Best Cereal?

BadBoy9782 Posts: 8 Joined: 2003/04/09	2003/07/09, 11:09 AM Yesterday i went shopping at a local supermarket to try and find a cereal that looked like it would taste good and still be healthy. I ended up buying some brand i never heard before. For each serving it has 1g of fat 26g of carbs 6g of sugar 10g of fiber and 8g of protein. I recently been looking for a cereal because i am starting to get tired of the slimfast shakes in the morning. The shakes do taste great but i was looking for a cereal as a change of paste and with cereal i like to put bananas and blueberries in it. I wanted to know if anyone knew of any cereal to have that is good for you that has atleast 3-5g of fiber and not alot of sugar in it. Thanks (I'm looking for something i could get at a supermarket not at a healthfood store)

I also like Kashi GoLean Crunch (not the plain GoLean; it tastes like sawdust), the Kashi is high in the sugar dpt though, 13 grams. But it's great for sprinkling over cottage cheese or eating straight for a snack; it's a granola type cereal w/ a lot of protein.

It is called GO LEAN by Kashi. They make a few different ones, check it out. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!! Lifted 135lbs on July 1, 2003, I did it!!

It has two flavors I know of , the Optimum lean and Optimum with blueberries and I like it. I also vote for the oatmeal. Sometimes I fry the oatmeal with egg whites, ciniamon, vanilla and peanut butter for a hi protein and good carb boost in the am. This is good before a workout too. 5 egg whites and 1/3 cup of oatmeal, one tablespoon of real unsweetened peanut butter with the cinamom and vanilla. I got this recepie off the net. It looks and sounds crazy but really tastes good and keeps you full.
