Cereal has been a staple of the American diet for decades. I remember waking up on a Saturday morning as a kid, climbing up on the kitchen counter to get a box of Cheerios or Trix. Pour it in a bowl, and some milk and try to walk to the living room without spilling so we could watch some Saturday morning cartoons. Now in days however, we are much more health conscious and not only is it easier to find healthier foods, but they often taste better than their processed counterpart.
One of my favorite things to do before work was to bike ride down to Honolulu Coffee Company for breakfast I would get an Açaí bowl and a black coffee. This nutrient rich breakfast with healthy carbs would get me energized for my day of teaching. Açaís is not a super common thing to find so a yogurt bowl with fruit and granola is a great option as well.
If you want something healthier and tastier than cereal but with the same vibe. Just swap out the sugary cereal for some granola. Now you’ve got some whole grain oats for breakfast. Don’t stop here though. Add some blueberries and diced up strawberries for an amazing combination. The final step is to add a spoonful of peanut butter. This is a key ingredient to get your healthy fats and protein. Once you pour the milk in you can cut up the peanut butter into bite size pieces and they will stay separated.
There you have it! Take your cereal to the next level and enjoy for breakfast or a late night snack.
