Questions about Frosted Flakes cereal
How much Frosted Flakes should you have for breakfast?
A typical portion is about 31 g, weighed before adding milk. Pour the milk over just before eating if you want the flakes to stay crunchy.
How do you stop Frosted Flakes going soggy?
Add cold milk immediately before eating, rather than letting the cereal sit in it. For a packed snack, keep the flakes dry and take milk separately.
How should you store Frosted Flakes after opening?
Fold the inner bag closed or transfer the cereal to an airtight container, then keep it somewhere cool and dry. Avoid leaving the opened bag exposed to damp air, which quickly softens the flakes.
What goes well with Frosted Flakes?
Try them with cold milk and sliced banana or berries; plain yoghurt also makes a thicker, tangier bowl. A spoonful of chopped nuts adds crunch against the crisp, sweet flakes.
Can you use Frosted Flakes to make cereal bars?
Yes. Stir the flakes into melted marshmallows with a little butter, press the mixture firmly into a lined tin and leave it to set before cutting into bars. Fold gently so the flakes do not break down too much.
Are Frosted Flakes the same as Frosted Corn Flakes?
They are very similar sweetened cornflake-style cereals, but the names can refer to different products and recipes. Frosted Corn Flakes have 387 kcal per 100 g, compared with 389 kcal in Frosted Flakes.
Are Frosted Flakes high in iron?
Yes. They are high in iron, with 11.6 mg per 100 g; the amount in your bowl depends on how much cereal you pour.
Do Frosted Flakes contain much fibre?
They contain 1.2 g of fibre per 100 g, so they are not a high-fibre cereal. Pair them with fruit or nuts if you want more fibre in the bowl.
