@calender97 what is cheerios medley?  

---

Kashi cinnamon. 16 pillows 2 points. I put a container of yogurt with it with 1/2 cup blueberries or use skim milk Whole grain has protein. Satisfying.  

Answer 2

Rice krispies or corn flakes seem to get you the most bang for your buck, I mean points. I always use almond milk. 1 pt for 1 cup.  

Answer 3

I get Cherrios (the original-none of the flavored); Special K(again the original); mini bite-size Shredded Wheat(obviously not the frosted) or Rice Krispies. you seem to get a reasonable size serving for low points; then I use 1% Lactaid low fat milk (I’m lactose intolerant); top off with a 0 point banana ; 1 1/2 cup of Rice Krispies+1/2 cup milk+banana=6 point breakfast. I don’t eat cereal everyday but when I’m craving it this is a decent # of point go-to; even for lunch or dinner!
