Hence the dark brown sugar or honey, rains, bananas or berries. I have to admit
that it seems ironic to me that you object to it being bland and then use fat free
half and half and skim milk. That is a bland additive to accent a blandness of the
Shredded Wheat. AFAIAC most cereals are bland. That's why so many of them are
sugar coated or artificially flavoured. The only cereals that have strong natural
flavours are those with a lot of bran.
