Fruit Cereal
Why the heck would I eat fruit cereal? Is something you might be thinking. Let me tell you why: it’s a perfect blend of crunchy, chewy, frothy and delicious. That’s why. Look, I love a smoothie bowl in the morning. But sometimes it’s just way too cold for me, and I’m freezing after. However, my body loves fruit in the morning and not a whole lot else. But just eating it on its own feels a little…boring.
I saw fruit cereal floating around, and decided to give it a go before sharing it here. And now I’m hooked, so I have to give you the deets!
Feel free to get creative with your own expression. These are just ideas, and working with what I have/what my body likes right now.
*Pro tip is to have a good blend of different TEXTURES above anything else.
Ingredients:
Base
This is recipe I use, as I prefer ALL fruit. But there are extras below if you want additives.
Fresh fruits of your choice: I’ve been using berries, but any fruit will do! Just chop it up small for that “cereal” feel. I also like berries because of their easy size, and they stay in tact instead of getting too soggy.
Cacao nibs
Goji berries (or any dried fruit)
Banana milk (or any milk you like, the banana milk just keeps it ALL fruit)
Cinnamon
Extras
For more fats, protein, and non-fruit options.
Seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, chia, hemp, etc)
Nuts or nut butter
Coconut flakes or coconut butter
Extra sliced banana
Added coconut meat
GF oats
Instructions:
If you need to make banana milk, then make that now (you’ll need a blender).
Otherwise, everything is raw, so you can add as much or as little of your own ingredients as you like.
I like heavier fresh fruits than I do the dry/crunchy bits- but you do you!
Add as much milk as you like.
Option to sprinkle extra cinnamon.
ENJOY!
