Questions about Nesquik cereal
How much Nesquik cereal is a sensible bowlful?
A small handful or two is a practical starting portion; add milk and, if you want a more filling breakfast, pair it with yoghurt or fruit. A 30 g portion provides 119 kcal and 12 g of sugars.
Can you eat Nesquik cereal as a snack without milk?
Yes. The chocolate-flavoured pieces are ready to eat dry, so you can have a small handful as a snack or sprinkle them over yoghurt.
How do you stop Nesquik cereal going soggy?
Pour the cereal into the bowl first and add cold milk just before eating. For a crunchier topping, keep some dry pieces aside and scatter them on at the end.
Can you use Nesquik cereal in baking?
Yes: crush it and use it as a crunchy topping for muffins or traybakes, or stir it into melted chocolate to make quick cereal clusters. Add it near the end rather than baking it into a mixture for a long time, so it retains some crunch.
What goes well with Nesquik cereal?
Cold milk is the classic pairing; sliced banana or strawberries add fresh fruit, while a spoonful of plain yoghurt makes a thicker bowl. You can also scatter a little over porridge for a chocolatey crunch.
How should you store Nesquik cereal after opening?
Seal the inner bag tightly or transfer the cereal to an airtight container, then keep it in a cool, dry cupboard. Moisture makes the pieces lose their crunch.
