Healthy Habits: Breakfast Ideas for Kids!

A major challenge for parents, especially during the school year, is making sure kids have a healthy, nutritious breakfast...that they'll actually eat! One of our recruits started a Facebook post recently seeking new ideas for breakfast other than cereal. It was so popular we decided to expand on it today. Please share with us in the comment sections any other ideas you use for your family!

The basics:

Whole wheat toast with almond butter + a glass of skim milk
Scrambled/boiled eggs with fruit
Smoothies (Wake-up smoothie; Green monster smoothie) 
Cereals (make sure it's 100% whole grain and low in sugar, or even better, make your own!)

Make-ahead options: 

Egg and bacon cups (turkey bacon-egg cups; canadian bacon-egg cups)
Whole wheat pancakes (banana, pumpkin--sub WW flour) 
Whole-wheat muffins (this recipe shows variations for all types of flavorings!) 
Overnight Oatmeal (strawberry-banana recipe; pumpkin recipe)
Whole-grain breakfast cookies 


Several of the make-ahead options are also great for those mornings you're running late and breakfast needs to be eaten in the car. In a pinch, you can also give your child a piece of fruit and a Lara Bar. Please share with us in the comment sections any other ideas you use for your family!
