A healthy, complete breakfast

What if you were walking down the street in New York City one day, and saw a pop-up shop offering a free, nutritious breakfast? Well, if you were anywhere near Broadway and 54th last week, you could have!

Kellogg’s set up their own breakfast bar, complete with cereal and toppings of fruit, nuts, milk, and more wholesome goodness and things to add to cereal to get your morning started off right!

Create your own cereal bar at home

I was in New York with the K Champs team and we got the chance to stop by the Kellogg’s Recharge Bar. I feel like so many people think of cereal as a quick, cheap option for breakfast, but don’t realize that it can be a complete, balanced meal when it’s done right.

Breakfast is so important, it really starts off your day right with the fuel your body needs to get through, no matter what the day holds.

Whether you want to make your cereal more filling or you just want to try some new fun flavors, you will love these ideas for cereal toppings. Either myself or someone on the K Champs team tried these, there wasn’t one that we wouldn’t recommend. Here are some ideas on how to make cereal fancy.

Cereal varieties at the Kellogg's Recharge Bar, New York

1.  Banana Nut cereal

This one uses Kellogg’s Special K cereal, slim milk, almond butter, and fresh banana slices. I didn’t have this one personally, but someone said it was delicious and one of the more mild choices.

2.  Pistachio Lemon flavor

Special K® and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes® give this a sweet flavor base. Add pistachios, thyme, and lemon zest for a twist on your regular morning cereal! I meant to try this one, but I ran out of room in my stomach. Danielle at Extraordinary Mommy says it tasted like Fruit Loops®.

3.  Cinnamon Apple cereal toppings

Colby at Days of A Domestic Dad, our newest K Champ team member, tried the Cinnamon Apple first.  It has Special K® protein cereal, plain yogurt, ground cinnamon and fresh apple slices.

Kellogg's Berry Au Lait Gourmet Cereal

4.  Berry Au Lait cereal

THIS WAS THE BEST ONE. Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats®, Milk Bar cereal milk, ground coffee, and fresh raspberries together taste unlike anything I have ever had!

I added blueberries and substituted almond milk, the other milk is a sweet milk that was probably good, too. Some people think that berries are the best fruit for cereal. I personally had 3 bowls, no shame here.

5.  Tropical Mermaid pineapple and coconut cereal

Combine Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats and Rice Krispies®, then add milk, coconut, sesame seeds, and pineapple slices for a delightful getaway in a bowl. This is such a great gourmet cereal idea!

Enjoy these fun toppings for cereal!

Please, give these creations a try. The Berry Au Lait was my favorite, the ground coffee really set it off! A serving of cereal, milk, and fruit for cereal additions like raspberries, nuts, peaches, coconut, blueberries, and even coffee grounds can be a delicious way to make sure you are getting the protein and grains to recharge your body.

Whether it’s Kellogg’s Raisin Bran or Frosted Mini-Wheats, with whole, 2%, or almond milk, your favorite cereal creation is simple to make!
