Living in New Jersey, I wait all year longing for our juicy summer peaches. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is in my Peaches and Cream Protein-Packed Cereal Bowl.
I’ve created so many recipes with peaches. Smoothie bowls, baked oatmeal, parfaits, overnight oats, salsa and more are on my summer recipe list. This time, I’m merging my love of cereal with one of my favorite fruits.
I make sure to pack my breakfast with protein and that’s led me to develop some breakfast protein hacks. Typically, cereal is not a protein-rich meal but my fix changes that! Simply whisk about 3 tablespoons of protein powder into your milk of choice. Combine a few low-sugar, higher-fiber cereals, fruit and chia seeds and you are set for a quick and easy morning meal. This recipe is packed with 22 grams of protein and a whopping 16 grams of fiber, 
which is almost 2/3 of the recommended daily value for women.
My protein-packed cereal bowls are easily made vegan by choosing a plant-based protein powder and nut milk. If you choose an unflavored collagen protein powder, I suggest adding some vanilla extract to the milk and possibly some sweetener to suit your taste as most flavored powders are presweetened.
I love switching up different cereals and fruits to keep breakfast interesting. This bowl works equally well with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, nectarines, cherries, plums, bananas, oranges, pomegranates and more.
Which fruit and cereal combo would be your top choice?
