I might start eating breakfast again.
they sell these in the UK - or at least they used to...
I’m quite partial to cinnamon grahams but I’m sure they have a tonne of sugar.
Shreddies are also good and probably healthier. However the timing for the milk soaked crunch ratio is critical.
We can’t get Shreddies in Australia for some reason, so every UK trip requires at least 3 -4 kg surplus luggage capacity to bring back 4 or 5 family size boxes...Originally Posted by Mr.D

I remember reading on the box of some Canadian muesli "why not try tossing over your favourite breakfast cereal".
I must admit the thought had not crossed my mind.

Lucky Charms anyone? Basically sweets stirred into a sweet cereal.
Used to be sold in the UK. When my
oldest was 4 I refused to buy them, which led to days of ‘I want sweets for breakfast’ - she still reminds me 25 years later.
But, but they're Whole Grain. They must be good for you really... 😁

These are fantastic, but pretty unhealthy.
I used to to live in the Middle East in the 80s, and they mainly stocked US brands in those days. Lucky Charms, Fuit Loops, Cap’n Crunch etc Then there were Pop-Tarts and drinks like Tang and Kool Aid. Everything was absolutely loaded with sugar, a bit artificial, but bloody lovely if you’ve got a sweet tooth.
Easier and cheaper to buy a pack of these and add milk. Warm milk works better:
Cap’n Crunch is a proper had core cereal lover’s cereal. I seem to remember a passage in Cryptonomicon dedicated to the correct way of eating it including timings for soak and milk temperature.

Reminds me of special K. The wife saw the tv adverts so we went ahead and got a good supply of it in various varieties for her. Only later did I check the box and was amazed at the amount of sugar, salt etc in it. Back to porridge and some fruit for breakie

These are no different from the many cereal bars on sale. A few bits of fruit and cereal stuck together with a ton of sugar. Yoghurts are just as bad. Many foods sold as (or implied as being) 'healthy' are anything but.
"Breakfast is your most important meal..."
This is the call that you might hear in a cereal port
Organic porridge oats for us with Chia seeds and filtered milk 😛
Groan...
Actually I need a USB serial port adapter for a job in a couple of weeks.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
These have been available for about 15 years in this country. Not half as bad for you as they sound and there are a lot worse available

They're actually quite nice and not so sweet as you might imagine.
What's the point of filtered milk BTW. Just lasts longer, not 'healthier'.
I don't know of any research into it but afaik filtered is pasteurised at a lower temperature, which might lead to less denaturing of proteins etc. Without said research it would be impossible to say if there's any difference.
Also the bacteria in milk do produce toxins (much more slowly if it is filtered), so consuming less of that is probably a good thing. But otoh, consuming the bacteria themselves may not be a bad thing. So again, without research, it's swings and roundabouts.
Some people like filtered milk because it supposedly tastes "creamy". I know what cream tastes like though, and I disagree with that view. I would call it "chalky". If you want creamy milk, buy unhomogenised whole milk, ideally from Jersey cows. It has more vitamins too.
