . . .
I have never been a fan of any kind of cereal, hot or cold. I did eat rice krispies with milk and sliced bananas some when I was a kid.
My normal breakfast now is coffee, juice, a banana, and a piece of whole grain toast. For a treat it is toaster waffles with blueberry syrup or eaten out of hand with blackberry jam. Sometimes an egg or 2 with toast.
My Mother would eat cold cereal twice a day, breakfast and bedtime snack, usually cornflakes or raisin bran
Everyone is talking about their 2% milk skim milk fat free milk …………am I the only one to notice that the OP gets down sometimes with chocolate milk on his cereal???????????
Hay, there is noth'n wrong with chocolate milk...............
and if you want to be a little different ( Bay area child)
we even added "Pink Rabbit" to our milk !!!
most mornings I have a mix of raisin bran & some cinnamon cereal... toast crunch or life.. with 2 percent... weekends are quick oats or eggs... oats use combo of milk & water with raisins, craisins, dried blueberries, brown sugar and a little vanilla extract or almond extract...
I found I was having stomach issues when drinking milk, even with lactose free milk so I quit eating cereal in the mornings. May try again after I retire in a couple years and see if it was stress related.
I grew up Australian Weetbix which may or may not be related to Rusty1957's Weetabix. Usually made with boiled water, milk, and a teaspoon of sugar on top. My kids eat it now.
Due to my weight issues and 2017 Bariatric Surgery, I now eat a concoction of diced Apple, Muesli, and Greek Yoghurt for breakfast. More protein in it and keeps me fuller for longer.
Eat cereal occasionally for a evening snack. Shredded wheat (Post original large biscuit /unsweetened), lactose free milk and a little brown sugar. Oatmeal for breakfast alot, but never considered it cereal.
