Healthy Cereals?

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I love the Kashi cereals, have you tried any of them?

member · Hermes

2nd Kashi - we always have them in the house. They are so good and good for you!

good old Cheerios w/ bananas or strawberries always hits the spot for me.

Vanessa · Kate Spade

Kashi Heart to Heart is my only cereal, and I highly recommend it. It's like cheerios but way better for you, just sweet enough, and perfect as a snack. Also love that the cereal itself is heart-shaped. I'm a sucker!

My fav too! I love all the Kashi cereals though, but this one is the one I eat the most.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

Another vote for Kashi. I prefer the go lean crunch with fresh berries.

Drugstore.com has all Kashi cereals on sale if you want to order any to try. Might save a few bucks if you don't have a discount supermarket nearby.

I am a fan of and Fiber One cereal. I usually just get the plain one and add fruit to it.

I think this cereal should come with a big ol' warning label! My poor system can't handle an entire serving of this - I had to limit it to sprinkling a quarter cup on top of yogurt with fruit. Consider yourselves warned!

I've been getting some organic fiber and flax cereal at Costco recently - really keeps you satisfied IMO. Not sure if everywhere has it though .

I like a cereal called Nutty Flax. I add it to a plain, gluten-free Rice Krispies cereal. I also keep ground flax seed in an airtight container to spread over cereal.

Sorry Elle, you are right, I didn't think to mention that. I only eat half a cup at a time, which is another reason I add the fruit.

I tried the Kashi Heart to Heart puffed what cereal. I didn't think I would like it since I don't like Cheerios, but I did. I also tried the Kashi Go Lean Crunch Honey and Almond Flax and liked that a lot too. I have to wait until these boxes are gone, but then I am going to try some more Kashi cereals. Thanks girls!

I like just regular Grape Nuts with some fruit on top. Also, adding Wheat Germ on top is a healthy alternative and I like the honey type which is sweet and yummy.

what about hot cereals? Or homemade cereals and granola? I've made some but never really from a recipe. I second the notion of using flax. When I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes I ate a lot of flax because it lowers your net carbs essentially. Look for the milled variety or put it in a spice mill/coffee bean grinder.
