Are you as excited about berry season almost upon us as I am? Okay, I realize for some of you it's already here, but for us, we've still got about 3 weeks to go, and I am counting the days! One of our favorite summer time activities is visiting our local U Pick farm and coming home with pounds upon pounds of yummy berries. And now we've got a whole new way to enjoy them with a great recipe from  Honey Bunches of Oats. 

Their original recipe features New Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Energy Cinnamon Crunch, giving it an extra boost of protein, fiber and whole grain. The added combination of nutrition helps to deliver a healthy breakfast option the whole family will love. The cinnamon breakfast squares, made with the cereal, are perfect for topping with Greek yogurt and freshly picked berries for an even greater boost of protein to keep the whole family full. The fresh berries are packed with vitamins and antioxidants and are a great way to step into spring! 

These make the perfect breakfast for a busy summer morning, or even a simple snack or dessert later in the day! The flavor of the cereal goes so well with the yogurt and berries. It's so refreshing and gives you the energy you need for a full day.
