cornflakes and raspberries

Alright, so if you didn’t have the time to try the blueberry pancakes, you’ll definitely have time to try this one! Freeze dried berries are a perfect compliment to almost any cereal. My personal favorite is the corn flakes with freeze dried raspberries. It reminds of my summer trips to visit my brother in Portland where we would just go out to his backyard and pick raspberries and add them to our cornflakes. The best thing is that you don’t need to rehydrate them first because your milk will do it for you and the flavor is so fresh! If this sounds like a weird concept, just walk down the cereal aisle because this idea isn’t new. But you’ll notice that those cereals with the freeze dried fruit (which usually tastes bland) costs a whole LOT more! These berries are full of flavor and taste great!

Here are some of my family’s favorite combinations:
Cream of Wheat with freeze dried Blueberries (we call this purple cereal, since my 2 year old is obsessed with colors)
Cheerios with freeze dried Strawberries and fresh banana slices
Frosted Mini Wheats with any of the freeze dried berries
Special K with Blueberries (they actually have a version of this with little (and I mean little) blueberries specs on the flakes…this is soooo much better!)

  1. You can also add berries (my favorite so far are blueberries) to oatmeal as it's cooking to give the oatmeal a little bit of a fruity flavor. Also, since you can cook oatmeal in either water or milk, I usually add a Tblsp. or two of powdered milk to add extra nutrition.

  2. Good call on the cereal! I've pretty much given up on buying cereals with fruit in them, since it's so easy (and much cheaper) to just add some! Besides, it's usually sub par fruit, like you said.

    Dried or freeze dried, it's all wonderfully tasty.

  3. Where do you buy your freeze dried fruit?

  4. I really enjoy reading your blog. Your ideas and recipes have inspired me to really use my food storage items everyday in my normal cooking and baking. Yesterday I even purchased your book off Amazon because I've enjoyed your recipes so much here on the blog.

  5. Thanks!

  6. Thanks!

  7. I’ve had a hard time subscribing to your newsletter. Am I doing something wrong?
