I'll eat cereal when we get it for the kids but prefer granola, over Greek yogurt. Otherwise I go for overnight oats.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Steel cut oats with vanilla and chia seeds and cinnamon and brown sugar, just a tad, mm mm.

From germany, müsli Oats with nuts and fresh fruit, with milk or yoghurt in it Wouldn't eat cereal for breakfast, because it's the same as eating candy

Sugar Puffs. They can call it Honey Monster all they want, but it'll always be Sugar Puffs.

Just basic oats, overnight oats or porridge with various fruits and nuts

I'm from Morocco amd I haven't eaten cereal in decades.

I just eat the cake my grandmother makes, it always tastes really good. Sometimes with a nice milk coffee that I brew myself (infused with chocolate, of course). This is the best feeling I ever have during the day.

It is indeed delicious once you try it.

Another Scot here and I know it's not a cereal, but porridge.

When I'm having a bad day, the pouches you put some milk in and then microwave for two minutes are a really quick and (presumably) healthy breakfast that tastes good enough.

I live in Canada but was born in Mexico. My favourite cereal growing up was (and still is) chocokrispis which is basically just chocolate rice krispies but made with mexican chocolate. Also fucking love count chocula but that is a rare find nowadays, though I did find a chocolate lucky charms not too long ago which was delightful.

I’m one of those weirdos that you hear about but never see: Grape Nuts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Grape nuts and yogurt is my jam.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Grape Nuts are so good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There is a brand of crackers called Finncrisp which to me taste like savory grape nuts. Delicous!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The caraway ones are the best.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Soooo good with lox!

Um cereal is for kids is it not?

Coffee and croissant/baguette

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

No. A lot of cereal is targeted at children as it's an easy breakfast for parents to get them.

If you avoid the chocolate / sugar encrusted ones they can be a fairly nutritious and quick breakfast.

Croissants are high carbs mixed with fat and bread is just carbs. Both are super unhealthy and massively lacking nutrition by most standards.

US. rolled oats usually with milk, raisins or fresh fruit and some nuts. Brown sugar, honey or maple syrup if I’m feeling it.

The lazy alternative to rolled oats is plain Cabot full fat Greek yogurt. Love that stuff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

rolled oats, dry. australia

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I almost never eat cereal anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Mini Wheats (brown sugar to be more specific). Honey Comb is also a fantastic cereal. I’m Canadian.

I don’t typically eat breakfast, but as for alternatives, I just stick to a basic 3 fried eggs and toast. Sometimes I add in some home fries… Other times I’ll toss in a banana on the side as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Also Canadian, also brown sugar mini wheats

Cracklin' Oat Bran

Canada- my standard breakfast is oatmeal with homo milk and 2 spoonfuls of maple syrup or brown sugar, depending on the season. I try to get the maple syrup from the Amish/Menno dudes out in the country.

Breakfast cereal is a scam invented by a psychotic incel, but oatmeal is cheap and a good source of fibre.
