Superfood Breakfast Cereal – Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, Vegan

You will not regret giving this Superfood Breakfast Cereal recipe a try. It has been my go-to breakfast for a few years now and I never tire of it. You can switch up the fresh fruit depending on what’s in season. Use peaches and walnuts in the summer or apples and pecans in the fall. 

This recipe is vegan and paleo-friendly, gluten and dairy-free. We use our DIY Oat Milk recipe in the video below. Simply switch to almond milk for a paleo-friendly version. 

Why the name Superfood Breakfast Cereal?

It is a nutrition-packed way to begin your day! It is full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, healthy fats and protein. Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that positively contribute to one’s health. And honestly, I started calling it superfood cereal the first time I made and it stuck and has been that way ever since.

Superfood Cereal Tips

• Best when made with a ripe banana.
• Use raw nuts when available. We recommend walnuts or pecans.
• Delicious with many types of nut butters. Our favorites are almond butter and peanut butter.
• If using frozen berries, warm them up on the stove just until they start to thaw or in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It is best if you do not overheat them as it will make your cereal warm. 
• Optional toppings: dried mulberries, goji berries, cacao nibs and/or coconut flakes.

Notes

Superfood Breakfast Cereal Flavor Options

Summer Peach: Use fresh ripe peaches with walnuts. Such a great way to change it up during the summer season.

Fall Apple: Use chopped apples and pecans. This reminds me of apple pie, especially with the cinnamon spice mixed in.

Year-Round Mixed Berry: Use fresh or frozen berries with pecans or walnuts. This is my favorite combination and I make it year-round. I can use fresh berries during berry season and frozen when they aren’t in season.
