The school year is starting again, and while this may mean less time you need to spend entertaining your kids during the day, it also means much busier mornings trying to get everyone ready and out the door. That’s why knowing easy breakfast ideas for kids is essential.
Making sure your kids start the day with a healthy meal before school is important, but it can be extremely difficult to make this happen on your busiest mornings. To help those who may struggle to find the time to make a nutritious breakfast for themselves and their family, we talked with Laura Burak, MS, RD, author of Slimdown with Smoothies, and founder of Laura Burak Nutrition.
“There’s nothing I love more than showing parents how easy it can be to navigate their crazy schedules by just learning a handful of quick easy breakfast ideas to get each day off to a healthy start,” says Burak. “Stocking a few staple ingredients like a whole grain bread or toaster waffle, yogurts, eggs, fruit, and a nut or seed butter is all you need for a variety of quick options that naturally contain a healthy source of carbs and protein to keep your blood sugar stable for hours.”
