Breakfasts can make or break our days, right parents?<\/p>\n

Blood sugar is low and the kids\u00a0likely need some nourishment after a 12 hour fast.<\/p>\n

We would love to offer\u00a0a healthy breakfast for our picky eaters. \u00a0However,\u00a0if we make\u00a0something that doesn’t appeal to them, all hell can break lose. \u00a0So to keep things tame in the early hours we\u00a0feed our\u00a0kids a breakfast we know they will happily eat. \u00a0Before we know it, we get stuck in a cereal rut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"healthy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, most kid-friendly breakfasts are a great source of SUGAR and\u00a0simple carbs<\/strong> which take that low blood sugar WAY up. \u00a0And soon after, it comes crashing right back down. \u00a0Those typical breakfast favourites\u00a0are nutrient-lacking, but tasty and easy for kids to\u00a0eat. \u00a0 The benefit to parents is that they are also (more often than not) easy to prepare with few ingredients.<\/p>\n

…Throw some PB&J on some toast.<\/p>\n

…Pour some milk into a cereal bowl.<\/p>\n

…Add fruit to a container\u00a0of yogurt.<\/p>\n

One of the most common things\u00a0I get from parents I work with is “Help! We need some breakfast ideas\u00a0for our picky eater and our family<\/em>“. \u00a0\u00a0Thankfully,\u00a0there are healthy kid-friendly breakfasts that are also easy to prepare.<\/p>\n

I’ve consolidated 10 of the best recipes right here (pssst…they all only have 5 ingredients or less). \u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Breakfast<\/a><\/p>\n

Oddly enough, my girls (aged 4 and 2) have only had a bowl of cereal once.<\/p>\n

Our breakfasts are always changing. \u00a0Partly because their mom is fickle and likes to experiment with new foods and recipes all the time. \u00a0So when my girls wake up they have no idea what mom is going to throw in front of them. \u00a0This strategy is also an effort to keep variety in their diet.<\/p>\n

We’re not perfect over here either though! \u00a0We’ve also fallen into the trap of eating the same breakfast over and over. \u00a0It happened recently actually. Coconut yogurt has been\u00a0a regular breakfast…too regular. \u00a0As soon as I realized\u00a0it, I threw something completely different\u00a0into the mix.<\/p>\n

Something green like these Spinach Muffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Something I dabbled with a few months ago after reading “Green Eggs and Ham” with Sienna. \u00a0And she was anxious to help me make it.<\/p>\n

\"Healthy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Healthy Breakfast for Picky Eaters<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truth be told, my girls don’t gush over raw spinach, kale (kale chips yes, but not fresh kale), collards, or even raw broccoli…at least not yet. \u00a0But they do get\u00a0their greens in other ways. \u00a0Like these green eggs!<\/p>\n

It’s a colourful and healthful meal that will peak your\u00a0little one’s\u00a0interest – and likely their appetite too.<\/p>\n
