All Bran Buds is nearly identical in texture and has loads of fiber!


bubbles_24601

Ooh! Good to know!


LukeNaround23

Found the one person who likes grape nuts. Try oatmeal or crackling oat bran is pretty good and crunchy. Also, start taking Metamucil to supplement fiber.

I love Grape Nuts but we stopped eating cold cereal.


johjo_has_opinions

I love Grape Nuts. It was my grandmother’s favorite cereal and always reminds me of her


Smurfblossom

I love Grape Nuts!


Smogggy00

Last time grape nuts got brought up here, I got down voted to all hell. Good luck!!!


Unstep-in-Time

That's silly but it is the worst cereal I ever tasted. It was like eating small pepples that you found in your shoes.


BiggimusSmallicus

Someone else said this uptrend so I'll do my part as a grape nuts lover here: make the bowl of cereal then pop it in the microwave for a minute or so. Softens right up


its_still_good

I do about 20-30 seconds. It softens it up so you don't break a tooth but still has some crunch.


caterplillar

Or add yogurt and fruit or jelly! Delicious.


myrtlebeachbums

Aquarium gravel should be roughly the same texture, but may not have quite the same nutritional value.


LeeBrie

This made me laugh! Yeah, the cereal does have quite a texture doesn’t it? Not really my thing to be fair.


Pessemist_Prime

Add milk and heat it up in the microwave for one to one and a half minutes. Life-changing. 


CaptainLollygag

Or add the milk and just let it sit there for about 5 mins. The top stays crunchy and the lower you go the nuggets soften. If you dig in your spoon like you're taking a core sample, you get a bite with multiple textures. Mmmm.


bubbles_24601

That’s how I do it! Love some Grape Nuts.


CaptainLollygag

Another core sampler! Mmm, I may just have a bowl for dinner.


BiggimusSmallicus

This is the way. I've converted people like this


Lunatic-Cafe-529

I'm pretty sure that was sold under the brand name Quarry. Made conversations at the breakfast table challenging.

Shredded wheat cereal is high in fiber. Add on 2 or 3 different types of fruit, some greek yogurt and milk. Or replace the shredded wheat with rolled oats.


Salty-Jaguar-2346

Yes, and depending on what s/he likes, the shredded wheat minis and the full-size biscuits are very different in texture. One is sure to be appealing


RiotHyena

Shredded mini wheats are rad. Hard to beat a simple bowl of shredded mini wheats in vanilla greek yoghurt and some berries mixed in.


Kiwi-VonFluffington

I don't have a cereal suggestion, but another easy way to get more fiber is to add psyllium husk powder to a smoothie. It has a really off-putting texture in water but just makes a smoothie extra thick. You also get extra fiber from the fruit.


AllswellinEndwell

Try supplementing a cereal you like with Chia seeds. Alternatively my wife eats sprouted bread with nut butter and Chia seeds sprinkled on it. It has like 8000 g of fiber...


ikilledmyplant

Fiber one original bran cereal might be similar enough. It's sticks instead of little round things, but maybe you could lightly crush it if needed?


AutumnalSunshine

OP, if you try Fiber One, shop around. It's over $8 a box at my nearest supermarket but $5 at Target.


False_Reindeer2437

Fiber One tastes like dry cat food though!


SilentArchon

Seconded Fiber One. Much more fiber than any leading cereal, including Grape Nuts.

[I open the box, I put it in the bowl, no grapes, no nuts.](https://youtu.be/EIfDe02WDV0?si=ww8LiS3K1mqJ33tr)

Years ago, I changed from Grape Nuts to unsweetened mini shredded wheat. Half the price. I don't miss Grape Nuts.


baajo

Get rolled oats, add chopped fresh fruit. Poor milk on it and eat like cold cereal. Welcome to muesli.


Salty-Jaguar-2346

Google “Bircher muesli;” a make ahead cold dish that’s delicious. Delicious is an understatement.


mama146

Pour


baajo

Yes, lol.


_SleekyDeeky_

If you can find them, I like weetabix quite a bit. It’s definitely softer than grape nuts, but has a similar vibe. I’m a grape nuts lover too.


Equivalent-Page-8591

Try to consider trying bran flakes or oat bran cereal, which are high in fiber and similar in texture to GrapeNuts


patersondave

i like oatmeal with a little granola added and some fresh fruit. i generally put blueberries in the freezer, pop a few dozen out, rinse them and put them in when i start the oatmeal. .


Silly_Strike_706

Raisin Bran


septemberstripes

I like Trader Joe's hi fiber cereal for similar reasons.


IndigoScotsman

Maybe cracklin oat bran cereal? Tastes like cookies to me.
