Hiiiiiya, friends! How goes it?
I know a lot of chitlens are already back to school, but our county here in N to the C goes back on Monday. So I thought today would be a good day to share a fun, easy breakfast treat for all the little kiddos out there.
But before we get to that, in light of school being back in session, I thought I’d school you. On me. Wait that sounded strange, right? What I mean is, I thought I’d teach you guys a few things about moi.
OUR LATEST VIDEOSI mean it IS only fair. The youngsters can’t be the only ones gettin’ their learn on.
And don’t worry, I’m not going to put you to sleep with my entire life’s story or anything. I am just going to share a few fun facts. Buuuut maybe these facts aren’t even “fun”? I guess that kind of depends on your definition of fun.
Regardless, I AM sharing. And you WILL be down with it. 😇
Okay, here goes.
You pronounce my name Shy-Anne. I always assumed most people knew how to say my name, because the whole Indians and capital of Wyoming thing. But, the first time I talked to this lady on the phone she butchered it. I guess that “A” confuses people? Consider this for the record: Cheyanne = Shy-Anne.
You can call me Chey. Errr, Shy. It is one of my many nicknames.
Have you heard the song “If I said you had a beautiful body” by the Bellamy Brothers? That was my parent’s song and I was named after it. Well, wait. I wasn’t named after the ACTUAL song. One of those brothers had a baby and named her Cheyanne. My dad fell in love with the name and gave my mother no say in the matter. Sorry mom! But, I’m so glad Dad put his foot down. I think I’ll keep my name for life.
I am not part Indian. Believe it or not, some people assume I am before they meet me. Sorry to disappoint, but ummm no.
I’m addicted to gum.
…And sugar free Jolly Ranchers. Bad things happen if Boy lets my supply get low.
I wholeheartedly believe popcorn is an acceptable dinner.
If I’m at home I always have a Breathe Right nose strip on. Unless we have company, obviously. That could get weird. And now you have a super sexy idea of how I look on a regular basis, huh? High five.
I have a degree in both psychology and culinary arts.
I have a minor in sociology.
Boy has a real name. It is not Boy. Okay, so this one isn’t about me. But, I figured I should just throw this one in as a bonus round.
Aaaaaand Done.
Don’t you just feel SOO much closer to me?! Now we can be virtual real life besties! I realize that makes no sense. Just go with it.
Fist bumps for ALL! 👊
Now that we are as thick as thieves, let’s get down to the good stuff – POPSICLES! You didn’t think I had already posted my last popsicle of the summer did you?! HOLD UP! Nope.
In case you live in under a rock, cereal popsicles are a thing. And obviously I HAD to get all over that fad before autumn came and it was too late.
So today I’m sharing some breakfast popsicles I wish my mother had made for me when it was time to go back to school.
Banana & Honey Cereal Breakfast Popsicles
You guys, these popsicles are THE best way to get your kids out of bed. And even better yet, they are a cinch to make. Winning all around if you ask me.
These popsicles are super creamy, slightly sweet and a touch tangy with hints of cinnamon and honey, clusters of cereal and tender chunks of banana.
These cereal breakfast pops are like your boring bowl of cereal gone craaaaaazy. I mean since there ARE bananas in here, I could pull a Gwen and say these pops are bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s. (<– Sorry, HAD to)
Plus, these banana popsicles are stupid easy to make.
Mix together some yogurt, milk, honey and cinnamon. Add in the cereal and stir to combine. Drop some slices of bananas into a popsicle mold. Add in the cereal milk mixture. Freeze overnight. Hand one to your child and send them off to school.
Then pat yourself on the back. You are now officially the coolest mom on the block.
Notes, Tips & Tricks for Banana & Honey Cereal Breakfast Popsicles:
- I used plain Greek yogurt in these popsicles, but I have made them before with honey flavored Greek yogurt and it was SO so good! You can use any flavor of yogurt you want, however, I strongly suggest you use full fat yogurt regardless of the flavor you choose. If you use low fat yogurt your popsicles won’t be as creamy and thick.
- The same thing applies for the milk, but IF you want to cut some fat, here is where I would do it. 2% milk with full fat yogurt will yield a creamier Banana & Honey Cereal Breakfast Popsicles than whole milk with low fat yogurt.
- I used Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal, but I sifted through the cereal and mostly used the bunches (or clusters). You can use whatever cereal you want, just make sure it is a crunchy cereal. You can also nix the cereal and just use granola. I made these the other week with all granola and they were AMAZING.
- The popsicles will stick slightly to the mold due to the honey. You will need to run the mold under lukewarm water for 10 seconds or so to get them to easily release.
Treat yourself and your kids to a breakfast in style with these Banana & Honey Cereal Breakfast Popsicles. Until next week lovelies, cheers – to unconventional breakfast treats!
XOXO

Popsicles for breakfast – yessss, please! Pinned! Lovely to learn more about you and how to pronounce your name. You should definitely keep it for life 🙂 I think I will keep mine too. Love your degree choices – I have degree in Psychology as well. Studying culinary arts must have been great!
Wonderful to know you more, Shy-Anne :-))
Ice pops for the breakfast…count me in, Cheyanne. I love Greek yoghurt, actually just bought 2 kg of plain one :-))
I know two little munchkins about to go back to school who are going to LOVE these popsicles! Definitely getting the cool mom award – breakfast popsicles are gonna be a hit 🙂
Love the fun facts, too! I’m totally with you on popcorn = meal and that doesn’t surprise me one bit but gum and jolly ranchers – never would have guessed! Have a wonderful weekend girl! XO
Now, I’m picturing you cooking away with your little Breathe Right nose strip on, lol 😀 And maybe singing that Banana song…hehehe. Popcorn for dinner…I’m down with that 😉 Don’t forget the butter! Gots to have ma butta!! Love all those fun facts! Want to hear more!
Love these breakfast pops. Perfect for those kiddos out there, but who am I kidding? I know that they would all be for moi 😀 And these might just be acceptable for dinner too. There’s lots of good things in there, so why not, right? Pinned, of course!
Have a great weekend, my friend. xoxo
Great popsicles! And I am addicted to gum, too – Juicy Fruit to be exact 🙂
Wow, these popsicles look incredibly delicious Cheyanne! I could totally devour these for breakfast! 😉
Hey girl – I love this kind of schooling and I learned a ton. About you. Awesome. Especially the breathe right strips. I need to get me some of those. Not necessarily as a fashion statement, but oxygen is a good thing. Maybe you’ll get a real trend going up and down the coast!! Ha. Here’s my factoid. I wear ski goggles when I chop onions. Yep, I do it. Even when my kids’ friends are over. Mom (me) is an embarrassment. Ha ha. It doesn’t stop them all from chowing down on the food! Ha ha. Popsicles are awesome and what a great way to start the day. Cheers to the coming weekend and popsicles for breakfast. And YOU! And your Breathe-Right strips. XOXO
what a great idea to rally the troops for school (though i’m still in denial about it starting). serving these popsicles for breakfast will definitely make me mom of the year. thanks for the fab idea and inspiration Shy 😉
Ok, I’m so glad we got all that cleared up Shy-Anne because I’ve been mispronouncing your name in my head for almost two years now!! Yikes!! This is absolutely the perfect back to school breakfast for the kiddos! It’s every kid’s dream, I’m sure, to hear…”come down and grab your popsicle for breakfast!” What an awesome mom you’re going to be!! Have a fabulous weekend Shy!!
I imagine that kids all over the land who are treated to this pop for breakfast will head off to school happier than they ever have! Such a fun idea! And I really love the look of them! You know I love learning all the things about you! So so fun!! Have a great day, my friend! xoxo
Oh my, Cheyanne – you should see how people butcher my name. They have no idea how to spell it or I have to repeat it over an over. Sometimes, if I call in an order to pick up, I just use my last name! And yes please to breakfast pops – what an inspired idea! A perfect weekend morning treat!
Dude. I was just thinking this morning that I need to make some more popsicles before summer is over. I totally wish my mom had made me some breakfast popsicles. Maybe if I had some of these in my freezer I would want to get out of bed in the morning instead of hitting snooze 42.173 times. P.S. I’m proud to say that I’ve always pronounced your name correctly and I love the story behind it. Cheers! XOXO
Thanks for sharing a little bit more about yourself. I love these popsicles and my daughter will go nuts for them especially when I tell her she can have them for breakfast! She’ll thinks its a joke, lol. Very cool idea and the bananas and cinnamon are so yummy. Take care.
What a great story about how you got your name. Mine is so boring in comparison. My parents decided there weren’t too many Amandas around, but then all other parents must have thought the same thing, because now there’s tons of us.
I can’t tell you how much I like he idea of cereal in my Popsicles. How unique and delicious!
Oh this definitely looks like the perfect breakfast treat for kids AND adults! I love that you used cereal in the pops, Cheyanne! Bananas seem like the perfect combo for the frozen treat, too. Kids in my area started school last week, still can’t believe it! Pinning these beauties. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
OK, now that my internet is back up… where were we my virtual real life bestie?
I kinda figure Boy wasn’t just Boy, but I did know of a lady who named her son that, so you never know. My favorite Jolly Rancher has got to be the Cherry, then the Watermelon, you?
These look most appetizing and refreshing with this heat and I’m loving the textures in the popsicles. Have a great weekend out there and I sent you an email, too. Cheers Chey!
OK “Shy” — I like that name! These popsicles are so much fun and are a great way to get the kids to eat a good breakfast before they’re off to school. These are so loaded with goodness and are such a clever idea!
Ya know what? The day was going just fine… probably have even been described as mediocre. That is, until I saw these!!!! LOVE that you made breakfast popsicles!!! GF, you’re the best. If I had these to wake up to when I was a kid, I woulda been WAY more motivated to get up for school. Haha. Karrie butchered your name??!? NO way. I’m totally gonna have to rib her for it when we meet up. Haha.
Wait a minute, you have a thing for constantly chewing? Color me not surprised. I am your bestie, after all!! 😉 I love how you didn’t end up saying what Boy’s name actually is. Haha. That’s my Chey! <3 I love how beautiful and spectacular these popsicles look. I mean, those banana slices peeking out… just GORGEOUS. Can't wait to learn more about ya, chicka! Muah! Pinning, of course. xoxo
Wait – why is this considered a “fun, easy breakfast treat for all the little kiddos out there” What about ME????? Whyowhy is it all about the kiddos – whyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!
I’m so joshing!
This is so wonderful – it’s like a frozen bowl of milk and yogurt and cereal! Loving the ideas of chunks of cereal in these! Brilliant idea Shy-Anne! 🙂
I love chewing gum too though I’m so trying to quit – and in the process of trying to quit I picked up chompin on ice! Grrrr! One bad habit for another!
And – you have a degree in psychology AND culinary arts? Now that there is a whole blog post in itself – did you get them at the same time? went back for one? I have a degree in Graphic design and Teaching – and am having the time of my life food blogging! Crazy eh!
Happy Thursday Cheyanne – hope your week and weekend are lovely! XOXO
“Boy has a real name, and it’s not boy” You are too cute Cheyanne! I love your random facts! And popcorn is my go to dinner half the time too!
These look fresh and fantastic!! And so easy too. My husband has been on a major honey bunches of oats kick lately, I’m sure he’d flip for these!
Shy-Anne, love it. Popsicles for breakfast? I wouldn’t mind having these dreamy creamy treats for all my meals! 😉 Bananas +cereal+ honey+greek yogurt+mil = these stunning popsicles? I am in for this super perfect morning meal. Have a wonderful weekend. 🙂
This is totally my kind of breakfast. I am not a morning or breakfast person at all, but these look fun. Why should the kiddies be the only ones to enjoy these?! 😉 I am also glad I know how to pronounce your name now. I always said it in my head wrong lol. I now just need to actually remember how to say it.
These breakfast pops looks absolutely perfect! Love the combo!
Cereal breakfast pops!! What a fun idea! Love this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing Cheyanne! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
xoxo Cailee!
With a name like mine, it has been butchered countless times. I have even been called “Toe”! I love your random facts, Chey. Hey!…from a person who has an occasional ice cream dinner, popcorn dinners are perfectly acceptable! These breakfast popsicles are a fantastic idea…and a deliciously wonderful way to start a hot summer morning! <3
I love your popsicles! Such a cool combination! Love reading about yourself! Didn’t know you had a degree in psycology!
Hi, Shy-Anne, nice to meet you (Well, having read all these facts, I feel like it’s the first time ever I’ve stumbled across your blog post). Definitely, the most shocking fact is that the name Boy of your Boy turned out not to be the real name. Sounds really complicated. And intriguing. Also, there’s another fun fact you should mention about yourself – you seem to be incompatible with the post office and mailing. You’ve trying to send (or just saying) me food parcels for a year now…and you know what? I haven’t got any. So, I am not even hinting you at sending some of these delicious popsicles (Besides, ice cream isn’t the best food for shipping). I am only saying you’ve done a fantastic job to have created this beautiful dessert pretending to be a healthy breakfast:)
I am SO proud of myself because I was already pronouncing your name correctly in my head. So I just want you to give me some props for that.
And as someone whose name is mispronounced always, I feel ya.
So thanks for your backstory! I love learning more about people. I’m greedy for intel.
And thanks for these. I love this as a breakfast option!
I love homemade popsicles, simple yet delicious, great photos:)
Funnily enough Cheyanne has been quite a popular name in Germany during the past years, I know several little girls with this name… I say funny because it is such an un-German, untypicall name for Europe (no Indians and no Wyoming here), but people love it. And that song is my best friend’s favorite song, I have to hear it at least 3 times every time we drive in her car together… I kind of can’t hear it anymore… 🙂 🙂 Lovely popsicles, I would love one (or two) right now, it is really hot!
Hahaha! That’s too damn funny and thanks for reminding me for it 😉 Thanks for the little rundown on some personal 411 because I learned some stuff I didn’t know about you. Absolutely brilliant idea on these breakfast popsicles. LOVE! I would eat these everyday, if I could, and dip them in chocolate. heeheehee 🙂
Oh my! This recipe made me want to run out and buy popsicle molds immediately! 😀 This is definitely the COOLEST breakfast ever (pun intended!). Seriously, I love all the ingredients in this, especially because I’m a big Honey Bunches cereal fan! <3
These look so great, my children would love an ice lolly for breakfast!
These pops are above and beyond perfection!
