With Environmental Working
Group's recent set of the large amount of sugar in lots of children's cereal, I
thought it might be timely to share healthy breakfast suggestions for children.
By giving your children a hearty breakfast, you won't just be ensuring they get
proper nutrition, however, you will also be helping form good eating routine.
Plus, research shows that feeding children breakfast helps lower the chance of
lead poisoning and boosts their mental ability.
One very important thing to bear in mind is that children's needs aren't that much different than adults'. I feel it's an advertisement-driven myth that children need special breakfasts. Adults and children have been eating the same breakfasts for years and years, and there is no reason to stop that now simply because we have a large variety of super-sugared cold cereals available.
However, being a parent, concentrating on making a delicious and nutritious meal in my children helps ensure that I consume a good breakfast as well. So feeding your kids a good breakfast can help you consume a good breakfast, too. It is a win-win situation!
Breakfast Egg Muffins
It is really an easy and tasty breakfast concept that is portable and able to be eaten on the run. It packs a powerful nutritional punch and tastes delicious. It may be adjusted to fit your child’s tastes with the addition of whichever vegetables your child likes. You may make these by the dozen and merely reheat for breakfast each day, making breakfast much easier than a bowl of cereal!
Wellness Bars
Forms of portable and kids love them, however they do contain a fair quantity of sugars from the dates, so that they should be paired with a hardboiled egg as well as other protein. These are simple to make, with only a few natural ingredients, they beat the heck from Pop Tarts!
Oven Omelet (Aka Leftover Omelet)
When cooking for an entire family, this is an easy way to help everyone get quality proteins and sneak up some veggies. Cook veggies and meats of preference (we love spinach, onions, ham, etc.) inside a large oven-safe pan until pretty soft. Give a dozen eggs or so, scramble along with a fork and stick within the oven to finish cooking. When it’s done, thin slices just like a pie and can be eaten on the run.
Protein “Brain Power” Smoothie
This is my kids’ favorite, even though they don’t get it every day, this is actually the only smoothie that keeps them full in excess of half an hour. It contains coconut milk, coconut oil, almond butter, egg yolks, banana, vanilla, and whatever flavor you want (cinnamon, cocoa powder, strawberries, etc.). It's plenty of good fats and medium chain essential fatty acids to support kids brains, plus they enjoy it because it tastes just like a milkshake! It also contains a smaller amount sugar than juice based smoothies and keeps you satisfied considerably longer!
Coconut Flour Waffles
These are a big hit at our home, and while they take longer to organize, they can be made ahead and frozen to reheat. They contain more protein than a few of the “eggs” you get in fast food breakfasts, and possess healthy fats and filling fiber to help keep kids (and adults) going until lunch. Additionally they only have a few ingredients and taste great! Use strawberries and whipped unsweetened heavy cream or pure maple syrup for toppings (if you want one!).
Bacon, Eggs, and Sliced Apples
Go for pastured eggs and nitrite free bacon, which breakfast is a well-balanced meal for anybody (and who doesn’t love bacon and eggs?!). It’s fast cooking up on the stove and beats the socks off a bagel every day. This is our standard go to breakfast nearly every day, and my kids have even started requesting their eggs cooked in a certain style: “May I have scrambled today” or “I’d like over-izzie” (over easy). You will find loads of ways to mix this up also it fills kids up. We haven’t had morning or afternoon snacks in months… simply because they haven’t asked for them.
Hard Boiled Eggs and Fruit with Heavy Whipped Cream
Another simple and easy , delicious breakfast option, particularly when berries are in season! Just hard boil eggs the night time before and have them prepared to peel for breakfast. Put a number of sliced berries in a bowl and top with homemade whipped cream (just beat heavy whipping cream along with a little vanilla with a hand mixer).
