not too sure about cornflakes now as you say its high GI To lower GI, add protein, fibre and omega-3 fat. By an amazing coincidence, powdered linseeds contain all three!  Are you cutting? If not, you don't need to worry about GI.

Cornflakes have a glycaemic load of 21 and grapenuts are 15 according to my list. Can you believe I was actually reading this in bed last night. Yes folks - that's about as exciting as it gets in my bed 
Anyways! back on topic ... we've made some suggestions for alternatives to wheat and oats. Did I say Rice Crispies? ... I've started eating those occasionally now for breakfast.
As far as cereals go, I find cornflakes to be better than most to be honest. When compared to most other 'tasty' cereals their levels of sugar and fat are quite favourable. I use them if I feel like a light snack late at night and they seem to hit the spot perfectly. I am trying to drop some weight at the moment and I've found them to be a lifesaver for when I feel like a snack.
I have tried rice crispies but they're a little light for me. Are rice crispies lower on the GI scale than cornflakes?
Has anyone tried wheataflakes? I think I might try them next for something with more fibre.

Oats do cook more quickly it is true. I would recommend making the millet/quinoa porridge the night before, you can then reheat. Read the pack on how to cook! Cook in a saucpan on the hob, take about 10-12mins roughly. When quinoa is cooked, it's very soft.

Actually rolled oats are already cooked, not many people know that. Thats why you can eat them in their "raw" state
You can get Millet flakes from H&B mate if you want something quick and easy, or as the lovely Fi suggests do it the night before and nuke it the morning after and add a little more fluid if it goes a bit dry

i'll look at the easiest option of millet flakes, buy some and see if it tastes good if i nuke it in the m'wave and eat str8 away.
H&B aint cheap for these sorts of food, will be hunting around for a cheaper supplier.
