SF cereals

[Atomic pink]

Hey guys. Struggling to find breakfast options now that porridge seems decidedly unseasonal and wondered what SF cereals you know of? I was always quite fussy about cereals about prepared to give anything a go at the moment. Really like weetabix but they aren't SF, wondering about a small tweak and counting them as free anyway but don't want to jinx my losses as they are so slow/ non-existant anyway.

I hate porridge unless it has loads of honey/golden syrup in it - not too diet friendly! When I get back on plan I'm thinking shredded wheat with some chopped banana/strawberries

Can you deal with shredded wheat? That's free or mini shredded wheat? Also what I do is use oats to make a Bircher. It's porridge oats, grated apple, total 0% and milk all mixed together, leave it for 10 mins then I add raspberries or blueberries. Oh and I put mixed spice in too. It's very nice. X

Thanks guys. Have taken the leap and bought mini shredded wheat today. Or at least Morrisons own brand ones anyway. Opened the box and tried one - not overly impressed, rather like cardboard without the flavour but not actively offensive so I can probably deal with them.

I like the idea of the bircher museli so might try that too.

With shredded wheat I have to leave it for about five minutes to soak in the milk so that it softens. It's cardboardy like you said otherwise. And I put honey or sweetener on it. Yum.

Thanks. I will definitely leave it to soak for a bit tomorrow morning then. I am the opposite with weetabix - I put on very little milk and right at the last minute so it doesn't go soggy.

I think puffed wheat is free too? Like sugar puffs without the sugar! Nice with a little sweetener on them - I've tried liking shredded wheat but not a big fan :-/ x

I tried shredded wheat with milk this morning and they weren't anywhere near as bad as I thought they would be from the dry taste I had the other day. Quite edible actually.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really can't be doing with the idea of sweetener or honey on cereal though - I know I am wierd it just seems icky to me, but plain shredded wheat should be an acceptable breakfast on SF when its not porridge weather. Of course we have probably already had our quota of "porridge unfriendly" weather for the year haven't we?!

I weirdly miss branflakes though kinda grudge using points on cereal when there's free options! Going to double check that puffed wheat are free and if they are get some as they are yummy - used to have them on sw because they weigh very little so you got a decent serving for your heb ;-) x
