Which one do you yourself eat. I've just been to the supermarket, planned on getting a muslie, and came back with milo cereal. So chocolate for breakfast it is. Thsy all cost so much for what the are and I have no idea whetehr I'm going to like it. I'm a sweet eater I'm not a real bran type fan. I like the fruity ones, sultana's, strawberries, apricot. Not really apple or other berries. Who's got a yummy one. Or better yet a muslie receipe. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

| I usually have porridge for breakfast, but sometimes I get something like Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, or Sultana Bran, something like that. I like fruit in them usually. Dh has cornflakes. Only cornflakes. Sometimes with stewed apple on the top. |

I normally buy whichever one is on special mostly because they are so expensive otherwise and I get bored with the same one all the time.
I have Saltana Bran Crunch now which is pretty good. -------------  Angel Babies Nov 09, May 10, Dec 10

we make our own muesli with mixed nuts, mixed seeds saltanas, dried apricots and pretty much anything ya want, DH even puts a handful of choc chips in and its way healthier as its more natural as all the nuts a not salted or anything....if thats not there I love Kelloggs Antioxidants plus its cranberries and stuff and I swear my body feels better for it, cant eat that chocy stuff anymore, has to be muesli or toast in my house!

I get cereals I want if they are on special, otherwise I have porridge with yoghurt, or toast.
I like Milo cereal... and I justify it because now it is made with grains and has fibre  ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Why not think outside the box and do combos?
My favourite at the moment is weetbix, museli with a sprinkling of cheerios. |

I love the vogels cafe style, though it does give my jaw a bit of a workout. I either have oatmeal/porridge with brown sugar, or special k w/ yoghurt and tinned raspberries. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| DH and I both eat the Vogels clusters. They are like bits of muesli stuck togther with honey. Kind of like an even crunchier version of granola? Our local supermarket doesn't sell it though, so every couple of weeks we go to a different supermarket to stock up! |

| For those of you that have your cereal with yoghurt, do you use the yoghurt in place of milk or what?? Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question.... |

Mmm Hubbards Berry Berry Nice is my Fav!!!
Minik8e - I still use milk if I'm having yoghurt, but only a very small amount. Otherwise its just too dry for me -------------

| the fruity special k ones, don't like museli at all... |

Sounds yummy 
I usually buy special k or weight watchers ones for me & DH. The kids get a turn at picking one for them, usually chocolate ones, which last about 2 days(DS2 does not like milk so won't add any to it) then it is weetbix till the next shop, lol. |

Almost every dayI have pams version of sultana bran (more sultanas - yumyum) and kiwifruit. Am finding that when I don't I know about it at present! lol the joys of pregnancy! If I feel like toast for breakfast then I often take the cereal to work for lunch. Nice easy lunch when can't be arsed making anything. finding am really enjoying it drowning in milk too. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Sanatarium Toasted Muesli - Golden Fruits, in the red box - is SOOOOO good! I made the mistake of first getting muesli that wasn't toasted and hated it. I have it with a yoghurt - no milk ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Uncle Tobys Fibre Lift - either flavour with super trim milk (I like my milk to taste like water) and yoghurt and banana on top. |

Uncle Toby's Oaties. Few minutes in the microwave and its done, make it as milky as you like and add whatever you feel like on the day to it for flavour.
Just like them coz they fill me up until lunch. More filling than the equivalent amount of WeetBix I reckon. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

We really love the weet bix minis, especially honey flavoured. We have them with yogurt to stop them getting soggy though. Caleb often has them as finger food snacks with cheese, raisens etc as well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I usually rotate my cereals depending on whats on special so either Hubbards Berry Berry Nice, WW's muesli or Special K. I hate the taste of milk so I have it with yoghurt
My boys have more simple tastes and are happy with cornflakes and weetbix - much cheaper too! ------------- Mum to two boys and http://lilypie.com">

My current cereal of choice is Light 'n' Tasty Manuka Honey Date & Nut, I love it! I have it with one of those small (comes in a 12-pack) of simply strawberry yogurt and milk. I have the same thing pretty much every day.
Also - it kinda seems expensive, but when you think about it being an entire meal and the most important of the day, its probably less than you'd spend on lunch or dinner... ------------- http://lilypie.com">
