How do you take your cereal?

[Duck]

In a scale of 1 to 5, how much cereal do you put in the bowl? And how much milk?

Do you even have cereal with milk? Do you have it with water because apparently there are people that have cereal with water.

do..... people genuinely pour water IN their cereal or is it just "drinking water after cereal"??

When I do get the really unhealthy type then it's usually a 5. For a while it's just been some oat stuff (which I usually combine with berries/honey/cinnamon) which I usually fill up to a 3. Originally I used milk but at some point moved on to oat milk.

I've never put just water into the cereal bowl, though.

usually i take it to a 5 and the milk to between 4 and 5

what i really need to do though is follow serving size suggestion so i could at least practice moderation in eating

 

[Corrin]

5 cereal and 4 milk.

Not just water IN their cereal, but often warm/hot water, too. It's pretty common with older gen Aussies especially if they grew up in the outback, like my Aussie family, where you had to have water with your Weet-Bix! My grandmother still offers me that as a suggestion.......


As for me, I have about 3 cereal and 4 milk, but sometimes two servings of that :p

5 for cereals, 0 for water, 0 for milk (I really dislike softened cereals... they must be crispy!).
And 2 for chocolate powder! ... Chocolate...

I fill a cup with milk and pure cocoa and then, after dipping in and eating a couple of pieces of toast, I pour some cereal on the cup, which by then is half-empty, just enough to serve as part of my breakfast but just a little bit so I don't have only cereal for breakfast, which is way too sugary and American.

As for me, I usually do a 4 with cereal and 3.5 for milk?
Like, more or less the same but not enough to reach the cereal line.

John Green famously does so. I didn't even know it was a thing in Australia but here we are.

Then again, (some) Americans do hot cocoa with water which gave me a similar reaction so I guess it's just one of those cultural differences.

(Funny I'm seeing this now, since I JUST ate some cereal)

4 for cereal and 0 for milk. Not a fan of soggy cereal. I don't even like milk (or milk alternatives) that much either.

 

[_confused_piplup_]

I'd say 3 and 4 milk. I get milk first and then cereal. It's not my standard breakfast, but it was for a long while and it is occasionally. I put a lot of cereals on top, because I like spooning them down to make them fit the cup lol. It's really satisfying. Sometimes, I go for a second round of cereals, but less, like 2.

 

[Palamon]

By the handful.

I will never eat cereal in a bowl. Too many calories.

 

[Sheep]

3 or 4! During the rare chance I actually eat cereal, which isn't often lol.

 

[Zeostar]

4 cereal

2 or 3 for milk.

Often end up with no milk and finish the cereal last.

It depends on what kind of cereal it is. Some brands of cereal are much better dry since they make excellent snack food instead of breakfast. Others work excellent in milk, such as Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Honey Comb, etc.

One cereal that works great in both is Krave. It's my No.1 favorite cereal of all time and it tastes great both ways!

...Which is what i would say if i ate cereal, but i don't really anymore.

 

[Aquacorde]

i dont eat cereal much and do not consider it a meal but it must be like.... 4 cereal and 2 milk? cereal not all the way to the top (so it doesnt fall out) and milk just enough to make it float. soggy cereal is a no-no but cereal with no milk is as well

or, as a treat: 3 ice cream 5 cereal

I eat my cereal usually around 4 or 5. I always eat my cereal with lactose-free milk. Cereal with water is like the nastiest thing ever and cereal without milk is just too dry. I'm better off eating cookies or granola bars at that point. I remember trying cereal with water when I was really little at one point because we ran out of milk. Never again! A great waste of cereal that day!
