I'm addicted to Cinnamon Life, but it has enough sugar (read: some) that I don't know if it's healthy enough for your needs. Regular Life has a lower sugar content, but is still tasty enough to not get monotonous, so it doesn't have the Cheerios problem. I'd give that a try.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
All cereals are, health-wise, pretty much the same. A bunch of added sugar, white flour, enough whole grain that they can say "with whole grain", added vitamins that you don't really need if you aren't eating similar-quality food for the rest of the day.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
I always have a box of Kashi Cereal lying around. Toasted berry crumble, I believe. It's a bit costly, but it is my favorite cereal. My 3 boxes of cereal tend to be Kashi (any of the Go Lean! line recently), Raisin Bran, and Special K Chocolaty Delight/Red Berries.
@Cellion: I'll have to try Weetabix if I find it. Don't know if my local supermarket carries it, but it looks rather interesting. We tend to have lots of ingredients that I can add to this to make it different every day.
May Tony the tiger bless us with delicious crunchy and sugary goodness
Do you know about the new, Chocolate Frosted Flakes? yeah... as if they weren't sugary enough. Lets get our kids more wired! WEEEEE! Also, Kelloggs has added marshmallows to Froot-Loops.
My favorite cereals are Peanut Butter Crunch (not the healthiest of course, but damn are they tasty. I often munch on 'em just for a snack), Raisin Nut Bran, and Honey Bunches of Oats.

(about the English language) It's kinda like a raft that was cobbled together from parts of three different boats and since then has been kept barely afloat with crude repairs every time a leak appeared.
Keep in mind that the OP is looking for HEALTHY cereal alternatives. Frosted Flakes and even Raisin Bran are just glorified candy in a box because of their low fiber/empty carb ratio.
This one's a little pricy, but I like Total Cinnamon Crunch. It's like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but it uses a no-carb sweetener in place of sugar, and it's loaded with vitamins and fiber.
Lately I've been adding a table spoon of old fashioned peanut butter and some no-sugar-added Nesquick to my cheerios. Mixing it up to break down the PB is a pain, but the taste is worth it.

Steel cut Oatmeal / rolled oats is pretty good for you, especially compared to cold breakfast cereals. Top it with fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, granola, brown sugar, maple syrup... it's simple but there's a lot of variety.
*Important distinction: Steel-cut requires boiling water and about 30 minutes to prepare, but it's sooooo worth it. Blows Quaker instant oatmeal out of the water.

i suspect the steel cut part is just some kind of fad or hype. i checked the box of the steel cut and the non steel cut. all the nutritional data was identical, fiber, calorie, etc.
whats more, straight up steel cut non instand oatmeal takes like 30 minutes to fully cook! who can wait that long to break their fast in the morning!
i cooked it one morning and after finding it not fully cooked after 20 minutes, i never went back to it.
the sprouted cereals are supposed to be good for you as well.
there are also other types of hot cereals buckwheat, etc. you can often find them in the gluten free section of the supermarket.

We're starting a frosted flakes cult
