Ways we use It
It goes without saying that cereal and milk go together like PB&J. But, if you know anything about inflammation, you know dairy produces a lot of it. Inflammation leads to all kinds of metabolic disorders (think cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases). We recommend sticking to nondairy milk products (and cheese too!). So blend up, or buy, some delicious coconut, almond or Tiger Nut Milk for this recipe. Combine your cereal with a little milk, and voila! Just like when you were a kid!
Alternatively, toss some in a reusable container by portioning out your servings and use for emergency snacks in the car or at your work or school desk. Lastly, crush the cereal to use as a topping for baked apples or low carb blueberry crumbles.
