Multigrain Cereal with Skim Milk and Sliced Strawberries

Ingredients

• Multigrain cereal 1.5 cups
• Skim milk 1 cup
• Strawberries, sliced 1/2 cup

Method

1. Prepare the strawberries. Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the green stems and slice the strawberries evenly into thin pieces to ensure a pleasant texture in every bite.
   Tip: Use a sharp knife to slice strawberries cleanly without crushing them.
2. Measure the cereal. Using a dry measuring cup, scoop 1.5 cups of multigrain cereal. Level off the top with a spoon or knife to get an accurate measurement.
   Tip: Avoid packing the cereal tightly to maintain the correct portion size.
3. Pour cereal into a bowl. Transfer the measured cereal into a medium-sized bowl that can comfortably hold the milk and strawberries without spilling.
   Tip: Choose a bowl with enough depth to mix ingredients easily.
4. Add sliced strawberries. Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries over the cereal to add natural sweetness and vibrant color.
   Tip: Gently mix if you prefer the strawberries integrated with the cereal.
5. Pour skim milk. Measure 1 cup of chilled skim milk and pour it over the cereal and strawberries. Let it soak for a minute if you prefer a softer texture, or eat immediately for crunchiness.
   Tip: Adjust milk amount slightly if you like your cereal wetter or drier.

Pro tips

• For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey if you don’t mind extra calories.
• Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and texture.
