Low Carb Blueberry Crunch Cereal

You can make as many or as few servings of this Keto cereal as you’d like. This is a great recipe for making a bulk batch in advance. You can easily store the finished cereal in a Ziploc bag or airtight container at room temperature. However, storing the finished cereal in your refrigerator also makes a refreshing, crunchy start to your morning. If you don’t want to prepare a bowl of cereal, you can even enjoy it as a dry snack, like a granola or trail mix. Further in this intro are listed substitutions you can use for the nuts and seeds selected for this Keto cereal. AT your discretion, you may also include other dried Keto fruits or even fresh fruits for a garnish.

Keto Substitutions For This Cereal

This dried blueberry cereal includes a hearty mix of almonds, walnuts, pecans, and pepitas. All of these Keto ingredients are low in carbs and add a surprising amount of fat and protein to your meal. The nuts can be interchangeable with other Keto nuts. This includes Brazil nuts, macadamia, hazelnuts, cashews, and pistachios. Choose unsalted nuts at your grocery store, and add your own salt to your taste when mixing the cereal. To substitute the pepitas, you may select sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flax, or hemp seeds. Let other users know in the comments if you have any other Keto nuts or seeds you like to include in your cereal!

Cereal or Granola?

Many may agree ‘cereal’ and ‘granola’ are fairly interchangeable terms. When you use whole, raw ingredients, your Keto cereal or granola will be pretty identical. Either enjoy this recipe as a breakfast cereal with non-dairy milk or eat it like granola by hand for a filling snack. In the United States, most store-bought cereals are made with puffed rice, oats, and a lot of added sugar. Granolas are made with less-processed ingredients, but are still held together with an ‘edible glue’ made with - you guessed it - a lot of added sugar! Skip the tricky process of trying to copy-cat the cereals you see on store shelves and opt instead for this more natural, whole Keto breakfast cereal.
