Breakfast Ideas for Kids


According to reports, 20-30% of children and adolescents tend to skip their breakfast meals. Kids need to eat a healthy breakfast to keep themselves energized as their brains and bodies are in the growth and development stage. A healthy breakfast does not have to be a long tiresome process. It can be prepared quickly and easily for you or your children. Some of the recipes can also be prepared before time so that they can be consumed on the go.     


Eggs are a staple breakfast ingredient, as they're not difficult to prepare and are loaded with adequate protein and other nutrients. The protein in eggs is particularly significant for the development of muscles and tissues in kids. Additionally, when compared with grain, eggs may keep kids feeling fuller throughout the morning.


Consumption of grains, that have the germ, wheat, and endosperm intact includes brown rice, whole wheat, oats, quinoa, sorghum, and millet. Since they're higher in fiber, protein, nutrients, and minerals than refined grains, they are healthier options for kids. 


Consumption of smoothies in breakfast can pack an entire meal into a drink. They're a sneaky way to add leafy foods to your kid’s diet. For preparing a breakfast smoothie, add a small amount of unsweetened frozen or fresh fruit. Add a modest amount of green vegetables, a spoonful of peanut butter and either milk or Greek yogurt, or a serving of cooked legumes for protein.


Some of the easy-to-make breakfast recipes are:


  • Cheese frittata

  • Egg -veggie muffins

  • Baked oatmeal

  • Quinoa porridge

  • Peanut butter banana smoothie

  • Orange creamsicle smoothie


The above-mentioned recipes are quite healthy and can keep your kid healthy, full, and active throughout the day!
