I’m always on the lookout for something fresh and different for my morning’s nutritional amusement. We all agree that breakfast is the nutritional launch pad for the rest of the day, but it’s so easy to get bored and fall back into naughty habits like skipping it altogether or grabbing a carb bomb muffin.

Many of us grew up on the televised brain washing of children’s cereal commercials. If you hear 10,000 times before the age of 10, that “this is part of a nutritionally balanced breakfast,” it makes an impression, especially if you are told by an animated elf or animal. Turns out like so many other things we were told as children that was a big fat, sugary lie. We have since learned that the processed cereals that we ate as kids were a very, very small part of a nutritionally balanced breakfast. Eating the box might have been a more natural, higher fiber experience. Perhaps taking nutritional suggestions from Tony the Tiger and The Fruit Loop Toucan wasn’t such a great idea.

But just when you thought you had to settle for a sad, adult life of bran branches and whole grain gruel, Annie’s steps into save the day. Our favorite food superhero has already wowed us with organic mac’ and cheese and lots of other wholesome snacks shaped like bunnies. Cocoa and vanilla bunny cereal is another welcome edition to their line of healthy, comfort food. The cereal is as adorable as a breakfast food can be and boasts of “no icky additives or pesky preservatives.” Amazingly the white bunnies are created using real vanilla and the brown bunnies are made from authentic cocoa. There is no dreadful partial hydrogenated corn oil or high fructose corn syrup to toxify your bodily temple. In fact there are only ten total ingredients, none of which could be mistaken for chemical reactions.

Try a bowl of bunnies and your favorite milk product to start the day or as an afternoon pick me up. Who can be sad with all those bunnies around?

In the name of full disclosure it must be said that a bunny based breakfast doesn’t have the fiber kick of oatmeal or much protein, but its way better then the many other sweet cereal alternatives. Cocoa and Vanilla Bunny Cereal is delightfully crunchy and not too sweet. Give it a try if you are trying to find a fun way to ease into morning healthiness. Try pairing it with sliced bananas or strawberries to give your bunnies something to play with.
