Ever since I was a child, cereal played a big role in my breakfast routine. Whether dry or with milk, cereal is something I’ve always enjoyed – and now our children do as well. Recently, Kellogg’s® and its breakfast brigade came up with a new campaign (#StirUpBreakfast) to encourage families to forever change how they eat cereal and think outside the cereal box. The well-known food manufacturing company partnered with inventive chefs and culinary influencers to delight breakfast lovers’ taste buds and came up with 50 recipes to inspire new breakfast. From MasterChef Judge Christina Tosi, to the dynamic chefs featured at this year’s Taste Talks festivals in Brooklyn and Chicago, to talented foodie influencers featured on an array of cutting-edge digital media and content platforms such as Tongal, Philo Media, TasteMade and Meredith Xcelerated Marketing (a part of Meredith Corporation), each member of this culinary crew has created inventive new recipes using Kellogg’s cereal.
Here are a few combinations out of 50, invented especially to meet expectations of breakfast lovers:
Matcha Mornings Bowl – Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats® combined with matcha powder and skim milk and topped with sliced bananas and flax seeds. (Angel Wong – “Angel Wong’s Kitchen” – Tastemade influencer)
Pistachio Lemon – Kellogg’s Special K Original®, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes®, milk, pistachios, lemon zest and thyme. (Chef Christina Tosi – owner/founder/chef Milk Bar)
Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Carrot Cake – Kellogg’s Raisin Bran® mixed with grated carrots, chopped walnuts, dried pineapple, coconut flakes, skim milk and a dash of cinnamon. (Lazarus Lynch – “Son of a Southern Chef”- Tastemade influencer)
Ginger Zinger – Kellogg’s Rice Krispies® with coconut-ginger yogurt, diced peaches, chopped cashews, sliced basil and mint. (Chef Adam Melanos)
Mediterranean Morning – Kellogg’s Rice Krispies®, skim milk, pistachios and goat cheese crumbles, drizzled with honey. (Meredith Xcelerated Marketing – a part of Meredith Corporation)
Corn Flakes® Chilaquiles – Kellogg’s Corn Flakes® warmed in the microwave with an egg, milk and cheese and topped with avocado, tomato and a dollop of sour cream. (Meredith Xcelerated Marketing – a part of Meredith Corporation)
Christina Tosi, Chef, Owner and Founder of Milk Bar, and MasterChef judge on the campaign says, “It’s no secret that I love Kellogg’s cereal, so using it as the base for new flavor combinations makes the possibilities endless.” Through Kellogg’s Give A Child Breakfast, for every specially marked box of Kellogg’s cereal, they will donate 1% of sales to help expand school breakfast programs.

YUM – Especially that Matcha Mornings Bowl! I am going to try for sure!
I am going to have to try some of these for sure. They sound really neat.
A cereal bar is a great idea! I can do this at home too, for Christmas morning. How lovely.
The matcha morning bowl looks yummy! I love new twists on cereal.
This is a great idea. I want to try this at home.
What innovative ideas just using cereal I like the sound of the one with crumbled goat cheese.
Its amazing how breakfasts differ with every culture. In Jamaica where I am from, you hardly see persons having cereal for breakfast
These are so creative and interesting! There are several I’d like to try such as the Matcha Mornings Bowl.
i’m not a big breakfast eater but i can always go for something sweet. chocolate chip pancakes are my favorite breakfast creation though i’m hardly the first to add chocolate chips to my pancakes 🙂
Some of these are a bridge to far but others sound yummy!
I’m sure my husband would love this idea, Thank you for sharing.
Like Mardene, I am Jamaican by birth so breakfast cereals is not a mainstay in our diets. I like the regular cornflakes but I much prefer a full, fresh breakfast.
This looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Mini wheats have been my breakfast of choice lately 🙂 I’ll have to try the matcha bowls!
So many delicious and healthy options! Yummy! I’d love to try Pistachio Lemon and Mediterranean Morning!
awesome ideas to shake up breakfast so it never gets boring
