Nothing like Coffee Crunch Cereal on a Monday Morning! It’s like healthy cereal for grown ups with a caffeine kick, and some protein. You could even have it with an iced latte instead of milk if you wanted.
Everyone’s been making different types of cereal, but I have yet to see a coffee cereal, so I decided to give it a shot. Let’s just say my life is changed. An EASY, delicious meal prep idea that’s not oats (nothing against oats though)! Not to mention adorable (thanks to @lovebykaylee for the coffee bean shape idea with her cookies)!
