I think we can all agree that cereal is not just for kids and especially not just for breakfast. And whether you eat cereal with milk, dry, or as an ice cream topping (we don’t judge), there are endless choices. That’s why we’ve rounded up the 20 best cereals that continue to reign supreme as the breakfast of champions.

So, if you’re a lover of classic bran flakes, or you’d rather opt for the sweetest, wackiest flavor combinations imaginable, the breakfast cereal aisle has a little something for everyone — and so does this list.

Kellogg’s Froot Loops

Something about that first bite of Froot Loops is so crunchy, sweet, and satisfying that — if you’re anything like us, at least — you’ll tear through a whole bowl in record time just to have a second helping.

Kellogg’s Cookies & Crème Krispies

If you’re looking for a twist on an all-time favorite, this is IT. Kellogg’s really outdid themselves with this sugary, sweet gem. Cookies & Creme Krispies feature chocolate flavored cookie bits and tasty creme flavor. YUM.

Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Breakfast Cereal

https://amzn.to/2FhKaj8

If we’ve learned anything from our childhood, it was that Frosted Flakes are most certainly not just your average run-of-the-mill corn flakes. Oven-toasted and frosted to perfection, these Tony the Tiger-approved corn flakes are so good, they’re gr-r-reat.

Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Crispy Almonds

https://amzn.to/33gIjCQ

This cereal has a little bit of everything. Almonds, granola clusters, and crispy flakes fill every delicious spoonful. Honey Bunches of Oats packs 10 grams of whole grains per serving, as well as nine essential vitamins and minerals.

General Mills Lucky Charms

Something about that first bite of Froot Loops is so crunchy, sweet, and satisfying that — if you’re anything like us, at least — you’ll tear through a whole bowl in record time just to have a second helping.

General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Another crowd-pleaser, Cinnamon Toast Crunch wins the all-important award for most delicious leftover cereal milk at the bottom of the bowl. These crunchy little squares also taste delicious crumbled into pastry crusts or used as a topping in other baked goods.

General Mills Cocoa Puffs

https://amzn.to/2Zwy0cK

If you are a chocolate lover, there is no question that this is your absolute favorite breakfast cereal of all time. Cocoa Puffs start out with a super crunchy puffed texture that slowly morphs into soft flavor sponges as the milk sets in.

Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats

https://amzn.to/33lQVbz

Made with eight crunchy layers of whole grains with a thin layer of frosting, Mini Wheats are actually loaded with 9 grams of fiber per serving to keep you fuller longer.

Plus, there’s that magical texture moment when the frosting begins to melt off into the milk and time stands still.

Kellogg’s Apple Jacks

https://amzn.to/32m4lF7

A perfect balance between texture and flavor, the crystallized flavor dots wrapped around each neon orange and green ring adds a surprising amount of apple-cinnamon sweetness and crunch to each bite of Apple Jacks.
