Healthy breakfasts keep kids focused and happy!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It jumpstarts your metabolism and gives you the energy your body needs to get through the day. A breakfast full of protein and fiber is the best kind of breakfast, especially for kids. If they start their day with sugary cereal or muffins, or white bread, they will have a sugar crash. A healthy breakfast will keep them steadily energized and able to concentrate. Cereal, bagels, and muffins are quick and easy, which makes them popular back-to-school breakfasts. There are, however, healthy back-to-school breakfasts that are just as quick and easy. Here are a few.
1. Berries & Basil Cream Cheese Toast
Whole-wheat bread is a great source of fiber, which helps keep you full until lunchtime. Top it off with non-fat cream cheese and vitamin-rich berries, and you have a deliciously healthy breakfast.
2. 3-Ingredient Avocado and Feta Toast
Breakfast doesn’t get much easier than a 3-ingredient toast. This avocado and feta toast is also full of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Make-Ahead Egg & Veggie Muffins
Make a batch of these egg and veggie muffins over the weekend, keep them in the freezer, and heat them up in the morning. Easy peasy!
4. Asparagus & Egg Scramble
Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, and they contain almost every nutrient. Scramble them with asparagus to get your kids started on their veggie quotient for the day.
5. 2-Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes
Satisfy your kids’ pancake cravings with a healthy, protein-packed sweet potato pancake. You can top it with Greek yogurt, honey, and cinnamon for some natural sweetness.
