Jingthing Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Impossible to find in groceries. Years ago there was an imported German brand but they cost more than the sweet ones! Anyway there is a source now on Lazada. A whopping entire kilo for 164 baht (plus shipping). The plastic bag is so big you'll need need to buy plastic containers to store all the product once opened. Yes they're corn flakes. Yes there is no sugar. You can make sweeter with fresh fruit, or whatever.

What I do is kind of extra. A few spoons of grape nuts A few spoons of no sugar puffed rice A few spoons of no sugar corn flakes 1/2 no sugar McGarrett multigrain muesli 1 Brazil nut 5 almonds Tablespoon roasted pumpkin seeds Sliced banana Other fruit such as papaya, blueberries, mango, melon, apple No sugar yogurt OR oatmilk mixed with cold water CRUNCHY and DELISH. I recently added the grape nuts again after years of not buying them because they're so expensive. But when it's just a few spoons, they last a long time, and the texture and taste from that small amount adds a lot.

Jingthing Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 4 minutes ago, chickenslegs said: I prefer Frosties - they're Gr-r-reat ... Well clearly the sugary stuff is popular because almost every cereal sold in groceries is like that. To me that stuff is for kids with parents that don't know anything about nutrition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still kicking Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Most breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar and refined grains. High sugar consumption is harmful and may increase your risk of several diseases. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, cornflakes are pretty much considered a junk food nowadays. Was always a shredded wheat or weetabix man myself. Don't know if they're much better.

EdrigoSalvadore Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 What about the regular kellogs or nestle cornflakes sold everywhere? Even in 7-11. It doesn't taste sweet to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 (edited) Sounds like unsweetened corn flakes are OK but not great. The brand I mentioned has no flavor additives as well. As noted in my breakfast recipe I use 1/2 cup whole multi grains no sugar muesli for the bulk of the bowl which is definitely healthier than processed cereal. I like to add some corn flakes for the flavor of corn and the texture. https://www.foodsforbetterhealth.com/are-corn-flakes-healthy-34164 Edited January 5 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestle, not so much (as fast), and depending on bowl size, two smaller servings instead of 1 large serving helps, if a slow eater Simple solution to simple problem.

frantick Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Sugar is the 2nd most ingredient in Nestle Corn Flakes, even though it's difficult to tell. But I eat them with a banana and milk almost every day. I have to stop. My mother, a former farm girl, always said corn was used to fatten up the pigs. I am, unfortunately, living proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 15 hours ago, EdrigoSalvadore said: What about the regular kellogs or nestle cornflakes sold everywhere? Even in 7-11. It doesn't taste sweet to me. Did some search and both regular Kellogs as well as Nestle contain about 8 to 10 grams of sugar per 100 gram. If you chew them dry you will notice that it must be sweetened. Much less though than the choco stuff etc. I eat Kellogs and will continue. 100 grams is much more than a serving. The few grams are far from what I consume with chocolate etc. (I am an addict). To me it looks like Kellogs is made from drum rolled corn while Nestle is some extruder product from corn porridge. Just to uniform and lot of fine bubbles included ("foamy"). Tried it and don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
