Consumers are as intrigued by breakfasts inspired by dessert as they are by dessert-inspired breakfasts, and The Cereal-sly Delicious Series by Salt & Straw puts an indulgent, nostalgic spin on cold breakfast cereals beloved by all ages.
In this collection inspired by simpler times and sweet mornings from childhood, anyone with a sweet tooth will find flavor-packed, cereal-steeped ice cream pints in varieties like Cornflake Cookies with Marionberry Jam or Cocoa Nibs and Frangipane. Offering something for everyone, the lineup includes a vegan-friendly Captain's Berried Treasure flavor made with a creamy base of oat milk and house-made "crunch berries."
The Cereal-sly Delicious Series is ready to be enjoyed as a one-off order or a delicious introduction to monthly ice cream deliveries from Salt & Straw.
