Summertime always makes me think of strawberries. I always have plenty of them in the fridge during the hot summer months, mostly because myself and my daughter go through them in mass quantities. I love strawberries so much so that I even often add them to cereal at breakfast. So I thought, why not base a warm summer breakfast cereal off of that?

This Summer Strawberry & Coconut Breakfast Cereal is easy, tasty and light. Making it the perfect summertime breakfast bowl. I like to make a batch of it ahead of time to have on hand for a good three days worth of breakfast bliss that keeps me strong, full, and on track with my health goals.

To start this breakfast cereal off, I started with Village Harvest Organic Ancient Grain Blend that I cooked in a mixture of water and some coconut milk. I really wanted the ancient grains to absorb all of that coconut flavor and goodness. To that I added just a touch of sweetness and topped it all off with fresh strawberries honey and coconut chips!

There are three amazing Village Harvest Organic Benefit Blend varieties and they offer a distinctive combination of healthful goodness.
