Breakfast Is Important!

Studies have shown that children who eat breakfast in the morning do better in school than those who don't. They score higher on tests and do better academically than the ones who skipped breakfast.

Children don't equate nutrition with taste. They don't care as long as it taste good to them
I have put together ten different breakfast to serve you child before they go off to school.

These are nutritious and tasty meals. Your children should love them.

Number 1

Sunrise Shakes

1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup pure cranberry juice
1/4cup water
1 cup yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or to taste)

In a blender, blend all ingredients until well combined. Pour shake into two glasses and enjoy.

Number 10

Cold Cereal

Any cereal is better than none, but try to stay away from the ones that have added sugar. Cereals like Cheerios, Total, Corn Flakes, or Kix are the best. I like Life Cereal and most kids do too.

Yay For Cheerios!

Cheerios is a great cereal for kids. They love the taste and they are good for them. Add fruit to make it even tastier.
