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.

General Mills Wheaties

This classic isn't called the breakfast of champions for nothing. Wheaties contains no artificial flavors or colors, is a good source of fiber, and provides substantial nutrients so you can fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

Kellogg's Frosted 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. Frosted Krispies feature the classic puffed rice in bite size form. YUM.

Three Wishes Honey Flavored Grain-Free Cereal

This delicious honey flavored cereal is a perfect option for those with certain diet restrictions. Vegan, grain-free, and kosher, this cereal is packed with protein and makes for an excellent way to fuel up for the day. The honey flavor is indeed free of honey so that those with vegan diets can fully enjoy!

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Breakfast Cereal

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

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

You know the jingle and you know the crunch. Did you also know this mega pack of sweet and nostalgic Lucky Charms is also gluten-free?

General Mills Cocoa Puffs

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.

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.

Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats

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.

General Mills Kix

Something about Kix takes us back to watching cartoons on a Saturday morning. This delicious cereal is sweet, simple, and wholesome — and it's a good source of calcium and vitamin D.

Feelin' a little nostalgic? This cereal is a must.

Kellogg's Apple Jacks

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.

General Mills Multi Grain Cheerios

Another tried-and-true cereal, Cheerios are a classic choice that hold the unique distinction of being just as delicious eaten dry versus submerged in milk. We like Multi Grain Cheerios for a more nutritious and gluten-free start to your day.

Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries

Original Cap'n Crunch is downright delicious and can hold its own in the cereal aisle, but in our opinion, Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries is even better. The sweetened corn and oat berry shapes add fruity flavor to the mix, making each bite a little more interesting than its original parent flavor.

Kashi GO Peanut Butter Crunch

With 13 grams of whole grains and 6 grams of fiber per serving, Kashi GO makes for a super nutritious start to your day. Plus, the Peanut Butter flavor is packed with protein.

General Mills Cookie Crisp

Another sugary sweet dessert-for-breakfast-style treat, Cookie Crisp is the obvious choice for all you cookie monsters out there. The modern recipe is fortified with more vitamins and minerals than the original ingredient list, making this at least a semi-nutritious option for little ones.

Barbara's Bakery Peanut Butter Puffins

Made with real peanut butter and without any artificial colors or flavors, Barbara's Peanut Butter Puffins are free of the most common food allergens for school-safe snacking.

Post Fruity Pebbles

Need a little color in your breakfast cereal? We suggest Fruity Pebbles. This sweet rainbow treat is great alone, but even better as a topping to vanilla ice cream.

Kellogg's Raisin Bran

Classic Raisin Bran is a cereal created with a nod to the basic pleasure of textural contrasts. Chewy sweetened raisins mingle with the crunchy crisp of whole grain wheat and bran flakes for a satisfying and layered bite.

Quaker Life Cinnamon Breakfast Cereal

Another classic option, Quaker's Life Cereal is a family favorite with its simple ingredient list that includes 18 grams of whole grains per serving.
