Today, I’m tackling an age-old question: what type of milk is best for cereal? Pardon the pun, but to spoil the rest of the blog, my answer to this is, “it’s the consumer’s choice.”

Yes, you’ll hear from the whole milk backers who will say anything less isn’t milk. There are those who oppose and say that whole milk is just too thick. A good compromise for that segment of the population is probably 2% milk. I grew up in a household where it was 2% or nothing. I never really questioned it, and it didn’t impact the way I ate my Super Mario Bros. and Zelda cereal.

Somewhere along the line, as I began to age, I transitioned to 1% milk. Yes, I’m a 1-percenter. *hangs head in shame* I wish I could offer a better reasoning behind this, but I think I switched to 1% because it was slightly cheaper. To this day, I still use 1%, although I’m not opposed to using 2% or whole milk.

Then there are the skim milk drinkers and users. I wish I could say something nice about skim milk, but to me it just looks like dirty dishwasher water. But hey, you do you. If you want to put pale water over cereal, have at it.

So the answer to “what milk is best for cereal” is it all depends on your preference, but just don’t use water. If you use water on cereal, you don’t deserve cereal.

What type of milk do you use on cereal and why? Sound off in the comment section.
