Kid Friendly Breakfast Ideas

8/23/2017

I have a passion for healthy eating, especially when it comes not only my children, but all children. It is us, as the parents, who will determine our children's eating habits. The habits that will teach our children and the foods we offer them should be a balance of foods that expose them to nutritionally dense options, set them up nutritionally to succeed, and offer an element of fun (because eating should be enjoyed)

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! It is the beginning meal that sets the foundation for the rest of the day. If the first meal of the day is nutritionally balances, the rest of the day can be a yo-yo of ups and downs that affect the overall health and performance of our children.

In the following series, I will show you some tips and ideas for healthy, balanced, easy to prepare breakfast ideas that give your children the foundation they need to excel in their physical and mental activities of the day. Each day we will discuss a nutrition topic that pertains to your child's physical and mental wellbeing.

Breakfast #1
Greens, Eggs & Ham

This is, honestly, one of my kids favorites breakfasts. They love any green veggie with eggs (scrambled or fried). In fact they went to a restaurant in town and ordered green eggs and ham, very excitedly. When it got to the table, the eggs had been dyed green. My oldest asked what made them green and the waitress told her food coloring. She wouldn't eat them, and to this day, the will bring up the time they had eggs dyed green instead of with greens, still in shock.
