    Pour cereal. Pour milk. As soon as boyancy causes the cereal to rise, stop pouring the milk.

    Perfect every time. 👌

        Just drink the milk. It takes on a lot of the cereal flavor especially if it’s a sweeter cereal and it’s good.

    As soon as the cereal starts to float, I stop pouring milk.

    Just enough so that, by the time I finish the cereal, there’s only a little milk left.

    Edit: The way I do it is to have a layer of granola on the bottom, then a layer of whatever floaty cereal on top. When I fill it with milk, it’s a little bit below the top layer so that it’s just a little less than what would make it float. That usually gives me the perfect ratio.

    Put cereal in bowl, add milk until cereal is almost completely covered. Let sit for a minute to let cereal soak up some milk. This is for mini wheats mixed with another cereal. Mini wheats need a little soaking.

    Just add milk until the entire pile of cereal starts to lift. Usually when the milk reaches the base level of the cereal itself.

    By volume, usually I stop pouring milk when it covers approximately 4/5 of the cereal. That makes it so when I put my spoon in it, the cereal at the very top will also absorb some milk.

    Add milk until it becomes visible.

    I think a good 80:20 to 90:10 cereal to milk. Just eyeballing it though.

      You’re eating too much cereal my friend. Try using an 8:2 ratio for a few days and see if you feel better.

        This guy coming over here not knowing what a zero is and trying to dunk on me. What a sad little guy.

        You might want to eat some more cereal and get that brain working, friend.

    No milk in anything for 4+ years now.

    Half a handful of:

    • fortified whatever-brand O’s
    • peanuts
    • fruit and nut trail mix
    • top off with granola
    • prefect amount of water to end with a dry bowl but only barely

    I thought my stomach issues were just a human thing. I always drank a bunch of milk. My chronic back issues from disability make me very sensitive to additional inflammation. So I tried eliminating milk one time for a few weeks to see how it affected me. It was night and day. I felt so much better that I never went back.

    Fill the bowl with cereal nearly to the brim, then add milk until the cereal is at risk of spilling out.

    I don’t know but for me having the ratio hit at the end of my meal could take just a bowl or a whole box. But I ain’t stoppin’ until the cereal and the milk are gone at the same time.
