When I was a kid, playing Star Wars was all the rage, and which ever girl got to play Princess Leia knew she was lucky. I spent many times running around the neighborhood as Princess Leia. Now, my son loves Star Wars. He can tell you all kinds of history and backstory on the characters. He loves anything Star Wars, especially the latest Star Wars video game. He was super excited to see the new Star Wars cereal.
Just for fun, I thought I’d surprise him and his sisters with a Star Wars Breakfast party.
I laid it all out on the table for them to find. We had cereal, smoothies, cinnamon rolls, and milk.
I whipped up some special Star Wars Smoothies. Choose your flavor and pick your side! The Yoda Soda Smoothies are made up of Greek yogurt, a splash of orange juice, lime sherbet, and green food coloring:
Yoda Soda Smoothies
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup lime sherbert
- 2 tablespoons of orange juice
- 4 drops of green food coloring
- makes about 2 1/2 cups
The Vader Ade Smoothies are made up of Greek yogurt, a splash of orange juice, red fruit punch, and frozen strawberries.
Vader Add Smoothies
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of orange juice
- 10 oz red fruit punch
- 5-6 frozen strawberries
- makes about 3 cups
It’s definitely not a Star Wars breakfast party if you don’t have Princess Leia’s cinnamon buns.
The milk for the cereal was actually C-3P0’s oil! I took individual milk bottles and spray painted them gold. My kids loved this!
And, then we had some delicious Star Wars Cereal. It’s a fruity flavored cereal with marshmallows. It contains whole grain with no high fructose corn syrup. It’s also a good source of calcium and vitamin D and only has 9g of sugar per serving.
Marshmallows “Marbits” are in 6 fun shapes
• Yoda (green)
• R2-D2 (blue and white)
• Jedi Fighter (pink/red)
• Stormtrooper (white)
• Lightsaber (blue)
• Lightsaber (red)
Corn pieces are in 3 fun shapes
• TIE Fighter
• X-Wing Starfighter
• Millenium Falcon
My kids love identifying what each of the marshmallows were from Star Wars.
The Star Wars cereal can be found in major retailers across the country. Between June 2015 and June 2016, fans will be able to collect 6 limited edition boxes featuring different characters. The boxes will come out in pairs and each will feature a “light side” and “dark side” character.
There is only one kind of cereal, but there are currently two limited edition package designs you can choose from:
Yoda Package
• Has a quiz on the back of the package for fans to test their Star Wars knowledge
Darth Vader Package
• Has a board game on the back of the package for fans to play as they enjoy their delicious cereal

What a fun breakfast party!! You are a great mom! My older brother was really into star wars when we were kids and never let me play with his action figures unless it was princess leia! That cereal is so much fun!
COOL — BREAKFAST PARTY — way COOL for every STAR WARS fan, and there are millions! Smoothies are so YUMMY! 2 STAR WARS cereals have games & quizzes on the back for kids to enjoy as they eat! Stephanie, you have so many cool posts!
What a fun breakfast party idea. My boys like Star Wars. But what would be even better is a mid-morning birthday party with this Star Wars theme. How cool would that be?
How fun and amazing is this? My kids haven’t been introduced to Star Wars yet but I’m pretty sure they’d love this anyway. I plan to watch the movies soon with them and I’m pretty sure after they’d be begging for this. How fun and so creative. You did amazing! So awesome.
What a great idea to have a themed breakfast for your kiddos. i wonder if my kids would like this. We are not huge Star Wars fans though so I would have to think up something else. Plus, my kids are super picky – so not sure what theme I would pick
Any fan of Star Wars would love to try the Star Wars Smoothies. I like the idea of naming those green and pink drinks to Star Wars characters. The cereals also look great as finger food/snacks in a party.
What adorable ideas! I would have never though of the CPO oil or the drinks! Super creative and everything looks great. I wish I could say I have seen all the Star Wars movies but I have only seen the new ones lol
I have a feeling my son will be asking for this the next time I am at the store! This looks like a cereal he would enjoy. He hasn’t quite fallen in love with Star Wars but he likes the characters still.
Wow! What an amazing party! I love all the decorations – I’m sure the pictures don’t do it justice! I think it’s so awesome that you planned and prepared all of this! 🙂 I love the little pinwheels! Everything looks delicious! 🙂
Now that’s something you don’t hear of, everyday. A breakfast party let alone star wars – love the gold painted water bottles to look like C3P0! I think he’s my favourite character out of the entire thing, at least he was when I was a kid. Omg the yoda smoothies, love!!! I need to go watch those movies again, love them!
This is such a cute idea. My nephew’s birthday is coming up and he’s crazy about Star Wars. He will definitely love a Star Wars themed party. I will show this to my sister.
What an awesome, creative idea! You executed it really well. I know plenty of guys who would love this.
