Serious question, but personally, they may be the best due to their whole grain taste, which is fantastic and always has a sense of sugar, natural sugar that is. But the nutrition is what gives it the edge for me. Tons of Iron, lots of Fiber, copper, and more. Calories are plentiful, too, something I skimp out on when it comes to breakfast sometime. There is a reason why people who ascended Mount Everest packed it with them.

For healthy, good cereal, Grape Nuts for you? Or something else?

 

[BoosterDuck]

I love gobbling grape nuts in the morning

 

[ryutaro's mama]

For health, Special K.

For delight, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Da Gawd.

 

[gimmmick]

There isn't much food I can't stand to try out and eat, but this one take the cake for morning cereals. Never been a fan of grape nuts.

For health?

The sugary stuff?

 

[TriniTrin]

Grape nuts + Yogurt = DA BESS

 

[Brian Fellows]

They are the worst.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

oatmeal

 

[parrotbeak]

It's not a grape or a nut.

I like Quaker Granola cereal myself.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch makes the water taste like liquid sugar.

Spoiler

So gud.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Puffins are great, as is special K. Just no god damn mini wheat cereal. Barf.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Grape nuts + Yogurt = DA BESS

This is the truth. So good with vanilla yogurt.

 

[Colonel Nelson]

Grape Nuts are great. But cereal is bad for you.

 

[big_z]

golean crunch is best.

just be careful, I once ate an entire box in a day, didn't shit for 4 and almost died when I did. rip workplace toilet.

I too, like cereals which have a more subtle flavor and/or sweetness, to them. Maybe not grapenuts, so much. But that's mostly because they can be a little hard.

But, if you are talking nutrition, you are better off eating oats/oatmeal, than just about any big brand breakfast cereal.

[Troubled Bat]

The GOAT

 

[Greddleok]

Don't understand how people can eat cereal as a "meal." It's just like junk food in a bowl, even the so called healthy stuff.
Sure, I love cereal, but it's a snack, not my main breakfast.

 

[Ashodin]

The GOAT

17g of sugars wat

 

[Troubled Bat]

Never noticed... >.>

Even better!

 

[bjork]

I don't know if they still make it, but Banana Nut Crunch was my top ever. As a kid, I would've told you Pac-Man cereal.

 

[Greddleok]

Putting "PROTEIN" on a box is the marketing equivalent of going to a playground and going around telling all the mothers watching their kids that you're not a paedophile.

 

[Timedog]

Crispix and Double Take.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Peanut Butter Puffins

 

[veloxStrix]

I pray to the Lord of Swamps.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

gross.

TMNT cereal with the marshmallows was the GOAT.

I had a buddy who ate these but instead of milk, he would pour in Dr. Pepper.

I think I know why you used the past tense there.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Special K has a ton of sugar.

 

[bjork]

I think I know why you used the past tense there.

I would imagine if you had a box of this from 1989 or whatever and ate it today, you wouldn't even need the Dr. Pepper in order to do a number on yourself. I remember the non-marshmallow part of that cereal being glossy and even as a kid, feeling like it wasn't safe to eat a lot of.

 

[mclem]

Grape nuts largely leave me very confused about the reproductive habits of fruit.

Shredded Wheat is the only healthy cereal I've yet to find.

Ninja nets lmao

 

[Genryu]

I like honey bunches of oats.

General Mills Monster Cereals all day every day! (Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Booberry, Yummy Mummy, Fruit Brute)

Sadly, they're not available outside of the fall. Thank god that cereal lasts forever. I'll occasionally order it off of Amazon for a pretty cheap price. I'm about to order a 4-pack of Chocula for like $12.

My daily driver is plain ol' Corn Flakes. I eat them pretty much every day, but I'm not above eating cereal multiple meals of the day either.

 

[triplestation]

My baby cousin calls honey nut cheerios honey loops so cute!

 

[Greddleok]

Elaborate, please.

It's the definition of unbalanced. You're eating sugar/carbs with milk, which contains more sugar and a tiny amount of protein and fat. I personally find it doesn't fill me up, I can easily eat a box of cereal in one go. I need something more substantial for breakfast - I probably won't be eating for another 6 hours so it needs to fill me up.

As I said, as a snack it's fine, but alone I don't think it covers enough to classify as a meal. I could see cereal for breakfast alongside some meat and veg, or eggs and mushroom or something, but I'd rather just have some solid bread.

I don't want to be a downer so I'll post my favourite cereal.

Halloween Cereal makes your poop green, though. That's yucky.

 

[Apt101]

Trust me. Will change yo life.

 

[canoli2006]

I enjoy Grape Nuts very much. It makes me laugh every time I buy the store brand version, Nutty Nuggets. The name is very comical to me.

 

[Firehead]

It's a close second. First is Cracklin'.

Best goddamned cereal.

How is weetabix like junk food?

I have a banana after it too.

See, one of the reasons I love Cornflakes is that I can eat two whole cups, with a cup of unsweetened cashew milk, for 225 calories and while it is high in sodium, it's great for vitamins. Bran Flakes as well, but they're higher in sugar and calories.

I've never personally found this to be the case but there IS precedent...http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-...ally-found-to-cause-pink-poop-7114570/?no-ist

 

[TheAbsolution]

Nah, Raisin Toast Crunch is.
Mmmmmmm.

I can only confirm my case by taking photos of my poops, but I'm not a ratemypoo. com poster. It could be that I ate an entire box of the stuff in one sitting and nothing else that day, though.

edit - oh god that site is still up, link edited for the world's safety

 

[Skellig Gra]

I'm more of a granola kind of guy for "healthy" cereal

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

Grape nuts were the GOAT in the 80s

 

[Octavianus]

Cereal is gross anyway.

 

[nicoga3000]

No.

Cracklin' Oat Bran

That's the best cereal ever.

And actually, it is. It's so insanely delicious, but it's too expensive for me to enjoy regularly.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Grapes don't have nuts
