Corn flakes with no sugar!

[Jingthing]

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.

I haven’t had cornflakes in decades…

I think there is a trend away from cereals for breakfast but I still like them.

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.

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.

Corn flakes with built in sugar. 😃

But Cornflakes soon become too soggy for my liking.

Just eat them without the milk - or with slices of banana.

Eating Corn Flakes without milk is like eating a cheese sandwich without the bread.

Most breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar and refined grains. High sugar consumption is harmful and may increase your risk of several diseases.

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.

What about the regular kellogs or nestle cornflakes sold everywhere? Even in 7-11. It doesn't taste sweet to me.

[Jingthing]

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.

Interesting. Tastes like candy to me.

Crickey, that's a lot of corn flakes. 

 

Lucky you had it delivered, wouldn't be able to fit that on the scooter.

Kellogg's do.  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.

Gluten free?

Could be as these don't contain barley malt but it would depend on their factory conditions.

I prefer Nestle cornflakes that don't go soggy like Kellogg's.

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.

The 1st ingredient is far worse than sugar.

The sugar is the least of your worries.

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.
