Weetabix toppings come in all shapes and sizes, from classic fruits to creative cereal ideas that can take you by surprise. But which is the best topping in town?
Classic toppings for Weetabix
You can’t beat a classic, and for some, Weetabix with milk is the topping-free dream. But besides milk, here are some time-honoured Weetabix toppings that are familiar to millions:
Weetabix and banana
Some early risers can’t imagine their bowl of Weetabix without a layer of chopped bananas. As a source of potassium, bananas are a popular Weetabix topping for healthy eaters.
At brunchtime, you can get super creative and Go-Bananas-a-Bix – a delicious recipe featuring caramelised banana halves and other fruit toppings.
And of course, Weetabix Banana is a much-loved Weetabix flavour.
Weetabix with blueberries
It’s true – Weetabix with blueberries are a fruit fanatic’s dream. They make a sweet sidekick to other fruit with your cereal – from bananas to blackberries – and all contribute towards your ‘5 a day’.
Check out Busy-Day-A-Bix – a quick and easy breakfast with a handful of blueberries (and a few spoonfuls of yoghurt) on your bed of Weetabix.
Weetabix and yoghurt
Alright, yoghurt on Weetabix isn’t so much a topping – more like a best friend. It makes a delicious addition to your morning cereal alongside fresh fruit and other classic Weetabix flavours.
