Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles
These Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles are full of Greek yogurt, milk, cereal, and bananas so you’ll feel great about serving them up any summer morning!
I LOVE summertime! The relaxed schedule, lazy days in the back yard, taking walks downtown to grab an ice cream cone- I love it all! I get the urge to sell our house every winter, but summertime comes and I’m reminded of how much I love our property. I live within 10 minutes walking distance of the library, a park, and TWO local ice cream shops! And to make things even more amazing, our little town now has an adorable little coffee shop practically right outside my front door. (Iced coffee and cream is my love language.)
As much as I love my iced coffee in the summertime, my kids love popsicles. They are our summer go-to dessert around here. I have no less than 5 sets of popsicle molds in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Because we make them homemade, I have no problem letting my kids enjoy them all summer long. These Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles are truly made to be enjoyed when you get out of bed. Go ahead and send the kids outside with a popsicle this morning while you enjoy your morning cup of coffee in peace!
I’m excited to be working with the American Dairy Association Mideast again this year to bring you delicious dairy-filled recipes that our family loves. June is National Dairy Month and a perfect time to celebrate the farmers who work so hard to provide milk for our nation. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Andreas family farm here in Ohio. They are truly inspiring people who love what they do.
These pops are full of Greek yogurt, flavored milk, cereal, and bananas with no added sugar so you can feel good about serving them all summer long. Common questions answered by the ADA:
Q: What’s the difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt?
A: Greek yogurt has twice the amount of protein as most regular yogurts, due to the straining process. Six ounces of Greek yogurt typically contains 14–17 grams of protein. Regular yogurt has 7–8 grams of protein in 6 ounces.
Q: Is flavored milk healthy for my family?
Flavored milk provides the same powerful package of 9 essential nutrients as white milk, and kids will drink more when it’s flavored! Studies show that children who drink flavored milk meet more of their nutrient needs; do not consume more added sugar, fat or calories; and are not heavier than non-milk drinkers. See how flavored milk stacks up to other beverages, such as juice and sports drinks.

I was actually looking for same Popsicles recipe, this “Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles” seems perfect and delicious.
Super excited to try these milk and cereal breakfast popsicles, these seems delicious and unique. I was actually looking for same. 😍😍
These Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles seems amazing , super excited to try these milk and cereal breakfast popsicles. Thanks for sharing these with us.
love this “Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles”, thanks for sharing this with us, will surely gonna try this one. My little one will love this one.
easy to throw together and anything with peanut butter is a winner for me. I like the bitter edge of the brewers yeast so that didn’t bother me. However, I found my mixture too crumbly to hold together after carefully measuring everything. I didn’t want to add more honey to bind as I found the honey flavor already strong and didn’t want the added sugar so I added about 1/2 c more peanut butter. That did the trick. I’ve had luck with other milk boosting recipes that feature brewers yeast and flax so I am confident these will be a good treat to help with production
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
This looks so good! I love cereal but prefer to have as a dessert! What a fun treat!
These are so freaking cute!
Okay I NEED to try this with some of the new keto cereals. My kids would love it.
Such a fun breakfast treat for my little guy!!! Thank you for the recipe!
im going to try this with cocoa pebbles and chocolate milk too!
I know you have to freeze these for 8 hours. But I’m wondering how long do they last in the freezer? I’d like to mass produce these as a treat for a family weekend get together, but don’t want to make them to far in advance.
Does it have to be Greek yogurt? Can you use regular? Do you use plain or vanilla?
Hi Katrina!
I love this idea so much for my toddler! Even myself lol. So I included it on my blog for 5 Breakfast Ideas For Toddlers with your link attached. I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you how much I admire you and your page so much! Have a great day.

To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first. But it’s very close to a smoothie, and we love those, so hey why not try it. I used reg milk as that what I had on hand and also used left over u icon cereal. The grandkids loved these. For breakfast? I had a hard time getting them to last till then..
what a great idea! love this, saw it grouped with a bunch of posts on countrycleaver that was featured on its site, even though this is a few years old, still haven’t seen anything like it, so thank you and very creative!
Can you just use regular milk
I’d love to find out what Popsicle mold you used for these. I haven’t found anything online yet. Are you able to share? Thanks!
This may be a stupid question but does the cereal get soggy in these? I have a very picky 6 year old lol
What about all the dairy cows that work hard to give you your milk? Their babies are taken away from them at birth so we can have treats…. They need acknowledgement too. Looking forward to making these dairy-free… thanks
My child is allergic to bananas. Is the banana necessary? If so, what would be a good replacement?
im going to try this with cocoa pebbles and chocolate milk too!
I noticed a comment about milk substitute, My mom was allergic to milk protein, and almonds and soy — we used the Rice Dreams Rice milk for her, it worked great in recipes!
Also, I thought maybe I would use Carnation Instant Breakfast to flavor regular milk, that would give this an extra punch in the mornings.
Genius!!
Hi Katrina!
What a great idea! I bet kids absolute LOVE these for breakfast or just for an afternoon treat!
Sharing this post on my Pinterest board right now.
Linda
Thank you Linda!
Genius idea! Love this, so many fun combos to make with it!
Great idea….I’ll be doing the for my granddaughter!!!!! I think I’ll use Srawberry carnation Instant breakfast with mine..For added nutrition… Also might throw in a couple frozen strawberries with the bananas.. Thank you for sharing…..
You could also substitute a strawberry milk recipe.
Planning to make these for my kids’ first day out of school on Friday.
These are seriously such a fun breakfast popsicle! My kids would totally devour these! I love lazy summer days too!!!!
You may have just blown my mind. Popsicles for breakfast? Um…. YEAH!!! Who’s got no kids and is totally making these for her grown ass adult self? This girl!
What can you substitute for the banana (kids are allergic to them)?
What can I substitute for the milk products have a kid allergic to milk and can’t have any milk products except for the soy milk please help would love to make him some of these if there is a substitute for the milk products
There are plenty of substitutes on the market for alternatives to cow’s milk. I hope you find something you like!
I would think you could substitute the banana for strawberries… Peaches … Pineapple…
And for those with milk allergies …. You could use soy milk… I think it would work the same…Things like this are very versital.. Have fun and try different combinations:-)
Exactly! I like your thinking! Thanks for commenting.
Any fruit would do!
Now this is what I want for breakfast!!!
This is such a great idea, although I think it would be dessert for me! And I love that you included greek yogurt for a protein boost!
Katrina – tell me you did NOT create milk and cereal breakfast popsicles? For real…? Because girl, these are BRILLIANT. Even I want these for breakfast and I’m a long way past kid’s cereal. Haha! I’m dreaming about having these tomorrow. Pinned!
What a fun idea! I’d love to have these for breakfast!
How fun are these??!! I’m thinking great breakfast for a sleep over!!
Really fun popsicle and genius idea. Love it
How fun are these!! I would totally start my day with these gorgeous pops!
This is the best idea ever! Cannot wait to try.
You are BRILLIANT! Fun AND healthy! 🙂
This is such a creative idea and seems so fun for kids! I would love to make homemade strawberry milk by blending regular milk with strawberries, then use that for more nutritional value and a little dose of fruit. A complete meal on a stick!
I love these SOOO much. I want one (OK, two) for every meal!
These are so fun! I’m currently obsessed with my popsicle mold, so you can bet I’ll be trying these!
DYING over these!! So so genius. And absolutely perfect for Summer!!
THESE ARE SO CUTE I CANT STAND IT!! You are so talented!
These are just WAY to fun! And exactly what I need to say on a Monday. I think I just figured out what I am having for breakfast! 😉 Pinned!
