Do you sing in the shower? Come on….admit it, you know you like to. 😉 Music is the ultimate mood booster and combined with Honey Bunches of Oats all-new Morning Energy cereal it’s certain to start your morning off right.

start your morning off right

Whether you eat on-the-go or at home, Honey Bunches of Oats #MorningEnergy cereal can satisfy your needs. Available in two varieties: Chocolatey Almond Crunch, which includes delicious chocolate morsels and almond slivers and Cinnamon Crunch, which is packed with sweet, crunchy cinnamon clusters.

Honey Bunches of Oats

Both are packed with 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber,  and provide over 2/3 of your day’s whole grain! I’ve had the opportunity to try both flavors and love them. What’s even more impressive is how it fights off hunger cravings for hours. Plus I love any breakfast that includes some sweetness, like chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Energy Cinnamon Crunch cereal
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
