WIAW – Are You Cereal?

07/17 by Leigha 23 Comments

MIMM - Summer Livin'

Hellooo 80 degree weather! I’ve been waiting long enough! It’s time for another WIAW.Β Thank you Jenn, for hosting the par-tay!

I have no desire to make anything lately. Which is why this post is dedicated to cereal – one of my fav foods. I love it because there are just so many varieties! When Sunnie did a post on customized cereal, I knew I had to share my combos!

I always start with a layer of greek yogurt on the bottom, and top with almond milk. I take the picture, then mix it up! πŸ˜€

I like to have at least one bowl of cereal a day. I was taught well! πŸ˜‰

    Crunchy! That’s why I eat cereal that rarely, I have to devour it so quick that it doesn’t get soggy that I cannot really enjoy it… Granola is better for that purpose, it doesn’t absorb the water as fast. But just as you, I always top my cereal with fruits and mostly with bananas.

      I used to like soggy but now I’m starting to like crunchy! Fruit makes cereal much better πŸ™‚

    Crunchy for the win πŸ™‚ I sometimes have to add extra cereal so it stays crunchy.

    I LOVE cereal in the summer! Something about the cool crunch that is beyond delicious :). I also love the idea of filling your bowl with as many different things as possible ;). Variety!

    I love how everyone in the blogworld loves cereal (me included πŸ™‚ ). A lot of people I know don’t like cereal – I guess they just don’t do the right concoctions. πŸ˜‰
    Oh and definitely crunchy! I can’t eat soggy cereal…

    Haha you win the best title award! πŸ˜‰ All of your combos look amazing, and I’ve never done both yogurt and almondmilk- will have to try asap! Love the pic at the end too- my sister and I both grew up on cereal every single day too- it’s the best πŸ™‚ Hope you had a great weekend girl!

    Okay all of those bananas and fresh berries are seriously making me crave a huge bowl of cereal πŸ™‚ Although, there is no better way to have cereal in my opinion haha

    I like my cereal soggy…I know I’m weird! I usually heat up my almond milk and then add the cereal to get it mushy and top with banana! Now I’m craving cereal….
