I'm feeling a bit bored of cornflakes and I think I should try something different this week so, what is/was your favourite cereal? I like the mini weetabix but I haven't had them in a while.

Nesquik :)

You need to follow Gingerbreadmaid on Instagram, she’s just done a Best Cereal poll, over 100 entries and the final was crunchy nut cornflakes vs cocopops. So intense! CNFC won.

I love All Bran with yoghurt and raspberries. I love it's satisfying crunch! Can't have sugary cereal as it sends me off craving sugar all day. My best breakfast is an omelette.

Either crunchy nut or cinnamon Graham’s

Honey nut shredded wheat

Oldsu · 08/03/2021 13:54

Weetabix used to have a golden syrup version, I used to have 1 golden syrup and I banana one and add more golden syrup, they seem to have discontinued them so its 2 banana ones plus extra golden syrup now

Aldi do a cinnamon squares type breakfast cereal, much better than the branded one and much cheaper. Bloody lovely it is!

Welshmumma92 · 08/03/2021 15:43

Cookie crisp

SingToTheSky · 08/03/2021 15:48

I REALLY miss Clusters. Not the crunchy nut ones. They were nestle I think. Basically bran flakes with these little clusters of honeyed nutty crunchy... things

DD1 and I were reminiscing about Start cereal too :o

I like crunchy nut chocolate granola, curiously cinnamon, marshmallow mateys 😳 (I swear I’m a grown up really) and hazelnut krave. I haven’t had special k with berries for ages, this thread has reminded me!

SingToTheSky · 08/03/2021 15:50

In fact most of the time I just eat whatever I like most out of the stuff we get for the DCs. I like Lion cereal and Nesquik too. But now I have resolved next shop to get some of MY favourites :o

tttigress · 08/03/2021 15:51

Another for Coco pops!! I was deprived from eating bhem them as s child Grin

youmakemydreamscometrue · 08/03/2021 15:54

Asda's own brand apricot or raspberry wheaties

tttigress · 08/03/2021 15:54

@Leobynature

Crunchy nut, Kellogg’s only. The big box is bloody £4! And it lasts 5 minutes in this house.
I've tried some supermarket own brand crunch nuts, they are awful compared to the real thing
zighead · 08/03/2021 15:55

I'm actually obsessed with cereal and would eat it for every meal if I lived alone Blush.
I love blueberry wheats, mini weetabix with fruit and nut or chocolate chips, crunchy nut cornflakes but my absolute fave (despite being mid forties) is Coco Pops Grin.

Sexnotgender · 08/03/2021 15:55

I think I’m the only person in the world who actually likes all bran!

Also love Lidl nutty granola with Greek yogurt.

EatTheMince · 08/03/2021 16:08

I live the raspberry and vanilla malties, maple and pecan clusters, crunchy nut cornflakes, Cheerios, weetabix, coco pops.

All the cereal!!

RedRec · 08/03/2021 16:12

Cheerios all day long (as Bradley Walsh would say).

Snorlaxx · 08/03/2021 16:14

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

Also, there used to be a chocolate sort of sickle shaped cereal that was delicious, similar to Weetos or Nesquik but a different shape.

I also love Weetabix with a fucktonne of sugar Grin

Serin · 08/03/2021 18:05

Kellogg's crunchy nut clusters.
Sainsburys apricot mini shredded wheats.
Lidls premium fruit and nut muesli (the best I've tried).

Serin · 08/03/2021 18:07

I've spent all day making cannelloni and salads for dinner and now all I want is a bowl of cereal with cold milk Hmm

Ilovechinese · 08/03/2021 18:14

Chocolate protein granola with fruit on top

miltonj · 08/03/2021 18:17

Lion bar cereal or curiously cinnamon!

For a more everyday option I like special k, blueberry wheats, Tesco brand muesli, Cheerios, wheatabix. I usually buy a few at once because I like mixing them together, sometimes with total Greek yoghurt Grin

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 08/03/2021 18:19

As soon as I saw the title I thought "crunchy nut cornflakes". Glad I'm in good company.

Also like museli/granola. But CNCF are the best.

Porridge with yoghurt banana and blueberries

AgeLikeWine · 08/03/2021 18:21

Porridge in winter, weetabix with ice-cold milk in summer. I sometimes put the bowl & biscuits in the freezer overnight so it’s super cold & crunchy.

joystir59 · 08/03/2021 18:23

Really dislike sweet cereals, they are SO sweet!
