Mine are mostly very healthy, hearty, whole grain, low or no sugar (don't care for sweets much).
I am not a huge cereal fan but I do love to snack on it sometimes from the box, like you would a bag of chips.

I like cereals with honey (like Honeycomb) or lots of sugar (like Frosted Flakes)

I tend to go for the healthier cereals too. I figure if I'm going to eat a cereal like cocoa puffs or the like I might as well forget about it and eat cookies or donuts, or something that actually tastes good, the whole point of eating cereal as opposed to a donut is to get grains and fiber in the morning ..
Lately I've been eating raisin bran

Cold cereals--Frosted Miniwheats, Special K Red Berries, Kashi with the dried blueberries, and raisin bran. I rarely eat cold cereal, though.

Hot cereal--I like oatmeal, but mostly I eat a special mix I make with several Bob's Red Mill cereals. . .Scottish Porridge, the high fiber mix, and the 10-grain mix. And do grits count? I like to make grits with garlic and cheddar cheese.

Oatmeal is near the top of my list.

I also like Golden Grahams, Raisin Bran, Special K Red Berries, and Grape Nuts.

Oatmeal sweetened with honey is my favorite. The cooked kind, not instant. I also eat a lot of Total because I have a problem keeping my iron up and Total provides 100 percent of the RDA.

I like Kashi's Autumn Wheat its taste like a better shredded wheat.

I also like some of trader joe's granolas.

For a treat, DH will get a box of Honey Bunches of Oats Raisin Medley or some Raisin Bran. Just for a treat as we don't usually have cold cereal in the house anymore. For breakfast, he will eat a bowl of instant oatmeal. If I want something (which is rare), I'll make a bowl of regular oatmeal with skim milk...sometimes for a treat, I'll throw in some blueberries.

I prefer Honey Bunches of Oats (with Almonds). Great for a meal or snack.

I forgot to mention that I like a lot of the "junk" food type cereals, too. I just don't eat them much anymore. I can't remember the last time I had some Cap'n Crunch or one of the "monster" cereals. I also love, love, love, love cream of wheat. I even like grits.

I would live off of cold cereal if I could...


I love Multi-Grain Cheerios, Wheaties, Grape Nuts, Frosted Mini Wheats, anything Kashi, granola... And the new-ish Chocolate Cheerios are fabulous, I try to convince myself that they are healthy...


Sweet cereals I do try to stay away from, since they have zero nutritional value, but Reese's Puffs, Cocoa Puffs, and Crunch Berries are among my favorite guilty pleasures, and I could eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch 'til the cows come home.

I'm not very good about getting breakfast in on a daily basis, but I do try to -- especially when trying to keep my weight up or gain. And, I almost always have cereals in the house to eat either as a meal or snack.

For cold cereal, I like the following:
Cheerios (Original, Honey Nut, and Multi-grain)
Special K
Rice Chex
Shredded Wheat (Frosted Big Bites)


For hot cereal, I like the following:
Oatmeal (sweetened with honey or brown sugar and cinnamon)
Cream of Wheat (sweetened with brown sugar and honey)

I also like Trader Joe's granola, but I don't eat it that often.
