that is so smart! America, get it together!!

+Mind Over Munch i love ur energy! your hilirious:) thx for all the vids!!

My brother and sister-in-law have lived in Japan for many years. The stores there don't sell any sugary cereals. The only stuff they could get was Honey Nut Cheerios and things like that. No Lucky Charms, no Cap'n Crunch, no Frosted Flakes.

Wow

In Japan too! We sell in it small paper cups,and they say it to eat in moderation as a snack! Plus sugary granolas too.

+Nique 08 Cap'n Crunch is so good!!!

Kashi Lean cereal is good. It is healthy, non-GMO, and it has more realistic serving sizes than many other cereals, like Cocoa/Fruity/Peanut Butter & Cocoa Pebbles, Casptain Crunch, etc.

There is kix cereal serving size is 1 1/4 cup :) 120 Cals low sugar almost no fat 1g

I stopped eating cereal at 9 because of a certain ingredient called tsp

I ask myself where was this information when we all were kids. Second you don’t have to give up the foods you enjoy just cut the amount, eat the capt one in a blue just excuse and replace the capt with a healthy option. I eat the capt when I have a craving that’s like in a whole one maybe twice a year a strong maybe

lol definitely not!

I had a coworker who, at the time, was 32 years old and she loved Lucky Charms. She used to ask everyone to give her coupons from the Sunday Paper for Lucky Charms cereal.

+Lex Went Vegan i guess because im an adult and non of my friends or roommates throughout the years have ever bought cereal it was usually just me 😂 my family doesnt even eat cereal

I get excited for cereal in the morning the night before

Maya Cheerleader frr me to😂😂

great idea, this definitely is on the list, thanks!

I would love that

I know a lot of those vegan/vegetarians foods have something bean or nuts. Pitiful

yes please do this!! i definitely need to find out what are some healthier fake meat brands as i do know a lot of them contain unnatural/bad ingredients x

Lydia C - just look at the ingredients on the label. There are loads of different options for patties and sausage/hot dog shapes of vegan/vegetarian food. You don’t have to get soy, there are other beans.... plus nutritious grains and veg. I don’t have any trouble with soy protein isolate or wheat protein isolate or concentrate and actually digest those better than whole soy or wheat, something else in wheat bothers me. So that’s not a deal breaker for me although I would rather not overdose on soy. Morningstar Farms is often in mainstream groceries but they use an awful lot of egg white (the worst part of the egg for me, I’m allergic). But more recently they’ve been doing more actually vegan (egg and dairy free) stuff. Their vegan beef and chicken strips in the meal starter line are good for making things like meatless chicken salad (but chopped up garbanzo beans work as well, I make a no-tuna tuna salad from them). I tried their new even more overpriced vegan quarter pounder patties- I really like the meat lovers one, but just eat half a burger at a time because it’s too high in protein and calories for me in a single meal. I didn’t love their veggie lovers one, though. It was ok but meh. You just have to try the different varieties, look at ingredients, and look at the nutritional info to check for what matches your own needs. I really like Qrunch products, which use other grains (especially my fave millet) and quinoa. Their toaster sticks are wonderful but their patties are pretty good also. I like Tofurky products usually, but read the label to see if you object to anything. Their deli slices are nice for sandwiches or quick snacks by themselves or salads. Gardein beefless tips and porkless BBQ pockets are favorites of mine. Louisville Vegan jerkies are soft and can be easily used in sandwiches and casseroles (my fave is the maple bacon flavor, they are soy-based). Boca has a really good vegan burger and also an American Classic that includes a little cheese inside it. I like Loma Linda (in cans) for hot dogs and Redi-burger (I slice the ground beef like Redi-Burger into patties while pushing them out of the can from the back). Patties are a versatile shape since they can be used for sandwiches but also can be broken up for any other kind of dish. There are loads of other brands I can get mailorder (no car, otherwise I know I could get a lot at Kroger’s or Meijer’s). Browsing at veganessentials.com can show you the variety available. Prices are always so high that this limits me pretty easily from overeating any of this... I have to eat mainly vegan due to allergies as well as being vegetarian, and you definitely do not need to buy any of this stuff to have a good diet. They are just convenient. You can also get recipes to make your own meatless patties and sausages and then you have complete control over the ingredients. The results can easily be shaped into patties and individually frozen, just as I always do with the commercial stuff. If you like the taste of sausages, you can actually buy the spices used for convenience.

yes! Europe has it together way better than we do! So silly!

@@MindOverMunch definitely. I wanna move there lol

Oh nice what a great idea!

Mind Over Munch Those Uncle Sam's cereals with your own dried fruit are amazing! I've also used powdered freeze dried fruit for flavor dusting. I still like them plain just fine though--even my 7 and 4 year olds do!

It'd be cool if they had an unsweetened option as well.

so good!

🤮

YAASS 🎤

all junk

Hi. once again a very good video with a critical topic well explained! I dont know about you but when I read ingredients lists I always watch out for palm oil and it is horryfying where all it is in- it is a mass product really hardcorely damaging the rainforest. Now I also saw palmoil on some of your cereal boxes and remembered. It would be nice if u maybe used your big community and mentioned something about this harmkess seeming ingredient. I could tell you stories about the weirdest things I found palm oil in, like dried herbs:'D yeah. I really support you and you inspire me as you know! would be happy if u mentioned "my problem":)

+Mind Over Munch Hi! What about the whole grain cereal from ralston's food? Is it healthy???

I'm investigating the best guide for developing 6 packs quickly and found a fantastic resource at Toms Magic Shortcut (google it if you are interested)

What are your thoughts on weet-a-bix?

Simply Eva i love weetabix!

Thank you SO much! I'm glad you're enjoying! That's a huge compliments, those are 2 of my favorite shows and I've always admired Alton Brown!

LOL. I think for some of us, we just won't ever really be adults when it comes to cereal...

Budget Girl sheesh eat a salad

Organic, low added refined sugar, low salt, low fat, whole grain. Those are the guidelines.

Great!!! An absolutely informative, and attention getting- keeping presentation/ performance. Of course as a child and sometimes as a young adult I knew it was sweet and tasty but didn't focus too much on

:) YES! Those are so good :) Great suggestions!

mini wheats are so good!

:) Awesome! Great choices!

@@MindOverMunch only halfway decent one is Honey Nut Cheerios and even that has too much sugar. Just plain Cheerios, add fruit and have an actual healthy cereal !

thank you very much!

Good choice, I love oatmeal!

Mind Over Munch omg I didn't think you would respond thanks :-)

Totally. All of the choices here are unhealthy. No need for all the fancy stuff. Oatmeall, banana and apple, what else do you need

Nicholas Giordano I really, really love steel cut oats. I bake a big pot in the oven & toast the oats for a few minutes on the stove top before I mix it all together & let me tell you, it really kicks the oatmeal up a few notches. It kind of gives it a similar taste to Honey Smacks :D (I also throw a little bit of plain greek yogurt in to make it creamy & it also helps me hit my protein goal for the day!)

Boriiiiiing

awesome!! Thank you!

Thank you so much!!

ok great! Thanks!

Ditto on that! Overnight Oats are my thing!

Agreed!

omg YASSSS!!!

Cierra S. White if you don't love golden grams you're dead to me

Cap'n crunch was one of my fav's. Too high in sugar.

my pleasure, thank you!

They are so good!!

thank you! Love you!

lol! I feel you!

nosh... 😛

yay! I love making these ones, too :) thank you!

It is my pleasure, thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate the feedback :)

Thank you Jade!!

That makes my day!! I am so glad you found it useful, I really appreciate it! :) Happy to have you here! Cheers

i forgot to mention i subscribed to your channel 😉

Mind Over Munch i would appreciate if you help me with this. These are the nutrition facts of my local cereal brand that is very popular in our country just wanna know is this right to eat or should i move to another cereal? CORN FLAKES INGREDIENTS: Corn Semolina, Malt Extract, Sugar & Salt.

my pleasure!

My pleasure, thank you!

Sounds like a great idea! Add your own raisins that aren't coated in sugar, and add a bit less of them :)

I'm grateful you did this. I had no idea about the Raisin Bran. My daughter loves it and I thought it was healthy. Trader Joe's is Bae--my teens would cringe hearing me say that :) Where do you buy it? I have never noticed it before.

CherishMyDaughter I cringed reading it.

Wow! Great point to consider :)

thank you so much!

Great idea, thank you!

oh SOOO good@

Yup!

Plain cheerios are such a great choice! Love them! :)

love both of those :)

YUM I love CTC!

awesome! Thank you so much :) I know it can be hard to decipher all of those health claims but it can be done! So glad you found it useful :) Thank you!

Corn flakes are great, honestly I do like the taste!!

LOL I'm glad you can get some laughs from these videos! It can be humorous! :) And we do need to get honest!

thank you!

thank you!

lucky!

Thank you! and LOL you aren't the first time to say that 😂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z56omqibsrTIiWg.html

I'm so glad to hear that, thank you!

haha, thank you! We are cereal fans too :) Love from LA!

YES I'm a huge cereal fanatic :) even the sweet ones lol

LOL I love puffins!! SO GOOD

thank you so much!

mmm I love coconut!

Dang makes wonderful coconut chips. Basically just coconut, coconut oil, salt, and coconut sugar... They also make excellent onion chips now, made from sliced onions, oil, salt, and some kind of tapioca dextrin for processing probably. I’ve also had good bacon-flavored coconut chips, I think from the Phoney Baloney company. No pigs were injured in the making of those bacon chips.

that's a great combo though!

yay! Thank you :)

thank you! trust me, I am hungry for cereal, too!!

Do a google search, there's so many!! I think peta also has a list

Is cereal not vegan? I'm not vegan just curious

Abby Nosovitsky on it :)

Jimmy Holland a lot of them contain dairy, honey, eggs or other sneaky animal ingredients. but there are vegan cereals out there

it depends on the cereal, always important to read the ingredients list to know for sure :)

great suggestion, thank you!

yay! Thank you! Welcome to the channel, happy to have you here!!

One of my favorites too!

It is really good!!

🍯 bunches of oats cinnamon! Love it...

LOL! I think life was pretty close but maybe SLIGHTLY too high on sugar? can't remember but I know it was close, and I do love life!!

Life is great; life cereal is NOT

It's so good!

thank you!

Nice!

Mind Over Munch Where do you buy Uncle Sam at?

VanityBarbie23 amazon

yaaas I'm with you!

YES cereal is my guilty pleasure, too! Glad you enjoyed this video, and so happy to have you here! :) :)

I think we have it but I've never tried!

Mind Over Munch They have Weetabix at the Trader Joe's in my area and it's delicious with a handful of raspberries!

I found a box at Publix I got so excited, I only ever saw it on KZfaq videos from channels over in Europe. I'm curious as to how they taste compared to a us cereal.

Wheat is BAD and you are thinking of Vita Brits. Weetbix has sugar and other crap.

that's a great idea! Love bulking up the cereal with healthy options!

awesome, thank you! :) I appreciate it!

OMG YUM!!

I didn't talk about it, just one of the ones I had for reference. It falls into the same category as many of the other deceiving ones though, still higher in sugar :) The point here was to help offer guidance for making your own decisions, not to actually suggest which ones to eat or avoid :) Cheers

lol I LOVE cereal, glad this video was helpful for you!! :)

I love multigrain cheerios too!!

Mind Over Munch I love all sweetened cereal you are brave for buying all those sugar cereals! haha my cereal bowl is a mixing bowl. lol

lol!! We just filmed a Facebook video where a cereal bowl is a popcorn bowl lol. I am obsessed with all sweetened cereal. I can't keep it in the house and when we did this episode it was dangerous times! haha

nice choice!

@@MindOverMunch Is honey bunches of oats okay?

yay! Me too, thank you!

yay, so glad you found it useful, thanks! The power O's are surprisingly not bad!

Thank you for putting in all the work, so much research went into this video!!

YUM I loved cookie crisp :)

Oh, yes! I liked the chocolate chip! I ate them instead of cookies.. I was briefly a fan of Krave also when they first came out, but it was kind of chocolate overload after a while. I’m kind of put off by the sentient Krave squares in the commercials. I don’t really like my cereal to be alive.

I got a huge bag of knock offs cookie crisps in my pantry of them right now. 😅

One of the worst cereals. I use to buy it a lot. Taste good but so bad.

Thank you!! I agree, plain cheerios aren't my favorite but I can totally eat them and be happy :) Thanks for the suggestion, will add it to the list! The problem with most frozen meals is sodium... but maybe I can do some investigating :) Cheers

yes! every once in a while it satisfies :)

It is my responsibility to be thorough in these educational videos- If I am more "to the point" then I will overlook important factors that people need to be aware of. I am providing the information so I will do it in the way that is best for my audiences educational purposes- it is important that I never tell anyone what to do- I want to encourage people to make informed decisions, and they must be informed to be able to do that. I must offer the information for them to be informed. Make sense? Cheers

Mind Over Munch so quick responding xd

lol, thank you! So glad you liked it :)

that is so awesome, thank you so much!

they are so good!

Yes! I love Life too!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you! I really appreciate it!

Thanks you gave me a healthy alternative :)

yes!! We do have them, thanks for sharing!! Great choice :)

Thank you so much!!!

thanks for the suggestion! :)
