Cereal Recommendations Anyone?

I need to have soluble fiber in the mornings, but breakfasts are a problem for me. I don't like banana bread (although I have no doubt that Shanna's is delicious). Heather suggested rice or corn cereal. Anyone know a good kind? I love soy milk, I just need the cereal. Thanks!

There have been a ton of posts on this. Try doing a search with no time limits to find them.

Some I can think of off the top of my head: corn chex, rice chex, cripsix, rice krispies, honeycomb, corn flakes. If you want hot cereals, cream of rice or grits.

I used to eat corn flakes 100 years ago, guess I can do that again -- with sliced bananas (ew) or maybe berries of some kind. Wish I could get used to oatmeal (EW!). I'm such a fussy eater, I should be skinny as a rail. Thanks again, Mags.

I just tried a cold cereal for the first time in 3 months this morning! I used "Barbara's Bite Size Shredded Oats". They are super yummy and best of all, no IBS attack!

I think I found it at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's

Yeah -- Trader Joe's. Great place! I used to shop there when I lived down in your neck of the woods. I'll try to find it up here -- thanks!

I love quaker oatmeal cereals (the different flavored of the Squares! or the toasted flakes!

) and Barbara's cereals (the Squares by her brand are good, too!)

now you are talking! I love the kellogg's squares too, they are so filling, I wish I could still eat them. I am desperate for a good safe cereal for springtime.

It's THE BEST health food store. They have EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, it's in California (and I'm up here in Washington), and you can't go near the parking lot it's so jammed. A VERY popular place indeed!

Did you know Trader Joe's is a chain? They're all over, not just in California. We have them here too!

Check www.traderjoes.com under 'Locations' and see if you can find one near you.

Thanks, Mags. I knew it was a chain, and I knew there were some up here in Washington, but I'm WAY UP here in the sticks -- there ain't none nowhere here nohow. Poor poor pitiful me. I'll just have to suffer. Maybe I'll go out in the garden and eat worms.

I don't know if worms are safe - are they considered red meat?

Say . . . you might have something there! A "quarter pounder" sounds pretty good, don't it?!?

Bevs, I didn't read all the posts, but I have found, Honeycombs, Rice Chex and Frosted Rice Chex are great and I do well with them. I was eating Fruity Pebbles, but I think I read that there is sorbitol in the ingredients....that stupid sorbitol.

Could you possibly be any CUTER?!?

Thank you SOOOOO much!

Unfortunately, I'm not near any of these cities; I'm WAAAAAY up north, directly on the Canadian border (I could practically walk across), and there's NOTHING up here!

Well, actually there is a little health food store 30 miles south of me, so I drive down there every week for my Mocha Fudge fix. (Say, did you know that they separate the fudge part from the mocha -- so that what I'm really getting is my mocha fix -- but without the coffee guilt. Pretty sneaky, eh? Don't tell Heather.)

Thanks again, Cutie!

Thanks, Pretty Lady! Actually this was an old post of mine, and I did get a lot of great responses -- can you believe how many people read it?!? Wow!

I've tried all kinds of cereal -- in fact, this morning I had Toasted Oatmeal -- but I just really don't like the stuff. I prefer Shanna's incredible banana bread, toasted, with soy butter on it -- just like Shanna has it every morning. Truly GREAT stuff. I make two loaves at a time and keep some in the freezer, to have it on hand. With hubby around, it's difficult -- he LOVES the stuff!

Thanks again, cutie!
