Classic Cereal with Milk

Ingredients

• 50g (1 3/4 cups) breakfast cereal of choice (e.g., whole grain, cornflakes, or granola)
• 250ml (1 cup) milk or milk alternative (e.g., almond milk, oat milk)
• 15g (1 tbsp) honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
• Fresh fruits like bananas or berries, for topping (optional)
• 20g (1 oz) nuts or seeds, for added crunch (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Selecting Your Cereal

Begin by choosing a cereal that suits your taste and dietary preferences. For a high-fiber option, whole grain cereals are ideal, while granola offers a heartier bite.

Step 2: Measuring the Cereal

Using a kitchen scale or measuring cups, measure out 50g (1 3/4 cups) of your selected cereal. Pour it into your bowl, creating a base layer ready for milk.

Step 3: Choosing Your Milk

Choose a milk that fits your taste and nutritional needs. Cow’s milk offers protein and calcium, while almond or oat milk provides dairy-free alternatives.

Step 4: Pouring the Milk

Pour 250ml (1 cup) of your chosen milk over the cereal, ensuring it covers the surface but doesn’t overflow the bowl. For a warm variation, heat the milk in a microwave for 30-45 seconds before pouring.

Step 5: Customizing with Sweeteners

If desired, drizzle 15g (1 tbsp) of honey or maple syrup over your cereal for extra sweetness. Stir to combine and ensure even distribution.

Step 6: Adding Toppings

Enhance your cereal bowl with fresh fruits like sliced bananas or berries for a refreshing touch. Consider adding 20g (1 oz) of nuts or seeds for a satisfying crunch and additional nutrition.

Step 7: Final Stir and Enjoy

Give everything a gentle stir with your spoon, taking a moment to appreciate the mix of textures and flavors. Enjoy your classic cereal with milk at breakfast or as a comforting snack.
