Do you dream in coffee? Are browns your favorite color palette? Do you love breakfast?! You’re in luck! Post Dunkin’ cereal is a coffee lover’s dream breakfast. If you’re like me, your biggest motivation to wake up is a cup of coffee. I gotta say I never imagined I’d get to eat it for breakfast, what a treat!
Breakfast Treat- Coffee Lover’s Dream Breakfast
I’m not a big breakfast person since having kids because I don’t have a lot of time and usually drink coffee in the morning until about mid-morning. However, on the days I do have breakfast, on the days Iteach a noon fitness class, I love including Post Dunkin’ cereal in my meal!
I love to have coffee (yes more!), scrambled eggs or peanut butter toast and a serving of this delicious cereal. Since it’s higher in sugar, it helps power my workout for the energy I need in class! On the days I don’t have breakfast, I might have it as a mid-afternoon snack with whole milk. As you may know as a reader of Dancing Mama Style, I’m a big believer in rounding out carbs with protein, fat or fiber so the whole milk is perfect!
Why I LOVE Coffee Flavors for Breakfast so Much!
Dunkin and Coffee Nostalgia
I grew up on Dunkin’! My father would take me, as young as 2 years old, to our local Dunkin’. He’d sit me on the retro stools they used to have and sit next to me at the Dunkin’ donuts bar. The smell of Dunkin’ coffee is incredibly nostalgic for me. I can’t go by a Dunkin’ store and not grab their coffee, and Boston Creme & Coconut Chocolate donut! When I enjoy Dunkin’ anything, it always feels special and like I’m a kid again. As luck would have it, my kids LOVE Dunkin’ too. We frequently get their munchkins for them. It’s been hard to get their hand off my Post Dunkin’ cereals, haha! Sorry guys, this is a coffee lover’s dream breakfast only, with flavors tailored toward the adult palette.
Not only do I have that wonderful memory with my father (we still go to Dunkin’ whenever we can), but I have lots of nostalgia attached to coffee too!
Why I love Coffee for Breakfast so Much
When I was about 6 years old I remember going to visit my grandfather’s house. I don’t remember visiting him before this visit. This visit had such an impact on me. One morning, we were the first ones up and he made himself some coffee. I was fascinated by the ceremony of the ritual. He brewed the coffee, poured a TON of milk in it, and topped with heaps of real raw sugar and drank it. An old school Macchiato of sorts! I remember asking if I could have some and to my surprise he made me my own tiny cup full of milk with a few drops of coffee. I treasure this memory and it never fails that on the mornings I inhale coffee aroma, I’m 6 years old again greeting the day with my grandfather.
Coffee Lover’s Dream Breakfast Flavors
Regardless of how you came to be a coffee lover, the love is real and tangible. Post’s Dunkin’ cereals currently come in Caramel Macchiato and Mocha Latte flavors! Both are really yummy and have tiny marshmallows that are very satisfying, both texture and flavor wise. In today’s world where we are all too busy to sit down to a proper breakfast most days, I think you’ll enjoy slowing down a bit and enjoying a bowl of Post Dunkin cereals! These cereals are rolling out nationwide beginning August so be sure to try them! Let’s call it a moment of self-care.
