Hey gang..I miss cold cereal/milk in the mornings..any suggestions that are safe for us? (and that have at least a little protein? AND..need a suggestion about adding some granola or something crunchy to my yogurt. What kind? Most I have found have a lot of fat...Thanks!

Most processed cereals aren't worth the calories and carbs. You might consider oatmeal as a healthier option. For your yogurt, try wheat germ or ground flax seeds. Wheat germ is a good source of protein and is whole grain. It contains iron and omega 3 and 6 and is an excellent source of fiber.

I agree with John. I had a half serving of frosted mini wheats with a 1/4 of milk for breakfast one day this week and had to add in a protein shake later in the day to make up for the protein without a ton of calories. I would like to try Kashi though.

I love the original Kashi Go Lean (not the Crunch). It has 13 grams Protein, 10 grams fiber, and only 1 gram fat in one cup. A little high in carbs (30), but it's only a portion of what I'm allowed, so I'm careful the rest of the day.

I eat it with almond milk, and it's very satisfying.

Thanks guys..didn't think about Kashi..I don't mind the sacrifice later in the day to get a little crunch. I am not minding what I eat so much, I love my chicken salads and taco meat, etc..but sometimes the soft meat stuff gets old!

My nut said I could have Rice Krispies which is easy going down. I am only 7 weeks post-op.

My Doctor recommends the Kashi Cerals....I like the Go Lean Crunch....I like crunchy stuff

Just an update..I found "Bare Naked Fit" granola in the cereal aisle..low fat (2.5gm), 22 carbs, 4gm protein in 1/4 cup...I use less, just a spoonful in my yogurt and it helps with the need for the crunch!

Special K makes a protein version now. 9 or 10 grams I think. Tastes pretty good. And I put it in my yogurt sometimes too.

I like Fiber One (original) mixed into yogurt. It has 17 grams of fiber and 11 grams of carb for 1/2 a cup.

Grape nuts cereal is good mixed in yogurt too. I eat Kashi go lean crunch, or wheat chex once a week or so for something crunchy in the morning.
