I grew up eating cereal! Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Grape-nuts, Cocoa Puffs, Sugar Smacks...the list goes on. Sometimes I'd even eat cereal for dinner. All of those processed carbs that turn to sugar along with all of the added sugar ...trouble!
But it was kind of a ritual and it tasted so good! Well, one of my passions is to find healthy substitutes for all of those tempting (and not so healthy) foods I use to love. I haven't eaten cereal forever but recently came across this recipe for Cinnamon Toasted Coconut Cereal when I was looking for recipes for one of my clients.
I've already made it twice (okay three times if you count the time I used slivered almonds in place of some of the coconut). It's yummy as a snack by itself or in a bowl with unsweetened almond or coconut milk. It's just like the old days (almost)! The difference is that this crunchy, cinnamony, cereal is made with coconut so it's full of good fat and fiber and it has plenty of cinnamon that actually helps to lower blood sugar levels. It only has four ingredients and is simple and quick to make. It's cereal that's actually good for you!
