Best hot cereal for health/taste?

[Anonymous]

I just got some of the Bob's Red Mill oat bran hot cereal and I love it. I just like it with salt and milk. Bob's has a bunch of different hot cereal mixes.

I think if you want to make it more interesting, cook with chopped fruit (I know people who like banana or apple cooked with the cereal) or add chopped fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds at the end.

Oatmeal is not cereal

Oatmeal is the most common "hot cereal" which is what OP asked about.

There was another thread on this if you are >30 you think it’s cereal, < 30 you do not.

Whether or not it's "cereal" it's definitely "hot cereal". Otherwise, what would hot cereal be? Fruit loops with siracha?

Are there really people who don't think of oatmeal as cereal, but do think of hot quinoa or grits or cream of wheat as cereal? I have trouble believing that.

Yeah, this needs more explanation... If you are under 30, what food category would you put oatmeal and cream of wheat in?

Well I agree that that needs explanation but the "oatmeal is not cereal" poster didn't object to grits or cream of wheat as cereal. So, how do they justify those two as cereal and not oatmeal? I think that people under 30 don't think of oatmeal as cereal don't think of the other two as cereal either.

I am so old and confused.

Bob Red mill organic old fashioned rolled oats. Cooks faster than steel cut oats but very healthy.
Add berries, walnuts etc

I heat up 1/2 cup of grape nuts with 1/2 cup skim milk. It's gross, but grape nuts don't have a ton of sugar and they do have a lot of fiber, 100% whole grains, and vitamin fortification.

I'm 39, I wouldn't call any of these cereal.

What do you call them? Small pieces of grain in a bowl eaten with a spoon?

I’m Canadian, and not sure if you ever could get it Stateside, but Red River cereal has always been my favourite. Only pain is it takes what feels like forever to cook.

It has cracked wheat in it, so gluten phobes wouldn’t touch it though.

Sadly, it’s discontinued now.

What would you put in the “hot cereal” category of not those 3 things?

I understand why people don’t like oatmeal but I’m confused at the “gross” part.

RE: the gross part

It has the texture of warm loogies. It makes me gag just thinking about it. In order to make it remotely edible you have to add sugar, syrup or dried fruit, all which make the healthy part pretty moot. But really it’s the texture.

Maybe you have “sensory processing disorder”?

Or because you don’t like it, you could just let people enjoy it and say “no thank you, that’s not my favourite”.

No disorder here. I’m not the only one who posted that they didn’t like it, and this thread is more than just oatmeal. I was simply following up to the why.

NP: One poster asked a question and the other responded. I don't eat raw bananas because the texture is disgusting to me. If you add old-fashioned oats to already boiling water and then don't cook for two long they have a less mushy texture-or maybe you just don't like oatmeal, and that's okay
