Breakfast is an important start to your family's day, but all too often, it's rushed, hectic, and…monotonous. Target has brought some family favorites together and made some interesting yummy combinations for quick and easy throw together breakfasts. These are simple twists on traditional breakfasts and there isn't anything complex about these recipes. These are great to help fuel your day.

Platefull Co-Op has sent me a selection of favorite items so that I could create my own unique spins on breakfast and share them with you:

• 1 pouch Nature Valley® Protein Granola (Crunchy Oats 'n Honey)
• 1 box Nature Valley® Granola Bars (Crunchy Oats 'n Honey)
• 1 box Honey Nut Cheerios® Medley Crunch™ cereal (Honey Nut Cheerios, crispy flakes, and clusters made with real almond slices)
• 1 box Trix® (Wildberry Red Swirls) cereal
• 1 package Quaker® Oats (old fashioned)
• 1 jar Jif® peanut butter (creamy)
• 1 package Nutella® (Hazelnut spread) mini cups
• 1 pouch Grandma Hoerner’s® Big Slice™ apples snack (kettle cooked apples: slices, chunks, and sauce)

I decided to only combine the ingredients in the kit together and see what I could come up with. In my first recipe I emptied the pouch of Grandma Hoerner’s® Big Slice™ apples snack in a small glass ramekin and sprinkled some Nature Valley® Protein Granola and some Quaker® Oats over the top. The second recipe I took one Nature Valley® Granola Bar out of the box and since it was already divided into two bars inside the packaging I spread Jif® peanut butter on one and one Nutella® mini cup on the other. The one with peanut butter I also sprinkled Honey Nut Cheerios® Medley Crunch™ cereal on top and the one with Nutella® I placed some Trix® cereal on top. The kids and I enjoyed our easy breakfast twists.

Big Slice Apples, Granola & Oats

I especially loved the Grandma Hoerner’s® Big Slice™ apples snack. This particular one that I received was Cherry Vanilla flavored and had luscious cherries, chunky apples, and real Madagascar vanilla. It was so delicious, especially with the little bit of crunch that the granola and oats gave!

Granola Bar Cereal Treats

These granola bar treats that I made were good, but too sweet for me. My kids loved them though. I love the Honey Nut Cheerios® Medley Crunch™ cereal by itself and with milk in a bowl just fine for breakfast. I am not too much of a peanut butter fan, but the Nutella® I love!

Nutella Hazelnut Spread Review with MommyParties

If you have never tasted Nutella you are missing out tremendously! The delicious Nutella spread is made from the combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa.

This luscious and heavenly nut butter can be spread onto and mixed with all sorts of things, but eaten by the spoonful is my favorite way of eating it :) My kids love it on whole wheat toast, English muffins, waffles and bagels. It a great way to get your kids to eat whole grains. We also love to bake and cook with it! It is wonderful on banana splits, ice cream sundaes, and in healthy smoothies! Just enjoy this yummy confection in moderation because it is loaded with fat and sugar!

Nutella hazelnut spread is a terrific option for individuals with peanut allergies. The spread does not contain peanuts or peanut ingredients, nor does the product come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing. It also doesn't contain any artificial colors or preservatives.

In conjunction with MommyParties and Nutella we received a free party kit that included:
26.5oz Jar of Nutella hazelnut spread for use during my party
(10) Nutella spread sample packs and coupons for guests bags
(10) Nutella spread guest bags
(10) Nutella spread tumbler mugs
(10) Nutella spread spreaders
(10) Nutella spread tip cards for guests

Party activities - Everyday Breakfast Tips and Trivia

I threw a MommyParty and everyone had a great time! We had banana splits with Nutella on them and played a game of Bananagrams. We also had fun with the trivia and thinking up other imaginative ways that we could use Nutella. The Eco-Wave tumbler mugs we found even cooler than others we have seen because it is a Gordon Sinclair BIODEGRADABLE Tumbler! When disposed of into a microbial environment this tumbler breaks down in only 1-5 years and all of it is nontoxic to the environment.
