Cereal is a breakfast staple in every household, but this delicious food can be enjoyed at any time of the day, as a snack, or even as a late-night supper. But a simple bowl of cereal with plain milk can get boring really quickly.
Sure, there are so many incredible cereals in the market, and new flavors come out every other day but there are plenty of ways to make the same box of cereal taste different — and even better — every day.
Here are some fun hacks that will put cereal back on the map!
Add Some Flavor to Your Milk
Plain milk is great, but nothing compliments your bowl of coco crunch like a splash of chocolate milk. There are plenty of milk flavors on the market, from vanilla to strawberry and even hazelnut.
Experiment with different flavor combinations to find the one that works for the best for you.
Experiment with Different Types of Milk
There are so many different types of non-dairy milk on the market today that aren’t just for those who avoid lactose, but they also taste great in cereal — coconut, hazelnut, and almond milk are to name a few.
Even yogurt goes really well with some fruit-flavored cereals, and it is a lot more satiating than milk.
Try Different Temperatures
Instead of adding room temperature milk to your cereal, try experimenting with different temperatures to find what works best with different cereals.
For example, Weetabix tastes even better with warm milk, whereas fruit loops are best paired with cold milk. There’s even a hack of freezing your cereal before adding milk because it keeps it from getting soggy.
Two is Better Than One
If you’re sick of eating the same cereal every day, why not jazz it up by combining two (or even more) of your favorite cereals?
Leftover Cereal Milk
We all add a little too much milk to our cereal at times, and if you ever end up with any extra liquid at the bottom of your bowl, don’t waste it! Cereal milk is packed with flavor and can be used to make milkshake or even saved for the next time you crave cereal!
Dress It
Plain cereal can be boring at times and lacks key micronutrients that you need from a breakfast. But there ways to dress up your cereal with healthy toppings to make it more nutritious. Fruits, nuts, cacao nibs, seeds are some options to make your breakfast more wholesome.
