Sweet and Dry Cereal Blend for a Balanced Breakfast
Making breakfast sucks. Are you tired and now you need to cook? To cook? In the morning?
This is why no-cook breakfasts are best. The simplest and most affordable is, of course, breakfast cereals in boxes. The problem is that there are two types of cereal: too sweet and too soft.
To solve this problem, I found the perfect solution. In the past, when we had an office serving snacks, I would make an afternoon snack combining cereal that was too sweet with cereal that was too soft. These two ingredients naturally balance each other to create a well-balanced treat to enjoy in the morning, afternoon or evening! Why not!
The cereal combinations are endless, and here are some of my favorites:
- Crispy toast with cinnamon and cornflakes
- Double Chocolate Krave and Chirios
- Frozen Wheat and Rice Crispies with Minnie
One versatile option, Honey Nut Cheerios, can act as either a sweet or mild ingredient, depending on what you’re pairing it with.
If you think these tastes will contradict each other, just remember that Cheerios or Rice Krispies taste almost nothing in common , so they cannot contradict or overwhelm one another! They are the culinary equivalent of peanut packaging (new cereal idea: peanut packaging), just to saturate and reduce the sweetness of Fruity Pebbles.
I’m not a doctor, but a bowl of combo cereal probably doesn’t have enough nutrients to get you ready for a productive day, so consider eating some fruit, protein, whole grains, and caffeine. But as a mixed snack, it really can’t be beat.
