i am looking for some fun breakfast ideas for my son. he seems to never want much breakfast and i know breakfast is so important.
French toast dunking sticks, some fruit - bananas, grapes, strawberries or apples (can eat on the go), yogurt and fruit parfait (nice mix), smoothies are fun too, especially if they can help make them. Homemade egg McMuffins (agg, cheese, English muffin and slice of meat) - anything that does not require a fork because they can take them on the go if you are short on time.
Have you tried either the cereal bars or granola bars? My son is in preschool and loves them, especially since he is not a morning person, and does not always wake up completely in time to eat a big breakfast. He calls them his "candybars", but it at least makes me feel better knowing that he is getting something good in his system before school.
If time is not the issue, try giving im food that he likes. It does not have to be "breakfast foods". My nephew hates "breakfast foods"
(cereal, pancakes, french toast, etc.) She asked his pediatrician, and his advice was give him foods he likes to eat, even if they are not traditionally for breakfast. Its better to get something in their system, than to have them go without or to have them only eat a few bites of something.
I ask my kids what they want for breakfast, i usually give them a choice. They seem to love apples, grapes or banana's. My kids (3&5) love pancakes and they have a blast helping make the batter, yes my kitchen does get a little messy, but they have fun!
Thats what I usually do.
Three items that are worth a try - Oatmeal raisin cookies, banana bread with or without chocolate chips, and peanut butter and sliced bananas on toast...these are fun because they are a little different and also pretty healthy. Good luck!
