My mom was crazy strict about cereal growing up in the 80s, so I only ever got Total (if I was lucky), Grape Nuts, plain unfrosted shredded wheat, and Bran Flakes. She even said Raisin Bran was too much sugar! When we went on road trips I remember being obsessed with Cheerios and Frosted Flakes at the hotels, and the milk was HEAVENLY. My mom said it was because it was this gross thing called whole milk and that you could see the globs of fat floating in it. She had an eating disorder if it wasn’t obvious, and only ever let me have skim that she had double skimmed herself. IDGAF - Hotel milk was amazing.

So now I fucking love cereal and my husband and I have it for dinner about once a week. My sweet spot is for Golden Grahams and Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, but I’d forgotten about Cinnamon Life someone mentioned, that shit was amazing. We do have a bowl of Raisin Bran first just to get our fiber, but then we get our favorite. Always with Fairlife whole milk, I realize it’s more calories but holy shit it’s worth it.
