18Feb2014Frosty Orange Juice & Honey Bunches of Oats Giveaway!1.2K1This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Honey Bunches of Oats for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Full disclosure here, I have been a HUGE fan of Honey Bunches of Oats since I was a kid! And that is definitely saying something because we were major cereal eaters growing up. Heck, who am I kidding, my family still is! With all four of us going separate directions in the morning, I really don’t have time during the week to make homemade breakfasts, as much as I would like to. So it’s really no wonder that I would be head over heels for their new Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Energy cereals. Honestly, what mom DOESN’T need more energy in the morning? If you find one, let me know, I’ll take notes! They come in two varieties: Cinnamon Crunch and Chocolatey Almond Crunch and I’m surprised to say that the chocolate was definitely my favorite. I’m not really into chocolate cereals at all, but this one really combines well with the almond. These new Morning Energy cereals contain 2/3 of your day’s whole grain, 10g of protein (along with a half cup fat free milk), and 5g of fiber per serving. I definitely noticed that it kept me fuller longer than regular cereals, which is wonderful when you’re on the go like me. Of course both cereals went absolutely amazing with a tall glass of Frosty Orange Juice. Oh man, you simply NEED to try these! You can cut the sugar, or add honey instead if you’d like – but I’ll keep the recipe as-is and serve these for special breakfasts around here. I know a certain someone with a 5th birthday coming up soon who would LOVE one of these in the morning with his cereal. Think of an orange creamsicle in a glass… Frosty Orange Juice makes two servings2 cups orange juice 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 8-10 ice cubesPlace all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
