Heavy cream or butter work better in hot cereal than variations on milk.
Or if you can find Hood low carb milk near you that works. I see it in
stores every so often but it is not carried consistantly in my area. I
don't understand as it flies off the shelves when it is present. I see
an empty slot and a Hood sticker twice as often as I see the Hood low
carb milk itself.

Try Silk or other brand almond milk. I think you'll be hooked when you
try it.

Hot cereal works for specific carb quotas. Let's say your carb quote du
jour is 50. Hot cereal at breakfast gets you to 20. It's see it do 30
in the rest of the day on low carb items. As Bill points out higher
carb than most begining low carbers will want but later on can be a
different story.

I'm not a fan of aspartame either.

It has no effect on me but I do know two people who get effects from it.
My wife gets headaches when she switches to splenda based sodas so some
sort of withdrawal effect. An old friend gets brain fog when he gets
dosed with Diet Dr Pepper. Many can't tell diet from regular for that
brand.

... Fiber One is
the best kept secret as far as low-carb, mass-produced cereals are
concerned.

Does anyone make this as a hot cereal? I've seen it or other fiber
mixed into hot cereal but so far I haven't seen this use as the hot
cereal itself.

I tried almond but I like just plain soy. I can't tolorate regular milk
now.
