Remember the Loaded Cereal trend on TikTok? It had its moment in the spotlight and while the hype may have faded, I’m still very much on board. If you missed it, the trend featured people piling all sorts of toppings onto their cereal—sometimes with a heavy emphasis on indulgence, including cookies, cake, donuts and candy. On the other hand, some took a more wholesome approach, loading up their bowls with fruit, nuts and nutrient-dense additions.
Inspired by the latter, I’ve created my own version of Loaded Cereal - a breakfast that fuels my mornings with gut-friendly, brain-boosting, and energy-giving ingredients. This is not just a bowl of cereal; it’s a powerhouse meal packed with fiber, healthy fats, protein and essential nutrients to keep you full and focused.
