When it comes to breakfast (or any time of day, for that matter), I'm an all-sweets kind of girl. Cereal is my go-to breakfast meal, and I've spent the last 21 years figuring out which cereal reigns supreme over the breakfast aisle. Here are the official results, according to me:
15. Vanilla Almond Special K
I just love the sweet flakes, crunchy roasted almonds, and yummy vanilla flavor of this cereal. My mom uses it for baking, but I just love eating it with milk.
14. Cap'n Crunch
All of the Cap'n Crunch varieties are delicious, but regular Crunch is my favorite. They look like tiny bricks of pirate gold, and they taste even better.
13. Frosted Flakes
Sugar, sugar, and more sugar.
12. Fruity Pebbles
Mixed fruit flavor in the form of crunchy cereal nibbles? Sign me up.
11. Honey Nut Cheerios
Because who would choose to eat regular Cheerios when you can eat better Cheerios that taste like golden honey?
10. Frosted Mini-Wheats
These little bundles of wheat and sugar are just too good to pass up. Although it's tempting to buy the off-brand stuff to save money, you definitely shouldn't because the original is way better.
9. Lucky Charms
I'm not even a marshmallow lover, but this cereal has been one of my favorite breakfast meals since childhood. I'm pretty sure that some people just pick out the marshmallows and leave the plain pieces behind, but it's all good.
8. Apple Jacks
I'll admit, this cereal tastes nothing like apples, but the cinnamon flavor is sooooooooo delicious.
7. Honey Graham Oh's
I've loved Oh's cereal ever since I was a kid. Every bite is so sugary and sweet and full of oatmeal bits.
6. Cocoa Puffs
What can I say? I'm addicted to chocolate, even at breakfast.
5. Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats
It's the tastiest combination around of sweet flakes, granola, and honey-flavored goodness. If you like regular granola, you should try this sometime!
4. Waffle Crisp
I'm a sucker for all things maple-flavored, including cereal that's reminiscent of syrupy toaster waffles.
3. Reese's Puffs
What could be better than a cereal that tastes like chocolate and peanut butter (AKA two of my favorite foods)?
2. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
My husband and I absolutely adore CTC, for obvious reasons. It's like an upgraded cinnamon roll, and the crunch is oh-so-satisfying.
1. Life Cereal
Maybe it's the sweet transformation on traditional checkered cereal, or maybe it's the sugary flavor embedded within each bite, but Life cereal is my absolute favorite cereal of all time.
It's true that all cereal is wonderful, but only a few varieties have my vote in the end. What is your favorite kind of cereal?
