Cereal is one of those foods that has always been recognized as a breakfast staple. It’s too bad the “cereal aisle” in the grocery store is typically filled with processed, sugary cereals that are meant to taste like dessert! I used to be a huge cereal fan in college because it was so easy to scarf down before heading out the door. And I thought I was eating the “healthy” ones because that’s what the box said! Once I learned that most are full of processed ingredients that I can hardly pronounce I stopped eating cereal and started drinking more juices and smoothies in the morning. Well sometimes I want to switch it up, and to be honest I miss the simplicity of cereal! Thank goodness for chia seeds, because now they help me get my cereal fix while loading up on this mini superfood that leaves me full all morning. When I wake up, I’ll just add the chia seeds to homemade almond milk with the other ingredients and pop it in the fridge until I’m ready to enjoy my breakfast.
