When seeing children, especially teenagers, one common thing they tell me is "I don't eat breakfast. It's too early and I don't have time." I find it hard to think on an empty stomach so I have to wonder...what are these kids facing in school on an empty stomach...tests, teachers, multiple demands. It's important to find something your child will eat before school. Often it's best to make something small, portable, and easy to eat for those busy school mornings.
Here are some options. Pick some that work for you or find inspiration to come up with your own ideas.
Shakes - make them with whatever you want, but try to incorporate fat and/or protein to keep them full a little longer.
Hard boiled eggs
Fermented foods like Kefir or yogurt.
Cheese with fruit
Fruit and nut bars - preferably home made
I hope this helps you get your little ones fed in time for school!
