Children’s Energy Breakfast
What is it about the cereal aisle in the supermarket? There we are thinking that we’re doing the wholesome thing taking our precious little ones to the shops to teach them about all the wonderful healthy foods they can eat and prepare…..and then it looms. That symmetrical, brightly coloured, never ending tower of cardboard and sugar, silently calling to your child (anyone watching Torchwood right now will know exactly what it’s like!).
I’m even more comfortable in the biscuit aisle and that’s saying something for a nutritionist, but the point is that you would never dream of giving your child biscuits for breakfast BUT will allow them to start their day with something from one of those fabulously enticing boxes.
Being a mother of 3 sons I am constantly in awe of all that they achieve. But children need the right fuel and nutrients in their bodies so they can think straight, concentrate, work hard and play hard. For long lasting energy and vitality for your children look at foods like eggs – nature’s best fast food – scramble, poach, boil or omelette. Try porridge with berries or maple syrup or find a yummy chunky muesli. Cheese and tomato on toast would be a great start to the day and it’s pretty much pizza! Even a ham sandwich would cut it.
