If you ate cereal with water as opposed to milk, the cereal would still be edible, but it may not have as much flavor and the texture may be different. Milk is typically used as a liquid to soften cereal and add a creamy taste, while water does not add any flavor and may make the cereal more crunchy.
Yes, it's safe! Dry cereal is shelf-stable, and requires no refrigeration. It doesn't matter if it's in the box on the table, or in a bowl on the table. As long as you don't add any moisture, it will be perfectly safe the next morning.
Even as cereal became more processed and softer, the tendency to soak it in milk never left the public consciousness. Milk was the perfect way to add moisture to the dry food without turning it into a completely soggy mess. Like cereal, milk was also synonymous with health, full of vitamins and calcium.
Kellogg's state that the water will turn the instant milk into real milk after a quick stir. The “Instabowls” come in four flavors: Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Apple Jacks and Raisin Bran Crunch.

After you've cooked your hot cereal, you can add some fun flavorings and toppings to it. For oatmeal, you can add things like brown sugar, nuts, fruit, or even chocolate chips. Add butter to the cream of wheat or grits for a savory breakfast, or even pop an entire egg into it.
In 1863, James Caleb Jackson, a religiously conservative vegetarian who ran a medical sanitarium in western New York, created a breakfast cereal from graham flour dough that was dried and broken into shapes so hard they needed to be soaked in milk overnight.
People who consider Merriam-Webster the authority on defining things point out that cereal doesn't meet the dictionary's definition of soup. While it qualifies as a liquid food when eaten with milk, and it does contain pieces of solid food, it doesn't contain meat, fish, or vegetable stock.
Millet had the highest rate of water absorption as well as the total water absorbed. The rate of water absorption in sorghum was higher than in maize but maize grains imbibed more water than sorghum.
Cutting dairy out of the loop means less digestive stress on your body, i.e., less bloating. But take note that as your body adjust to less dairy (then no dairy!) and more plants, you might feel some digestive discomfort. Here are some tips to handle the transition to a plant-based diet.

Making the decision to go dairy-free can feel somewhat daunting and you may be concerned that you (or your child) are missing out on key nutrients. Dairy products provide protein, vitamin B12, B2 and minerals such as potassium, calcium and phosphorous.
Stick with whole grain varieties
To get the healthiest and most filling cereal, choose one that's predominantly (or ideally, fully) whole grain. On the label, you're looking for the first ingredient to say whole wheat, brown rice, oats, whole grain corn, or another whole grain (such as quinoa, amaranth, or sorghum).
Given the fact that cereal lacks many of the important nutrients responsible for keeping you full, like protein and fiber, you'll be looking for your next meal or snack in no time. This can often lead to overeating and constant snacking, two incredibly unhealthy eating habits.
