|  Original, Apple Cinnamon, Frosted, Honey Nut, Multigrain, Oat Cluster Crunch, Yogurt Burst || Mezonot || Al Hamichya<ref>The first ingredient in cherrios is whole grain oats. Rav and Shmuel in Gemara Brachot 36b say that any food which has one fo the five grains has the bracha of Mezonot. This is codified by Rambam (Brachot 3:3) and S"A 28:2. It is generally assumed that oats is considered one of the five grains (Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 48, chapter 27), Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, chap 8, pg 23), Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 12)). Thus, [https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.star-k.com%2Fcons_appr_cereal_list.pdf Star-K] on their list of Brachot on cereal for 212 write that the Original, Apple Cinnamon, Frosted, Honey Nut, Multigrain, Oat Cluster Crunch Cherrios are all Mezonot. Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) agrees. [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/759938/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Laws_and_Customs_of_Pesach Rabbi Hershel Schachter] (min 69-82) fundamentally doesn't agree that oats are considered a grain, however, he concludes that since American oats (from which Cherrios are made) have a significant amount of gluten in them the correct bracha is mezonot.</ref>
