We definitely have our favorite breakfast foods, but from time to time it is fun to try something new and different.

We had the Oats ‘n Honey flavor, which tasted just like my childhood favorite granola bar.

This is one of our favorite meals for the summer because it is easy, healthy and everybody loves it!
