Cereal Milk Smoothie Recipe – Repeat and Eat

Cereal milk smoothie recipe

I’ve probably had a bowl of cereal with milk every morning before school since I was growing up. My mum is a teacher and our school started 15 minutes before her work – so mornings were often brisk while my mum, brother and I were getting ready to eat and we walked out the door with seconds to spare.

Fortunately, a bowl of cereal is an easy breakfast treat and I loved it (in fact, I still do!). At that time I just liked how it tasted. Now I appreciate that a serving of milk with whole grains provides a great combination of protein and carbs to keep you full until lunch.

Today, I’m sharing a fun twist on this breakfast classic with a cereal milk smoothie. I use Real California Milk because it is sustainably sourced and comes from California dairy farming families.

The first step is to make cereal milk. It’s the basis for this smoothie recipe, but you can also use it in other recipes, like a latte or just drink it.

Cereal milk can be made from most corn flakes or wheat grains. The classic version is made with cornflakes, but I also made it with a random mix of leftover cereal and it works great. Basically, use whatever kind of pills you have on hand.

We often had a few cereal cans with less than a serving left or a lot of crumbs…so we’d shove them to the back of the cupboard (sorry mom!). These abandoned pills will end up getting old and discarded.

Now you can use it in this recipe. I love finding delicious ways to avoid food waste.

Well…let’s make cereal milk!

ingredients:

  • 3 cups of real California milk
  • 2 cups cornflakes (or of your choice)
  • 1 TB sugar
  • Half a teaspoon of salt

directione:

  1. Grain toast: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread the cereal on a baking sheet. Toast on the middle rack for 10 minutes. Leave it to cool completely.
  2. Milk mixture: Mix the milk, sugar and salt. Mix with cereal. Setting: Leave the milk and cereal in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the grains from the milk. Squeeze the cereal to get all the milk out. Refrigerate the milk until it is ready to use.
