I like the regular with almonds and strawberry. Not so much the banana because I'd rather just slice up a fresh banana in it instead.

omfg this is the best "mildly healthy" cereal I've ever had. I don't care what kind it is, it's going to be good.

I'd buy the stuff more frequently if the boxes were bigger or cheaper. I love the strawberry flavor. I will try peach next time I see it.

ok, quick energy snack you can make out of this for when you go hiking or kayaking or something.

take a small round soft flour tortilla and spread some peanut butter on it.
mix some crunched up honey bunches of oats with almonds with some honey. spread that mix on the peanut butter. fold up the tortilla wrap to keep the contents inside. wrap in aluminum foil and keep chilled in a cooler.

hits the spot when you need a boost because of engaging in some heavy physical activity.

Yeah! I like the original and almond ones. Not too keen on the dried fruit ones. I don't like the way *everything* tastes like the fruit.

I like that one better, lasts a bit longer in milk before getting soggy.

Still, Reese Puffs are my favorite. Chocoloate Frosted Sugar Bombs anyone?

They sell the fruit ones that cheap too? I remember seeing the regular honey bunches of oats for around that much, but not the ones with fruit (actually I don't remember even seeing the fruit ones). I'll have to check it out this week - I'm out of cereal and milk.:)

SUGAR, BROWN SUGAR, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, BHT ADDED TO PACKAGING TO PRESERVE PRODUCT FRESHNESS

Looks ok to me :confused:

Pretty much any sugared cereal is considered bad for you. Not saying a cup is going to kill you, but at the same time, how many of us just eat a single serving of cereal?

EDIT: Compare the nutritional info with Cheerio's and notice the difference.

Well of course Cheerios are going to have less sugars and calories.

Hell, take a look at Cracklin' Oat Bran's nutrition facts...almost 4 times the sugars and double the calories.

None of this stuff is "terrible for you." :roll:

This is terrible for you. But oh so delicious.
