Phase 2 dry cereals
I've had the SBD dry cereal with skim milk and particularly like the one with whole grains and strawberries. Is there any other cereal anyone can recommend that is phase 2 acceptable, low sugar and whole grain? It seems almost every cereal has soooo much sugar, much more than allowed. The only other healthy cereals I seem to see are by Kashi. Some contain brown rice syrup and I've never heard of this. The south SBD cereal has evaporated cane juices so I know this is must be acceptable. Thanks for your help!!

There is a SBD cereal that has "yogurt bites" in it that I think tastes good. Also, All-Bran extra fiber which I add a splenda packet and banana or berries. Other than that, oatmeal, cooked at home and heated up at work with cinamon, splenda and nuts. This go round on SBD, I have not incorporated dry cereal into my diet yet. I have used SBD cereal bars for b-fast or a snack.

I found a generic version of all bran thats actually pretty low in sugar. I occasionally have Red River hot cereal too but it doesn't really agree with me.

Cereal is one of my favorite foods and it has been a wake up call to see how much sugar is added to how many cereals! I mean even non-sugary tasting ones are loaded with it. I find it to be one of the saddest aisles at the grocery store (right after the bread isle).
The ones I have found are:

Really? Grape Nuts cereal is okay? If so, this is exciting news for me. I thought I had checked it out once before and it didn't meet the guidelines. This used to be my favorite cereal. The only list of ingredients I could find online has "Wheat Flour" as the first ingredient. Do you guys think it's okay? I'll have to take another look at the grocery store this weekend.

I found one recently at our local organic store. I'm not a big cereal eater...occasionally at night when I want something. It's the "Heritage O's".
Talk about stand up to milk...quite a crunch too. It does have cane juice listed in it, but with 3g. sugar, not that bad and it doesn't cause cravings for me. |
I know I have Grape Nuts in the cupboard and that I have eaten them some - when I get home I will check the ingredient list. I can not seem to find out on line if it is "legal" or not.

I too have eaten grapenuts - not alot but I like to put a tsp or tbsp on my yogurt sometimes
|
Oatmeal all the way for me. I love it so much more than cereal and milk these days!

I'm a huge fan of oatmeal, too. Whether it's the regular oatmeal, or steel-cut oats, I love them both. I really like hot Ezekiel cereal, too.
Grapenuts are NOT okay. I don't have any on hand right now to check the ingredients, but I know there is something in there that is not SBD friendly. I used to eat them almost every day pre-SBD, either hot or cold Schmoodle, if you are a big fan of Grapenuts, you should really try the Ezekiel cereals. They are very similar to Grapenuts. |
I love to put a little Uncle Sam cereal in with my yogurt.

I mix Uncle Sam with Kashi Go Lean 50/50. Go Lean is too sweet for me straight.

According to my box of Grape Nuts the ingredients are:
whole grain whaet flour wheat flour malted barley flour salt dried yeast soy lecithin A serving has: 7g fiber 4g sugar Not perfect - but not horrible in comparison to MOST mass market cereals. I also LOVE oatmeal - especially steel cut. I make a big batch and divide it into servings. But, cold cereal is comforting to me and some days it meets some emotional needs/cravings that no other breakfast comes close to! |
