All I need is steps 2 and 6.

Cereal is (unsurprisingly) supposed to be prepared like "overnight oats" and similar gruels. Pour the cereal in the milk, leave it all out overnight to soak up the juices, wake up to a breakfast revelation.

  1. Heat the coffee
  2. Add a splash of coffee
  3. No sugar, just coffee
  4. No cereal, doughnuts
  5. Repeat until you're full
  6. Drink the leftover

If you don't do it this way, it's ok to be wrong

Heart palpitations at breakfast let's gooooo

I actually like it when my cereals get soggy. Most "crunchy" things are just annoyingly hard. Anything harder than a potato chip just sucks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

i agree on soggy cereal, especially on cinnamon crunch.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why the extra sugar? Is the cereal not sugary enough? Even the "healthy" cereals tend to have too much sugar, plus the milk has a bunch of sugar.

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

It's so hard finding low sugar cereals. I'm lactose intolerant so I usually get no sugar added oatmilk at least.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Plenty of cereals have no sugar.

Milk only has a bunch of sugar in the USA.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

All milk has lactose, which is sugar.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

What? Lactose is literally sugar.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I've been doing this for decades, I just omit steps 1 and 4.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That doesnt seem terrible to me, but I also married someone who pours orange juice on their cereal. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Do you mean orange juice on oats? Because that apparently works and the two combined are healthy or whatever. Or do you mean full on cinnamon toast crunch, frosted flakes type shit? Frosted flakes doesn't actually sound that bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Any cereal, but frosted flakes is usually the go-to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Oj is really not that healthy. It has a ton of calories and is almost pure sugar. As a type 2 I can't have any, and if I can't have it, then no one should, lol. God, please just let me drink oj and eat rasins again.

Well that's the most 'wtf' thing I've read on here in a few days.

Imma fight y'all.

No milk. Use fil (sour milk), yoghurt or something similar. Put cereal on top, no mixing. The cereal touching the "liquid" get soggy while the rest stays crisp giving the best texture heterogeneity. Berries are awesome, frozen a super convenient alternative. If using frozen mix these with dairy before adding cereal.

Your fermented dairy of choice brings a nice crispy and fresh acidity to the meal. And if it (still) have an active bacterial culture it is super good for your gut.

Muesli is best cereal.

Honey only approved sweetener.

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

Honey only? But there's so many good ones!

Jam, agave, or maple syrup should be good with muesli & yoghurt to my taste. Light molasses may work in moderation, and I've heard good things about sorghum syrup.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That is my preferred breakfast. I prepare it the night before in a glass to allow the bottom layer tons of time to soften like you say but then I mix it all just before eating. I tend to use kefir since if I want fil I've gotta make it myself but as you say anything similar gets the job done.

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

Fil as in Viili? That is delicious.

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

By the wiki article it sounds very similar. Milk plus micro culture equals deciciousness.

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

Are you from Sweden btw? Filmjölk/Fil I learned today has no English term. I am from the Netherlands and my mom used to get us Viili all the time, that is where my memories connected with you mentioning Fil. We also had Kefir but Viili was my fav, better than yoghurt. It's hard to get here nowadays.

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

keefir is commonly used in the making of kama here in Estonia.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks for mentioning, I looked Kama up and it is certainly a breakfast unknown here but the recipes I looked up read delicious. Sorta fine grained roasted muesli. Fiber and protein on steroids. Also I learned versions of this is eaten Sweden, Finland, Russia and even Turkey. Also seems much healthier than any 'western' factory cereal as the recipes I have seen only require salt.

I like to eat it.

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

Swede yes. Fil is our national variant of soured milk. Runnier than yoghurt but still creamy, about same fat content as milk.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Even more proof that vtubers are degenerates.
