Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (45g) crunchy cereal (oat clusters or granola recommended)
- 1 cup (150g) mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup (240ml) cold milk or milk alternative (almond milk or oat milk suggested)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and prep the berries: rinse under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries; leave smaller berries whole.
- In a mixing bowl, toss berries with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using to infuse flavor.
- Add the crunchy cereal over the berry mixture. Sprinkle chia seeds if using. Stir gently to combine without breaking berries.
- Pour cold milk or milk alternative over the mixture. Adjust amount based on preference for milkiness.
- Serve immediately for maximum crunch or let sit 1-2 minutes if you prefer softer cereal.
Notes
Use fresh berries for best texture; frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained. Pour milk slowly to avoid sogginess. Stir gently to preserve berry and cereal texture. Store cereal and berries separately from milk if prepping ahead.
