Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Health professionals will tell you that if you there is any meal not to skip, it’s breakfast, yet with our busy lives, sitting down for a hearty meal in the morning is often next to impossible.
The problem is, after a whole night of fasting while you slept, your body has already used up all the fuel that last night’s dinner provided you, and if you don’t refuel it, you’re bound to get off to a slow, groggy start the next day. So, whether you’re trying to rush out the door to get yourself to a work meeting or hurrying to pack your kids into the van to drop them off at school before the first late-bell rings, finding easy to-go breakfast options is a necessity.
In her food blog, Public Lives, Secret Recipes, inventive home chef, Caitlin, came up with a great new breakfast option that will solve all your problems. She calls them Milk and Cereal Popsicles and they are as easy to make as they are to grab as you’re running out the door.

To throw together these tasty breakfast treats, buy some popsicle sticks, ice-pop molds, vanilla greek yogurt, milk and cereal of your choice. Chef Caitlin likes sweets in the morning, so she makes hers with Fruity Pebbles, but if you want yours to be a little less sugar-packed, you can switch out those colorful flakes for any nutritious cereal of your choice.

Throw the yogurt, cereal and milk together in a large bowl and mix together evenly. Then pour into the ice-pop molds and prop them up in the freezer to slowly freeze over the course of 24 – 48 hours, depending on how high your freezer temperature setting is set.
In the morning, as you’re rushing out the door, just grab enough cereal pops for your family and you to consume on your morning drive and you’ll have those brains of yours working quickly in no time!
SHARE the love and pass it on!
