Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups whole milk (or any milk of choice)

½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups cereal of choice (Froot Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Cheerios, etc.)

Optional: fresh fruit slices (like banana or strawberries)

Directions

In a medium bowl, I whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and fully combined.

I place a few pieces of cereal into the bottom of each popsicle mold.

Then, I pour the milk mixture into the molds until they’re about ¾ full.

I add more cereal into each mold and gently push it down with a spoon or popsicle stick so it’s evenly distributed.

For extra color and flavor, I sometimes add thin fruit slices along the sides of the mold.

I insert the popsicle sticks and freeze everything for at least 6 hours, or until fully set.

To remove them, I run the molds under warm water for 20–30 seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.

Variations

I like switching up the cereal depending on my mood—Fruity Pebbles make them extra colorful, while Cheerios give a classic feel. To make them dairy-free, I use almond or oat milk along with a plant-based yogurt. I’ve also tried mixing in blueberries or raspberries for a fruity twist. For a chocolate version, I’ve used cocoa cereal and a touch of chocolate syrup in the milk mixture.

Storage/Reheating

I store the popsicles in their molds or transfer them to a freezer-safe bag once frozen solid. They keep well for up to 2 weeks. Since they’re frozen, there’s no reheating involved—just grab one and go!

FAQs

How long do Milk and Cereal Popsicles last in the freezer?

They stay fresh for up to 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.

Can I make these popsicles dairy-free?

Yes, I substitute the milk and yogurt with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk and coconut yogurt for a delicious vegan version.

What cereals work best for this recipe?

I like using colorful cereals like Froot Loops or Fruity Pebbles for a fun look, but classic options like Cheerios or Cornflakes work well too.

Can I add protein powder to the mixture?

Yes, I sometimes add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost the nutrition. I just make sure to whisk well so it doesn’t clump.

Do the cereals stay crunchy after freezing?

Some cereals soften in the freezer, but I find they still add a nice texture contrast to the creamy base. For extra crunch, I save a few to sprinkle on top just before eating.

Conclusion

These Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles are a fun, creative way to enjoy a chilled breakfast or snack. I love how customizable and kid-friendly they are, and they make meal prep feel like a treat. Whether I’m looking for a quick breakfast or a colorful freezer snack, these popsicles always hit the spot.
