I, like many people I know, have a mid-day (or mid-afternoon, or after-dinner) craving for sweet foods. For a long time this was turning into a downward spiral of me eating way too much ice cream. But then I had this idea...
See, I'm picky about the cereal I eat. Breakfast, for me, needs to be something with lots of whole grains, a good texture, and maybe some fruit or nuts. Simple carbs plus crazy amounts of sugar just doesn't cut it. I like cereals like Great Grains, Frosted Mini Wheats, museli, grape nuts, raisin bran, etc. I couldn't imagine eating something like Lucky Charms for breakfast - it would be like eating a bowl of ice cream...
...like ice cream, I say? Hmm. These cereals are by far sweet enough to satisfy those midday sweet cravings. Most of them tend to be fairly low-fat and vitamin/mineral-enriched. Way better for you than ice cream, chocolate, cupcakes, milkshakes, cookies, etc.
And so I've been satisfying my cravings with Cap'n Crunch peanut butter crunch.
Oh, cereal's cheaper than ice cream, too.
