The kid and I have a new favorite breakfast shake.

The first time I made this for him, he wasn’t really sure what to think. “Cereal in a milkshake is just weird, mom“, he whimpered as he sat there with a concerned look on his face, clenching his beloved Kellogg’s smacks box.

In all honesty, he’s a great sport and always willing to try my somewhat strange dinner concoctions or soup brews, but you don’t want to be messin’ with the kid’s cereal.

But then he tasted it… and loved every single sip.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
1/2 cup Kellogg’s honey smacks
2 cups milk
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
10 ice cubes

Directions:

Pour 2 cups of milk in a blender. Feel free to use skim milk, mine was 2%.

Go for really ripe bananas. Starchy and sweet.

Pour in the vanilla extract.

Sprinkle in 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp sugar. This gives just enough sweetness for us.

I tried several kinds of cereal, but this one just works best.

Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup.

Add the ice cubes. You can also use frozen bananas instead of ice cubes.

Blend until the cereal has turned into teeny, tiny flecks.

Really love this shake. It’s a fast, fresh and simple breakfast.
