vegan breakfast cereals

I'm a relatively new vegan - love it so far, I can't believe it took me so long to realize that dairy really isn't all that great. I've been lurking here for a little while. I'm currently in the process of finding vegan alternatives to foods that used to eat. So..

I love Kashi Breakfast Cereal (especially Go Lean Crunch). However, I noted that it has honey in it. :(
So I'm going to switch to something else. What do you guys like for breakfast cereals - something that is healthy but has some taste to it (somewhat sweet), no HFCS, and has some fiber in it? I really like my Kashi and I want something that it's kind of like that, just no honey.

Thanks :)

the b12 and vitamin d are derived from animal products. (though let us not forget that we need to find sources for these vitamins because they are incredibly important)

Have you tried making your own cereal? It's so much cheaper and healthier! I saved so much money by making my own muesli.

^what recipe did you use to make your own muesli? Ive been wanting to try making my own for a while now...

I have all bran every morning - well, most mornings... keeps things regular.

I love envirokids peanut butter panda puffs... I should have brought some along to work with me - I'm craving them as I type...

I just get Weetabix and put anything and everything on top of it. Brown sugar, banana, strawberries, yoghurt, cinnamon, raisins... could eat it twice a day :)

I don't eat cereal very often but I like Nature's Path Optimum Power. It has Vitamin B12, which is good. The website said all of their cereals are vegan except the following:
Heritage® Raspberry Granola (honey)
Spelt Flakes (honey)
Heritage® O's (honey)
Honey'd® Corn Flakes (honey)
Honey'd® Raisin Bran (honey)
SoyPlus™ Low Fat Granola (honey)

I tried Wild Oats' Flax 500 for the first time recently and loved it. Most cereals I've tasted are too sweet, or too bland. This one is just right.

"Product Description
Crunchy, naturally sweetened combination of wheat and oat flakes sprinkled with flaxseeds. 6 g Fiber preserving. 4 g Protein per serving. Low fat. Excellent source of fiber. 500 mg of Omega-3 Fatty Acids per serving. Natural ingredients."
