I am looking to eat better and I imagine a healthy cereal is probably better for me than the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwiches I often eat, but which one? Any suggestions on what are good not sugary breakfast cereals? Thanks. ---

I’m a fan of Shredded Wheat (the big biscuits). One or two of the large biscuits in milk tastes very good. Whole grain, high in fiber and it keeps me full. ---

The great thing about cereal is you can generally mix any two or more non-sugary ones together and not get bored. I like mixing various flavors of Chex together. It’s like Chex mix but without the candy. ---

I’m absolutely addicted to Special K Protein, so are my nieces. There’s just a hint of cinnamon to it that gives it an extra kick. I put blueberries or raisins on it. If I’ve got some, I’ll mix it with plain Greek yogurt and Splenda and it’s SO GOOD. I can’t stop eatin’ it every day. ---

Mini wheats and Smart Start. Not sure that either are really “good” for me, but better than some of the alternatives. I also like the frozen oatmeal Trader Joe’s sells ---

I like to mix grape nuts and mini wheats. It’s a tasty combination. I get the store brand mini wheats. very little calories and they fill me up without having a big bowl of grape nuts. ---

I’m reasonably fond some of Kashi’s selections, specifically their GOLEAN Crisp!. Lotsa fiber, lotsa protein. Seconding Grape-Nuts, but they’re not for everyone. I always preferred mine hot, w/ a drizzle of honey–there’s something about the flavor of G-N that harmonizes nicely w/ honey. ---
