Key ingredients

This almond berry cereal recipe is made with just five ingredients overall, and it can be customized based on your personal preferences. Here are the main players in this homemade, healthy almond berry cereal recipe:

Almonds: You of course need almonds in any almond cereal recipe, and it’s one of the stars in this one. Almond nutrition provides a large portion of the healthy fats in this recipe, and they’re also a high-protein food that can help with satiety so you don’t overdo it. Almonds are also high in vitamin E, copper, manganese, B vitamins and several more minerals, like magnesium and phosphorus. Research has revealed they can support heart, brain, skin, digestive, immune and bone health.
Blueberries: The berry of choice in this almond berry cereal recipe is the mighty blueberry, a fruit that’s high in polyphenols and nutrients like vitamin K, manganese and vitamin C. Blueberries are among the top foods at combating disease and support just about every aspect of health.
Flax meal: Instead of sugar-laden brans in store-bought cereals, flax meal — made from beneficial flaxseeds — plays the role of the cereal flakes in this recipe. It’s high in fiber and provides the base for this almond berry cereal recipe.

This particular recipe calls for coconut milk, which adds more healthy fats to the equation, and is topped with cinnamon. You can make your own coconut milk if you prefer, and the cinnamon topping is optional but does add a burst of nutrition.

You can also use other plant-based milk alternatives, such as almond, oat, cashew or hemp milk, or stick with cow’s milk or goat’s milk if you like.

In addition, you can include other berries and fruits, including strawberries, banana, raspberries or whatever fruit strikes your fancy.

Last but not least, feel free to use any of the healthiest nuts in place of or in addition to the almonds, like cashews, walnuts or macadamia nuts.
