EASY KID FRIENDLY BREAKFATS IDEAS FOR TODDLERS

by admin

My ‘ideal’ breakfast for my kids is to be able to whip something up, make it nutritious as possible and have my kids eat it.lol.

The nutritious part doesn’t always happen.

My 4 year old twins are picky eaters and it can be a lil challenging getting them to sit down and eat a nutritious breakfast (especially during the week before going to school).

This is a list of breakfast ideas that work in our home and can hopefully work at yours:

1- Eggs with ANYTHING!! I mix eggs with sausage, bacon or cheese for a complete meal. You can also make it into a burrito.

2- Oatmeal- Quaker Dinosaur Eggs Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal (my daughter’s favorite)Photo Feb 18, 12 03 20 PM

3- Egg and Cheese Quesadilla

4- Mini Pancakes Kabob- add any fruit and some yogurt to dip. You can add sprinkles, mini m & m’s, whipped cream or chocolate syrup to pancakes to make it more fun.

5- Shake – A good one is strawberry, banana & cinnamon- check out the ingredients below:

*Ingredients: 1 banana, 1 cup of strawberries (fresh or frozen strawberries), 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tsp of honey, a pinch of cinnamon and 1 cup of ice.

6- Sausage and Pancake Corn Dog

7- Cereal with milk or dry

12- Peanut Butter and Jelly squares

13- Iced Oatmeal Cookie Zbar with milk or orange juice- It tastes like vanilla with a hint of cinnamon and is topped with vanilla icing. It’s certified organic, contains 9 grams of whole grains, 12 vitamins and minerals, protein and 3 grams of fiber to stabilize energy levels.  This is not only a quick breakfast idea for the picky eater, but a great lunch snack, after school snack and even a dessert for all kids.

14- Whole Grain Breakfast Muffin

15- Mini Cheese omelet

16- Avocado by itself (5oz. medium sized)- 250 calories, 3 grams of protein and 23 grams of healthy fats plus 20 vitamins and minerals making it a nutrient dense choice.

*Ingredients: 1 banana (equals 2 pops), yogurt of choice, granola of choice (or crushed cookies or graham crackers),

add-on ideas: mini chocolate chips, coconut shreds, cinnamon sugar or raisins

popsicle sticks or silverware to insert in the bananas

Directions:

Pour granola into a very shallow dish or plate. Peel bananas, cut in half, and insert popsicle sticks.

Dip into yogurt (or coat with a knife)

Roll into granola and put add-ons (I stuck the chips on by hand) Place on a parchment or wax-lined tray and freeze. Keep uneaten pops in the freezer.

Hope these ideas can help you mommies out in the morning and make your life a lil easier! I leave you with a tip…

**TIP: presentation makes a difference if you have a picky eater. Use a unique plate, a fun straw or utensil! This brand ZOOPALS FUNTENSILS has awesome utensils and my kids LOVE them especially the snake spoon**

These are some great ideas! The banana pops my son would love. I just did some breakfast banana splits recently with strawberry yogurt, granola, sliced strawberries, blueberries and a little chocolate sauce. It went over pretty well with the kids.
