Three-minute cereal rule for perfect breakfast
A poll of 2,000 adults revealed that 48% regularly enjoy a bowl of cereal for breakfast Cereal lovers have a mere three-minute window to eat their breakfast before it turns too soggy, according to a recent survey. A poll of 2,000 adults disclosed that nearly half regularly savour a bowl of cereal for breakfast, but almost a third admit to fretting about it becoming overly soft due to an excess of milk. For 15%, starting the day with a soggy bowl of cereal can completely ruin their morning. Yet while over half insist their cereal must maintain its crunch to be truly enjoyed, some actually confessed they prefer a softer texture (14%). The study was commissioned by Kellogg's to celebrate the launch of Oaties – an oat-based cereal. Food scientists have spent the past year and a half developing the cereal, resulting in what they believe is the first "sog-resistant" cereal, thanks to what they say is its unique shape and high fibre ingredients. Seven out of ten parents stated that cereal makes for a smoother morning routine for their children. The majority of parents choose to serve their children cereal due to its quick preparation time. What milk people use on cereal and which toppings An additional 49% admitted it's one of the few meals their children genuinely enjoy. The research also discovered that most Brits still favour dairy milk with their cereal, but many are branching out and trying alternatives such as oat and almond milk, reports Surrey Live. Some are even contemplating the use of hot chocolate for a unique spin. When it comes to cereal toppings, people are becoming increasingly adventurous, with ice cream, avocado, cheese, and even hard-boiled eggs being considered by cereal enthusiasts, according to Kellogg's. Despite these creative choices, traditional toppings remain the favourites, with fresh fruit, honey, and yoghurt being popular. Additionally, there's a rising trend of adding protein powder into cereal. NHS guidance on cereal The NHS website advises: "Cereal products are made from grains. Wholegrain cereals can contribute to our daily intake of iron, fibre, B vitamins and protein. Higher-fibre options can also provide a slow release of energy. "Wheat, oats, barley, rye and rice are commonly available cereals that can be eaten as wholegrains. This means cereal products consisting of oats or oatmeal, such as porridge, and wholewheat products are healthy breakfast options. "Barley, couscous, corn and tapioca also count as healthy cereal products. Many cereal products in the UK are refined, with low wholegrain content. They can also be high in added salt and sugar. "When you're shopping for cereals, check the food labels to compare different products." The late Dr Michael Mosley had strong opinions regarding cereals, advising slimmers to slash their intake of certain foods. He said: "That includes most breakfast cereals, which are usually full of sugar, as well as most commercial smoothies." Further warning against misleadingly healthy options, he cautioned: "Be cautious as even the ones with high fibre ingredients, like bran and oats, are still laden with sugar."

Brits say their mornings are 'ruined' if this one thing happens at breakfast
Cereal enthusiasts have a mere three-minute window to polish off their bowl before the dreaded sogginess sets in, ruining what is often hailed as the most important meal of the day, reveals a recent survey. The poll, which surveyed 2,000 adults, discovered that while 48% enjoy a bowl of cereal most mornings, 32% admit to panicking about it going limp in too much milk. For 15%, beginning the day with a soggy serving is enough to spoil their entire morning. However, not everyone is averse to a bit of sogginess – 14% actually favour their cereal fully drenched, whereas 51% insist on maintaining the crunch for maximum enjoyment. This research was commissioned by Kellogg's to celebrate the launch of Oaties – a new oat-based cereal. Food scientists have dedicated the past 18 months to developing the cereal, resulting in what is thought to be the first 'sog-defying' cereal, courtesy of its unique shape and high fibre ingredients. Seven in ten parents said that cereal helps create a smoother routine for their children in the morning. The majority of parents prefer to give it to their kids as it is quick to prepare and 49% admitted it's one of the only meals their kids will actually eat. The study also uncovered a strong allegiance to dairy with 91% choosing cow's milk for their cereal. In terms of dairy alternatives, oat milk has been sampled by 38%, almond milk by 33% and 18% have even contemplated using hot chocolate. Cereal toppings are becoming increasingly adventurous too, with 13% contemplating adding ice cream, while 10% may add avocado, and 8% have flirted with toppings like cheese or even a hard-boiled egg. Meanwhile, traditional toppings still reign supreme, with 33% opting for fresh fruit, 23% favouring a drizzle of honey and 21% stirring in yoghurt. In addition, 7% are adding a scoop of protein powder to their morning meal for an extra boost.
