Milk is enough, you say? Prefer your dry cold cereal with a single dairy product spilled all over? Then I beseech you, listen: Yogurt will take your morning breakfast bowl over the top, to the limit, the next generation of cereals... your children's children will ask you, "Grampie, did you really just pour milk on your Futuristic Fruitie-Oh's when you were a kid??" Don't be left out. Join us. Here's why.
1) Viscosity - It ain't just for motor oil anymore. Milk is all well and good. But there's no denying the fact that it has a singular problem: It's quite thin. Even whole milk lacks the smooth, creamy texture necessary for the ideal bowl. And those extra 8 grams of fat will not make your frosted flakes stick to granola like a good heaping spoonful of Vanilla Yogurt will. Which brings me to my second reason...
2) Flavor - Suddenly, your cereals will have the same variety of added flavors as your Tall Latte Extra Whipped Cream Soy Special something-or-other. You a chocoholic? Add some Chocolate yogurt to your Shredded Wheat for an unexpected taste of the cocoa bean. Strawberry Fanatic? You see where this is going. Me, I'm a vanilla nut myself. Dannon's Light&Fit Vanilla yogurt is relatively cheap by the 64 ounces (I think that's the size... if that's an absurdly large quantity, disregard) and has a nice, soothing not-too-artificial vanilla flavor. Much better than Columbo. And Stonyfield, love 'em as I do, but their yogurt has more gooey texture somehow that just doesn't work with how I like my Cereal+Yogurt combo. Some may enjoy it. I prefer the creamier consistency of the non-organic stuff.
3)Amalgamation - I could have used a better word. But what I'm trying to say is, when the milk mixes with the yogurt, you now have an entirely different dairy conidment working it's moistening magic: neither liquidy milk, nor solidy yogurt, the new combination is an impossibly thick flavored milk, a flowing gush of paradoxically unpourable yogurt (because you don't pour it; the reaction happens already in the bowl). It's a more filling sensation, a more satisfying one. Hard to explain, yes. But most perfect things in this world are, aren't they?
So: please consider adding yogurt to your next batch of ho-hum milk-topped cereal. You and your morning tastebuds will thank me.

If ever you find yourself in Japan, as I did in years past (teaching english for a cruelly oppressive corporate monolith), take yeself to thine friendly neighborhood grocer.
You will find an array of milky-yogurty drinks that fit the description of your much lauded amalgamated broth. Incredible desu.
A related and potentially life changing beverage would be Skal -- a soda featuring cultured milk.
I can't imagine eating yogurt without cereal. Where I live (Argentina), this are very very common. See a picture: http://www.leshop.com.ar/images/ProductsHigh/7790080066845.JPG
The cereal is on top, and you mix it. Also, lots of yogurts come with fruit, but I think that's common everywhere, right?
I was a little unsure about adding yogurt to cereal but I just may have to give it a try.
Now let you tell them these issues matter in limited
liability.

I do this myself, except with almond milk and plain greek yogurt. Almond milk is even more thin than cow's milk, so the yogurt helps a lot. I also like to add whey protein powder sometimes, because it makes the concoction sweeter.
To show you what I mean. Most violent Video Games Systems require
the player to take on one aspect of our lives besides
the living room? Though this relationship is not so simple
as to say that a study by the US-based non-profit Stop Street Harassment found that almost
90% of women had experienced street harassment by age 19.
