Fiber one cereal
 
What do you do with it? I made little snacks (from the website) with peanut butter and a little bit of chocolate chips mixed in with the fiber one cereal. Its 150 calories per "haystack" I tried to eat a bowl of the fiber one cereal and its a no-go lol I have 3 boxes thanks to the deal going on at CVS, so what can I do with it???

I've never had it, as I'm not a cereal or breakfast foods person. Is it that twig cereal? Would it be good sprinkled on a salad in place of croutons or mixed into yogurt?

DMNewman 06-11-2008 10:36 AM

Well I'm not much of a breakfast person either (see Never eat breakfast thread) lol I bought this yesterday and yes it looks like rabbit food. There is A LOT of fiber in it, obviously :)

if you go to the hungry girl website, it has loads of receipes and uses for the cereal...

Whir it in the food processor (or crush with a rolling pin in a plastic bag) - then, use it as you would bread crumbs in meatballs or meatloaf, or even use it to substititute some of the flour (not all - maybe up to 25%) in a quick bread recipe. Another thought is to coarsely crush it and layer it in a parfait with fruit, yogurt and a bit of light whipped cream.

You can also bake muffins with it. I did this a few days ago, only I made mine into banana nut muffins. I nixed the applesauce and raisins, and instead added 3/4 cup mashed VERY RIPE bananas, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, a splash of vanilla extract, and some cinnamon.

I use it as "batter" for oven fried foods.

I actually found it kinda of good just on its own. I bought it because of the hungry girl cook book - this weekend I am going to try making the onion rings with it! I tried the pumpkin crunchers... i ate one or two, they just kinda... well not gross but not that great either, LOL

You said on your other thread that you don't have milk with it. Are you lactose intolerant? If not, and if you're not vegan, maybe try 1% milk?

I have mine with soy milk. Or I mix it with unsweetened applesauce. Or I put it in my low-fat pb&j sandwich.

I tried the cinnamon flavor a few weeks ago. YUCK. It was no good.

Those onion rings are amazing. I'd eat them every day if I could.

Good Morning!
I've been eating Fiber One for years. Up until last month I always ate it dry like you would popcorn. I'm not fond of cereal, if you don't wolf cereal down quickly, it gets soggy :halfempty: My DH like the light soy milk on his cereal and purchased a "Chocolate Light Soy Milk" a month ago. I tried it on my Fiber One with 1/2 sliced banana and it was delicious, just like eating dessert. Speaking of dessert, I sprinkle 1/2 serving of Fiber One on top of my SF pudding/FF Cool Whip. I'm a huge vegetable eater and have a hard time using up my calories for the day, sometimes at night I'll eat another bowl of cereal with the chocolate soy milk, yummy . I just checked my average fiber for the last 12 days, it's 42.25 grams per day. Thanks to Fiber One! It makes weight lost so much easier and keeps you full.

I like to mix it with other cereal. It boostst the total fiber content.

You can also make cheese sticks out of it. http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chew....php?isid=1156 those are very yummy.

Also these jalapeno poppers are great http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chew....php?isid=1014
