Hi again. It's been a long day at work. I am exhausted but wanted to share this with you. Many times parents have no idea or run out of ideas for breakfast. Mornings are busy. You wake up and before you try to have a moment to yourself it's time to get the kids up for school. Breakfast is a very important meal of the day. Actually it's the most important meal of the day. Sometimes the kids might not want to eat so early in the morning or by the time your done running around getting them up, dressed or dealing with their protests it's time to head out the door for school. You might not have the time to prepare a gourmet breakfast but your kids can still have something yummy and healthy in their bellies. Sure you want to send your kids off to school knowing that they ate a good hearty breakfast but if time is not on your side i want to share a few quick breakfast ideas with you:
Whole wheat bagel, toast or english mufffin with peanut butter and a little honey
(Children under 2 should not have honey)
Bagel with cream cheese topped with cranberries or raisins
A boiled egg (can be prepared the night before)
Raisin bran muffin
Fruit with or without yogurt
A bowl of cereal ( raisin bran, cherrios)
A waffle toasted with peanutbutter
milk, apple or orange juice
A good healthy power bar
Strawberry and banana milkshake sweetened lightly with honey or agave
These recipes are not just for kids but parents can enjoy them as well especially if you are a working parent. One way of showing your kids the importance of breakfast is by letting them see you eat.
TNC:)
Note: If your child is allergic to peanutbutter substitute with cream cheese, appplebutter or jelly
