How to make your breakfast cereal more satisfying

Breakfast cereals have a bad rep. You get told everywhere they’re too high in sugar & spike your energy levels etc, BUT, I’m an advocate for making things you enjoy a MEAL, which will fuel you afterwards. Add things to the cereal, don’t take them away.
Me and my sister used to make bowls like this EVERY morning for breakfast - she wasn’t always in on the idea, but then tried it and was hooked.
And, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have the coco pops and satisfy the craving, than pretend I fancy a big bowl of oats.

Ps. theres nothing wrong with eating them alone - I just prefer how they taste like this.

Now, go and eat your honey cheerios in peace. Please.

THINGS I ADD TO MAKE THEM MORE SATISFYING

Nuts
My favourites at the moment are Manilife cocoa peanuts, but I also use roasted pistachios, cashews, pecans etc.

Nut butters
Almond butter is my favourite for this, but Whole Earth have a drizzly peanut butter that would do the job.

Seeds
I always have a jar full of mixed roasted seeds - you can get these at supermarkets, then roast them yourself.

High protein milks
Cows/ soya etc
Protein is difficult for your body to break down, as they’re made up of amino acids, which slow down the release of foods into your bloodstream. It also feeds your muscles, which is never a bad thing.

Plenty of fresh berries/ banana/ apple
Yogurt
Cacao nibs
