Hello My Name Is.... And I'm a Cereal Addict

Words cannot describe how much I love to eat cereal-- I think my love just might rival that of the patron saint of cereal, Jerry Seinfeld. I literally eat the stuff all day long. And since there are TONS of options when it comes to cereal, it's nigh impossible to get sick of the stuff. What cereal gets YOU out of bed in the morning?

Cracklin' Oat Bran

I could probably eat an entire box of this. But then once I read the box and realized it’s really pretty horribly bad for you. Sadness!!

It’s funny how you’re like, it’s oats! It has to be good for you! Then you find out it has like 80 grams of sugar per serving. Sad indeed!

I know!! That’s sooo true! I think I could probably sue them for false advertising or something. Don’t act all healthy if you’re not at all!

Love it. One of my fav’s.

Raisin Nut Bran

I was denied sugary cereal as a kid (cruel, I know), so I grew up eating Raisin Nut Bran. But this stuff is pretty darn good— WAY better than plain Rice Krispies.

Trader Joe's Honey, Almond & Flax 9 Whole Grain Crunch Cereal

Widget_ddb_1mzbxgpolmnjz-eelj

I couldn’t find any pictures of this online, so I had to take my own (hence, why the image is backwards— damn you Photo Booth for not devising a way to flip images!) Anyway, I just recently discovered this cereal and I think I’m in love.

Being a Kashi Go Lean Crunch addict, I decided to try out the TJ equivalent. I’m hooked! Tastes better IMO. I’ve been eating it with Whole Milk, so I think it may be adding to the experience.

Kashi Go Lean Crunch!

Widget_calqg2elfe0pztlmfvugrv

I’ve already professed my love for Kashi Go Lean Crunch! on Guidespot (or as I like to call it, Kashi Go Lean Crack!— it’s seriously addictive). What can I say, I’m addicted to fiber.

Kashi is delicious! And makes you feel sooo healthy!

It’s seriously the perfect food.

Love me some Go Lean Crunch! Both varieties.

Trader Joe's Strawberry Yogurt O's

Widget_bisiv-ewhfsjt5juzify9i

I probably never would have bought this cereal— I gave up eating Cheerios in elementary school. But a while back I was staying with my sister (who’s a fan), I decided to give it a try for breakfast. And it’s pretty freaking good.

Nature's Path Organic Optimum Slim

Widget_b7hk2vivzhk5iwl9kjkhqo

I first bought this cereal back in college— I figured if I was eating copious amounts of cereal I should probably be eating organic cereal and this was one of the only organic varieties they had at Trader Joe’s. And let me just say this cereal is POORLY named— anything with “slim” in the title implies a taste that rivals cardboard. But seriously, this stuff is good.

 

Special K Red Berries

One of my old roommates used to buy this cereal and one day I decided to try it and after that I couldn’t stop eating her cereal. Please don’t tell her.

I was on a HUGE Special K with Red Berries kick. But I had to make myself start as it was getting way out of control.

I’ve had to do that myself with cereal— I actually didn’t buy Kashi Go Lean Crunch for over a year because things were “getting out of hand.”

Seriously! They must be putting some addictive substance in there…

Kellog's Smart Start

My old roommate used to buy this too, and I would eat it. God, I was a bad roommate…

Barbara's Bakery Shredded Oats

Widget_dw6gdjcqbou4nltd0euyt1

I first started off eating Puffins, and then I discovered the majesty that is Shredded Oats. I can eat this stuff like a fat man eats deep-fried pork rinds.

omg I LOVE Puffins (especially the peanut butter ones) but I’ve never tried this before.

The PB Puffins are SO good! But I also love the Shredded Oats— you should give ’em a try!

Then I will definitely be purchasing these… Later today!!

Weetabix

Widget_c2vspce-zfniyidf01ylkl

I love Weetabix because the possibilities of what you can do with it are endless. Here’s my favorite way to eat Weetabix:

1. Mash up cereal with ripe banana, tbls. of almond butter, milk, and brown sugar.

2. Nuke in microwave.

3. EAT!

Trader Joe's Organic Morning Lite

Widget_bfao5a_g5n_6bf6i3ct510

This isn’t my FAVORITE high fiber cereal, but it’s a good option if you’re looking to change it up. It has a nice nutty taste to it, but for some reason, the cereal tends to clump together— when I was nearing the end of the box I literally ended up with a solid brick of cereal.
