Sometimes, I’m nostalgic for the convenient “pour in a bowl & top with milk” cereal. After all, it’s so easy even a child could do it, and it doesn’t wake up the whole house the way a blender does. But even if I wanted to, I can’t have commercial cereal. The sugar drives me batty, and I’m starving an hour later. The solution? This ultra easy cereal made with healthy fats, natural sugars, and seeds. Make a big batch, and keep it in the fridge so it stays fresh.
