Shake Up your Wake Up with Nestle Cereals #BreakfastWeek

Nestle are celebrating #BreakfastWeek by inviting us all to shake up our wake up and make breakfast times more fun.  They want us to get creative with the kids and mix and match our cereals to make a yummy concoction to start the day.  Not only will this encourage kids to get involved with preparing their breakfast, it will ensure they enjoy a nutritious start to their morning.

Funnily enough, breakfast cereal concoctions have been a 'thing' here Inside the Wendy House for as long as I can remember.  Why have one type of cereal when you can have two or even three?  There is so much choice and with every green bannered box of Nestle breakfast cereals, you know you are getting wholegrain goodness and at least five vitamins and minerals.  You really can't go wrong.

Freddy's favourite, which he has every morning is a Cheerio and Shreddies combo with cold, almond milk.

So, here I give to you Freddy's Nestle Cheerio and Shreddies combo:

Freddio's Shreddio's!

Kezia went for a mix of Curiously Cinnamon and Cookie Crisp, served with a splash of cold almond milk (or eaten dry from a bowl as a tasty brekkie on her way to school along with a drinkable yogurt for a hearty breakfast on the go!)

Kezia called her combo:  Sugar and Spice.

Jordan's Super Berry Country Crisp

Baked with British wholegrain conservation grade oats and mixed with freeze dried blackcurrants, cranberries and blueberries, Country Crisp clusters are a delicious, crunchy cereal from Jordans.  The tartness of the berries and the sweet, oaty clusters compliment each other very well.  The clusters don't go soggy in milk.  Personally I like eating them straight from the box!

They contain nothing artificial and are suitable for vegetarians.

Jordans don't only make yummy cereals bursting with goodness, they are also passionate about preserving the British countryside. They are committed to keeping the countryside flourishing.

The Super Berry Country Crisp is available in Tesco and Waitrose with an RRP of £2.69.

New Chocolatey Cheerios!

There is a new flavour of Cheerios hitting the supermarket shelves and we've had a try of them!  New Chocolatey Cheerios are four grain cereal loops flavoured with chocolate in every bite.

They are wholegrain, low in fat and contain added vitamins and minerals.

My children are not big fans of chocolate flavoured cereals served with milk for breakfast.  However, they did enjoy grabbing handfuls of the cereal as a snack and thoroughly enjoyed them that way.  This is definitely a healthier snacking option than a bar of chocolate or a biscuit so I'm happy for them to eat them in this way.  They will be getting Calcium, Iron and wholegrain goodness which is a definite bonus while enjoying a sweet treat.

As with all chocolate flavoured cereals, I think that if they can encourage reluctant eaters to enjoy breakfast in the morning, then they are serving a purpose.  However, neither myself or my kids like the idea of having a sweet, chocolatey breakfast and will stick to original Cheerios.
