4 Simple Tips for a Healthy Family Breakfast

It’s not always easy to get kids to eat a healthy breakfast while you’re rushing off to work and they’re rushing off to school. Still, it’s important for every member of your household to eat a healthy breakfast. Breakfast doesn’t have to be a big production. Here are a few simple ways to set your family up for a successful day.

* Make breakfast the night before. You never want to be in a rush when eating healthy, especially in the morning when the stress level is high. Prepare the breakfast the night before, when you’re relaxed.

* Keep the basics on hand. Nothing’s easier (or quicker!) than a bowl of high-fiber, whole-grain cereal and low-fat milk. (When choosing a cereal, look for one with fewer than 8 grams of sugar per serving.) Balance out the meal with a piece of fresh fruit.

* Consider packing breakfast. If your child is late for school, add some to-go foods to his or her lunch bag. Low-fat cottage cheese, mixed nuts, and part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks are quick and handy choices.

* Sign up for school breakfasts. All children who attend schools participating in the School Breakfast Program are eligible to partake in breakfast, regardless of income. Consult your administrator to find out if your child’s school offers breakfast for its students.

    A little less salt in your Soy Crisps would be great. No one seems to carry the no salt one. Thanks

    On a cool morning, nothing tastes better than fresh, hot whole grain cereal. I have found that this can be put together the night before in a crock pot and set on low. Get up in the morning to fresh, hot cereal without getting up early to cook!

    I agree with a previous poster. I love your Soy Crisps (specifically the BBQ flavour) but they are a bit too salty. I think you could retain the flavor with less salt. Thanks!

Got something to say?
