    @Bernard said in Breakfast Cereals:

    I started having cereal for breakfast a few months ago and have noticed a difference in how I feel.

    I assume IU mean you feel better? What did you eat for breakfast before then?

    I eat a combo of all barn and granola mixed into Greek yogurt for breakfast. Sometimes the kind of granola I want isn’t available, and then it takes me about 12 hours of reading through the nutrition labels on the available options to find one that’s not loaded with 100 times more sugar than my usual option. So frustrating.

    But even my usual option has added sugar, and so does all bran. 😕

    @ShiroKuro No, it made me feel worse.

    My breakfast varies from eggs to crepes to pancakes to oatmeal to granola. All homemade, of course. And once in a while, cold cereal. But cold cereal is getting crossed off the list.

      Most often, breakfast is a heated Costco croissant or half a New York everything bagel. With a side of berries and coffee. I don’t have cereal that often.

        I’ve been skipping breakfast for a bit more than 10 years now and it suits me pretty well. (I dislike when people call it. Intermittent fasting. I am not fasting, I just eat at different times.)

        The only exception is when I’m traveling for work and the hotel has a free breakfast buffet. all bets are off then….

          We were in a London Hotel this weekend, nice enough, the breakfast was a bit pretentiously healthy; vegan oat granola, with a selection of fruit, nuts and seeds to add, oat or dairy milks; and also sourdough bread with butter & choice of Bonmamon jams. Orange juice, tea - mostly herbals, coffees.

          I never asked but as the oat cereal was claggy, it had some form of sugar holding it together (vegans don't have honey?)

          I reflected again on what a niece explained to me, that pretty much all boxed cereals including the healthier granola and muesli are processed to some extent, with sugar or salt to taste.

          Except plain porridge oats.

            But not all have anything more than grain and nuts. Bob’s Red Mill is like that and I’ve seen others.

                Bobs red mill (had never heard of them, thanks) has interesting products, and looks like a company worth supporting. My coeliac sister will be getting some I'm sure.
                I think their steel cut oats will be similar to the jumbo oats I buy

                  If you’re interested in such things you might like the book I just finished.

                  I'm about a quarter of the way through it and finding it very interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!

                    @AndyD Bob’s Red Mill is a local company here in Portland Oregon.

                    I’m particularly fond of their gluten free muesli. I add milk and microwave for 30 seconds, then let the oats soften a bit before eating it.

                    They have oats, and gluten free oats. The difference is that the gluten free oats are processed in an area where contamination can’t happen. (Oats would be naturally gluten free, unless they’re getting accidentally dusted with flour.)

                    My brother works there.
