Yes! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s how we get our motors started after sleeping. However, a healthy breakfast can be a challenge for busy families. I took a recent poll of some friends to see what their kids like to eat for breakfast and combined those ideas with some other options. These options are not what I would consider "complete" breakfasts. However, they are quick and healthy options for on-the-go families. You can combine most of these with fresh fruit and/or a glass of skim milk for some protein. Also, use whole grain bread.
