It was so cereal
When I was a kid, I drank way too much milk. So much so, that my parents had a rule that I couldn’t drink it before dinner because I’d get too full and wouldn’t eat. My fingernails were super strong, each strand of my hair like a rope, and I had never broken a bone. Total milk overload.
When I was 13, I had an ovarian cyst which was first diagnosed as lactose intolerance – so I had to take a few weeks away from dairy to see if the pain went away. It didn’t, but when I was allowed a glass of milk again... I hated it. The taste (and concept) freaked me out. I haven’t had milk anywhere but in coffee since 1994.
But now that I’m pregnant, I’m back on the juice. Still can’t do regular milk, but chocolate milk? AMAZING. And the best thing that comes with milk is CEREAL. Apparently, I have been living in the dark for 15 years. There are so many delicious healthy organic-food-isle choices with protein and fiber and everything, but the last time we were at the store, Nat convinced me to take a walk down the regular cereal isle, AKA memory lane.
Suddenly, I was having flashbacks:
My favorite cereal when I was a kid was LIFE (Mikey likes it!). Nat’s was KIX (kid tested, mother approved). We were born in the early 80s.
What was your favorite cereal as a kid? Let's reminisce!

Comments
I actually have been lactose intolerant since I was 22 and I can only have milk (the lactose free stuff) on my cereal, so that's the only way I get any dairy. I'm also a big fan of Berry Berry Kix, Crispix and Honey Bunches of Oats.
PS I love milk. I drink a huge 16 oz glass every night. If you love chocolate milk you should try ovaltine. Its my fave and its packed with vitamins!
