This healthy cinnamon crunch cereal is made with nuts and seeds for a high protein, full of good fats breakfast in a bowl.

For as much as I love to sleep in, my absolute favorite part of the day is the morning. Breakfast is my favorite meal and my kitchen is my favorite place in the house. It’s a win win.

Like I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we just bought a new refrigerator after 6 years of misery with our old side by side.

I’ve seriously never been so pumped about an appliance delivery before in my life. From it’s amazing water spout (that fills my cup about 3 times fast than my old one, making my ridiculous 100 ounce daily water consumption much easier) to all the horizontal space in the fridge section you don’t get with a side by side to it’s somewhat annoying (but very useful) door alarm that tells me I left the thing wide open (usually while running between kitchen and dining room to take pictures of food (see that tripod leg on the right?…)

I was even excited to re-organize (and throw away some funky looking food items hiding in the back for a few weeks months too long) the shelves as I put everything back in, it was kind of like a real life game of tetris.

For now, I’m riding it’s brand new high. That might change when the credit card bill comes in though.

Kidding…

So when I was just recently approached by LG to talk about how life’s good in the kitchen, I literally almost laughed out loud while reading the email because seriously, could the timing BE more perfect having just bought my brand new LG fridge?

With a new fridge waiting for me downstairs, I woke up early the other morning and decided to make my own cereal. I get really giddy about homemade cereal because honestly, who would’ve thought it was so damn easy to make?!

All these years of expensive boxed stuff (usually filled with crap nonetheless) and I could’ve made it on my own.

These vanilla almond cereal puffs are one of my all-time favorite recipes on the blog but this time I went in a different direction. Think cinnamon toast crunch meets shredded wheat except there is no wheat.

This cereal is full of seeds and nuts and packs a good-for-you fat and protein punch. It’s perfectly cinnamon-y and crispy enough so that it stands its own with some milk in the bowl.

If there’s anything better than a morning in the kitchen with a brand new appliance making your own cereal as you sip coffee, I’m not sure I know what it is.
