This is one of my favorite times of the year. And no, I’m not advocating for January’s freezing temperatures in Michigan. But I do love the pause that winter gives us. To slow down and find our way to get back to balance.
The holiday rush is over. And big game snacking is indulgent enough to solidify my craving to shelve the excess of the previous season. And one great way to do that, is to start with the light of my day. My coffee.
And with my favorite dark brew comes the swirl of my go-to creamer, NESTLÉ® Coffee-mate® natural bliss®.
Because I love my coffee strong with a lot of cream but not a lot of sugar. And other dark coffee lovers can unite in the plight of having to mix original creamer with flavored for the perfect cup. Only now with NESTLÉ® Coffee-mate® natural bliss® varieties I can pour to my content and get a delicious cup every time.
And do you know what else NESTLÉ® Coffee-mate® natural bliss® is great for? Freezing! With only 4-5 natural ingredients and flavors, this creamer freezes so well. And then I can easily drop it into everything like coffee, hot cocoa, smoothies, or even {my favorite} oatmeal.
Oatmeal is so utterly tricky. I love it, but face two huge issues. First, its either offered in packages that add too much sugar or none at all. Sugar free oatmeal is also a no-go…I can’t handle the majority of artificial sweeteners.
Second? Finding the perfect temperature. Which brings me to our new frozen Coffee-mate® natural bliss® ice cubes. Now I can make my own oats piping hot. Then simply toss in a few of these flavored all-natural creamer cubes. Are you ready to see this great frozen breakfast hack?
Ice cubes aren’t rocket science. But finding regular ice cube trays obviously is. So if you’re in need of these vintage wonders, check out your housewares section at Walmart. You can find the Coffee-mate® natural bliss® in the coolers.
For this post, I froze the Coffee-mate® natural bliss® Hazelnut and Sweet Cream varieties. But feel free to get wild and even mix flavors. I can say that the Vanilla flavor is great for mixing so have fun with it!
Now I have all the flavor and sweetness handled with natural bliss® creamers. Which makes shopping for oatmeal so much easier. Whether instant or homemade, I serve it up hot and on the thicker side. Then I toss in 2 frozen cubes.
Stirred in, your oatmeal to the perfect temperature. So next, I add my toppings. In this case, dehydrated apples and granola. I’m seriously in oatmeal heaven!
Breakfast hack complete! This handy trick is great for serving up this hot breakfast to the kiddos as well. And not to mention gently cool your fresh brewed coffee.
