Healthy breakfasts are a thing of the past, right? Wrong! Even with both parents working, breakfasts can be cold as well as healthy. Fixing a hot breakfast isn’t necessary to make it healthy.
Go to the cereal aisle of any grocery store and you will find that the choices are unlimited. You can buy breakfast bars, energy bars, and cereal bars as well as healthy cereals. Go down the produce aisle and you can find all kinds of healthy fruit that can be cut into slices and eaten. Even choosing dried fruit such as raisins, bananas and cranberries can be a healthy choice.
Keep sliced cheese and sliced meat on hand. Nuts are also a wonderful choice. Buy yogurt that are in tubes or single serving containers and keep fresh nuts on hand. Keep some tortillas in your refrigerator for those mornings when time is a factor.
Always have peanut butter, honey and jelly on hand. Grapes are also a great choice for breakfast food. Vegetables such as carrots and celery sticks can also come in handy for a nutritious breakfast. Ants on a log are a great breakfast food. Take a celery stick, fill it with peanut butter and put raisins on top. The kids will fall for these in an instant.
Not much time, roll some ham and cheese together and make a meat sandwich. Add some cream cheese to a bagel and you have a healthy breakfast. Take a slice of bread and add some fruit and cream cheese and it’s a cold breakfast in a flash.
Don’t try to skip breakfast. Most doctors say it is the most important meal of the day. You need energy to make your brain work and breakfast supplies that energy as well as much need nutrition to keep the body and brain going.
Just think ahead and use your imagination. Breakfast can be an easy meal to prepare. Use prepared breakfasts ideas as well as you own and your family will start feeling the brain power earlier in the day.
Kids don’t have a clue what is good for them. The next time they want breakfast, just hand them one of the many ideas mentioned above. Add a juice box and they will think that they have conquered all.
