Kids Brainy Breakfast Ideas

A nutritious breakfast does not have to take a long time to prepare or eat. The best breakfasts should include fruit or vegetables, a dairy product (or alternative) and a wholegrain bread, cereal or grain product.

Try these suggestions or mix and match to your taste:

• Raisin bread or fruit loaf: plain or topped with ricotta cheese, and chopped strawberries or banana
• Wholegrain cereal with milk and chopped fruit such as banana, berries or pureed fruit
• Hot porridge with milk, chopped banana or berries
• Yoghurt topped with a muesli style cereal and chopped or pureed fruit.
• Baked beans with wholegrain toast and a small glass of diluted fruit juice
• Scrambled or poached egg with toast and a glass of milk
• Wholegrain muffin with slice of cheese and tomato and a piece of fruit.
• Toasted bagel with avocado and a glass of milk.
• Wholegrain toast with a thin spread of jam or honey plus sliced banana and a small tub of yoghurt
• Fruit smoothie (blend milk, yoghurt, soft fruit and a sprinkle of wheatgerm or psyllium)
• For an on-the-go breakfast—take a piece of fruit , cheese stick and a few low fat crackers
