A spoonful of high-fiber cereal and a pitchfork of hay are not synonymous anymore. That's good -- Americans don't get nearly enough of the recommended 28 grams of fiber for a 2,500-calorie diet. If you pour the right bowl of cereal, you can score double-digit grams of fiber as the sun rises. Or at least by the time the gals start slinging mud on "The View."

Consumer Reports just crunched their way through an analysis of 18 high-fiber cereals to reveal the Top 7 flavorful winners. Meaning, high-fiber cereals that actually taste good. Here goes:

• Kirkland Signature Spiced Pecan. Yum-yum. Available at Costco, it's 33 cents a serving, with 7 grams of fiber per three-quarter cup. Sugar is a tad high at 11 grams.
  
• Kashi GoLean. Loyal Kashi lovers are probably wondering, "Who's this Kirkland character, and why isn't Kashi number one?" Kashi GoLean Original has 10 grams of fiber and only 6 grams of sugar. Costs more per serving than Kirkland, but serving size is a cup.
• Archer Farms. With 14 grams of sugar, no wonder it tastes good. But this sweet, cinnamon toasted grain has 10 grams of fiber. Available at Target.
  

Kellogg's Raisin Bran Extra!, Post Shredded Wheat Spoon Size Wheat 'n Bran, Great Value Raisin Bran from WalMart and Barbara's Bakery Ultimate Organic rounded out the list.

Dump the frosted-whatever and place a quality high-fiber cereal front and center in your cabinet. Then sprinkle with ground flax seed for a real power breakfast.
