I’m a recovering CEREAL ADDICT.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n

There have been more days than I care to admit where I’ve eaten a bowl of cereal for more than one meal. Then, one day, I realized I hadn’t had a giant bowl of gloriousness in over a week! What in the world?<\/p>\n

I do not discriminate when it comes to cereal, from sugary frosted flakes, to unsweetened bran, to Kashi of all flavors, to anything with cinnamon. But look what I found in the store the other day!\u00a0 (Rice Krispies Treats cereal!)<\/p>\n

<\/a>With all of my weird stomachaches, I’ve made the switch to non-dairy milk, and it makes cereal all that much better. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk pairs quite amazingly with Rice Krispies Treats cereal. I mean, really, the heavens have opened and a cereal made out of a DESSERT was created! I love it! It had been a while, and this crispy sweet treat was gone in about 3 days. (Yes, I know.)<\/p>\n

What is your favorite cereal? Do you make your own? Here are some of ours:<\/p>\n

Ginger granola (Whole Foods)
Cinnamon granola with raspberries and blueberries
Kashi Strawberry Fields
Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheats
Golden Grahams
Cascadian Farm Organic anything (which have been $1\/box at Wal-Mart lately)<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun cereal to add to your breakfast routine.<\/p>\n
