Parents and kids are excited about the new school year. But before you and the kids head out the door- we have to give you the breakfast pep talk! If you’ve worked with me, you already know that I believe a balanced breakfast is magical in jump starting your day. A healthy breakfast will help improve: focus, attention, academic achievement, insulin resistance, manage hunger, manage weight, and jump start energy levels.
Moms and Dads are great about pushing breakfast, but often don’t follow the advice for themselves. We are often too rushed, don’t have a morning appetite or grab the wrong stuff. If that is the case, be creative and keep things simple.
Hint: A healthy breakfast will include enough protein(10 grams or more), fiber( 5 grams or more), limited “added” sugar (Keep to less than 10 grams) and some healthy fat as well.
Preparing breakfast foods, the night before will help make that morning rush less hectic. Here are 14 handy back to school breakfast ideas with the linked recipes or products I recommend:
Peanut Butter or Greek yogurt on wholegrain waffles with berries
Breakfast Smoothie or Store bought Yogurt/Protein Drink
Two boiled Eggs and a fruit of choice
Apples slices with almond butter sprinkled with granola
No Cook Overnight Oats with fruits
Five minute Microwave quiche and fruit
Mini Egg Omelets or Frittata Muffin Tin
Homemade high protein breakfast cookie
Store bought Healthy Granola Bars with glass of milk
Breakfast Parfait
Handful of almonds and a fruit cup
Have an amazing year! Enjoy 10th Grade Son!
