My husband is an avid coffee drinker and makes a hot pot every day. I like hot coffee during the fall and winter, but not so much during the summer. During the summer, I prefer to start the day off with something cool.
Recently, I’ve been making a 5-minute breakfast banana coffee in the morning with my husband’s leftover coffee and overripe bananas. I know it’s an unusual combination, but instead of tossing them out, I chill them overnight to make a cup (or two) of this cool drink.
However, I cannot live on coffee alone. Sometimes I need the 25 grams of whole grains and 10 grams of protein in the NEW Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups with my morning coffee to get me going for the day.
I was introduced to Real Medleys® during a recent visit to Walmart. I was totally blown away. Real Medleys® are a delicious blend of yogurt and multigrain granola with real fruit and crunchy nuts. It’s the first shelf-stable convergence of granola, fruit, and yogurt – all in a single serve cup!
The demo lady showed me how quick and easy it was to prepare a yogurt cup. She simply added COLD milk and stirred. In 2 minutes, the contents turned into a delicious and satisfying cool breakfast treat. I’ve seen nothing like this before! I think it’s great that you can add your own milk when you want yogurt and don’t have to worry about yogurt spoilage in the refrigerator.
If you would like to sample Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups, select stores will be having demos during 8/13 to 8/16. Check to see if your store is on the demo list HERE and get your own “Crunchy. Cool. Yum.” from Quaker®.
I was really impressed and decided to bring a few yogurt cups home to eat with my breakfast coffee. I love that the cups are filled with real ingredients that offer quality and convenience. Plus, it doesn’t require turning on the oven to prepare and is served cold, which is the perfect addition to a cool cup of banana coffee.
It was a little tricky to find the NEW Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups, but I eventually found it in the cereal aisle at Walmart. The yogurt cups come in 3 flavors: Strawberry Almond, Apple Cinnamon, and Raspberry Pecan. I only found two of the flavors and will be checking back for the Raspberry Pecan. Just look for the Real Medleys® label and the milk bottle on the front label to make sure you’re getting the right Quaker® cup product.

First, prep the yogurt cup – add milk, stir, and let it sit for 2 minutes. Don’t you just love the a breakfast that you just add cold milk, stir, and eat!? I do.
Next, get out your blender and all the ingredients for the 5-minute Breakfast Banana Coffee.

This is the most interesting recipe I’ve seen online in a long time, and I’m going to try it this weekend. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Banana coffee…this really does sound delicious! Not something I have tried before, but looks like it’s time to change that!
Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning.
What an interesting combination! I will have to give it a shot. Thanks for linking up to Snickerdoodle Sunday!
It actually is like a shake if you use overripe frozen bananas. Just don’t add in yogurt because it will give it a tart taste that I don’t care for.
This is a great breakfast idea, especially here in Florida, where the day starts out so hot. Thanks for sharing your post at the #AnythingGoes Link Party.

This sounds delicious. I hate throwing out over ripe fruit, too, so I’m always looking for new and creative ways to recycle it:-) Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday!
That’s a great idea to put bananas in your coffee. Very healthy breakfast.
What a great idea to add bananas to coffee. That with a cup of yogurt would make a perfect breakfast. #client
It’s like drinking a smoothie and I love that it keeps me cool.
YUM! I love that it’s coffee but also a meal–I’m so horrible at eating in the morning and this might be just the thing I need to kick that bad habit! Thanks for posting!!
Pinning for sure 🙂

I’m not the best at eating in the morning, but if it’s quick then I’ll do it.
