Best breakfast cereal?

Drake5 · 9 Sep 2012 at 14:18

I'm after some suggestions on what the best breakfast cereal is.

For the past how many years, I've always had corn flakes as the choice of cereal, but 2-3 hours after I'll often feel starving hungry and get a lot of low blood sugar symptoms. (My blood levels are actually fine though, I had a fasting blood test done which was normal)

I find myself in a rush in the morning so probably wouldn't have time to make porridge. What breakfast cereal is the best choice for slow release energy?

Would Fruit n Fiber be a good option? Bran flakes?

Cheers

Surely something that is non processed or least as possible...so...Shredded Wheat?

Wheetabix do a slow release energy version which is whAt I eat (I read somewhere that it didn't actually work though). I load it up with bananas etc but I too am always hungry by the time I start work. I think just regularly eating small things helps, rather than just 3 set meals.

I have Dorset cereals Cherries & Berries muesli mix. The stuff is heaven.

Sounds like you're after something low GI, Branflakes aren't that great and Fruit n Fiber could be better.

I'm not sure my post came out quite right there... I meant "Fruit n Fibre could be better" as in it's still not that good

Cinnamon Grahams or 'Curiously Cinnamon' wipe the floor with any other cereal in existence..

Make porridge the night before an reheat it?

Pretty much all processed cereals are going to be **** in the sense that you will feel hungry within a short period of time.

Muesli is a good option as it's quicker and tastier than porridge.

Crunchy Nut.
Lucky Charms.

I made the mistake of getting excited about the recent introduction of Fruit Loops- urggggghhh they're horrible

Sugar puffs are by far the best cereal, the Honey monster says so.

sigma · 9 Sep 2012 at 15:42

Lucky charms, sugar puffs.

For slow release energy?

Are you guys even reading the OP?

I just pour boiled water on porridge oats in the bowl and wait 5 minutes.....it cooks itself.

Just use water (not milk) but add honey/ chopped figs. I also add some crushed omega seed mix.

I have it every morning

I was going to suggest it but not everyone likes it in water.
