Happy Sunday, friendly faces! π
Welcome to this week’s edition of Link Love, and a special edition at that. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me post this little gem right here…
Those would be the new Love O’s from Love Grown Foods — limited edition boxes of heart shaped strawberry and chocolate Power O’s that are [almost] too adorable to eat… but too delicious to resist. They’ll only be available for the first few weeks of February in a few select stores (see graphic below), so be sure to stock up when you see them! Or… you can enter today’s giveaway for a chance to win a box of your own!
All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know whether you love your cereal dry or with milk, and I’ll randomly pick a winner tomorrow morning. Yup! This giveaway will only be running today, and is open only to those living in Canada or the US (sorry international friends!). Good luck and happy Sunday! π
Giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Kristen D!

I haven’t had cereal since I switched to almond milk so I’d try it both ways to see what I like best. I used to eat it mostly with milk depending on the kind.
emily
with unsweetened almond milk, always! love when the cereal makes the milk sweet and chocolatey π
Nikki A.
ah i love cereal both with milk and without but i’d say i find myself eating it more frequently dry, by the handfuls, out of the box, multiple times a day…. π

Either way…but I love it in coconut milk. REALLY rich but so good

Cereal, like most things in life, is better dry.

I have always wanted to visit New Zealand and this was the motivation I needed. HA! I think we have really similar tastes in articles…thanks for sharing!
jennifer
ohhh love cereal; if its for breakfast and what not then with milk or on top of oats w milk (so it’s soggy yum) but otherwise dry for snacks/adding to things, etc and you get the best flavour so i guess both? not sure if that counts but i hope so π i would love to try that one dry to taste it first and also try it with milk in cereal once i knew the “real” flavour. xoxox hope you’re not freezing to death in canadaland we’re on our millionth extreme cold alert today i think (toronto)
Kim
I enjoy my cereal dry & snack on it at my desk while at work.
