Family-Friendly Balanced Breakfasts

Posted by Nadine Bells

I'm a breakfast addict. I can't function without it. So when nutritionists talk about it being the most important meal of the day, I just nod along, thankful that they're not telling me to cut back on my early-morning eating. Because I won't.

Even when you're on the run (or rounding up the young ones), breakfast shouldn't be neglected. AskDrSears.com has a great list of simple balanced breakfasts you're sure to find manageable.

granola cereal, yogurt, a sliced apple
scrambled eggs, toast, orange juice
veggie omelet, bran muffin, fruit with yogurt
whole-grain pancakes or waffles topped with berries and/or yogurt, milk
whole-wheat zucchini pancakes topped with fruit, milk
french toast topped with fruit, orange juice or milk
low-fat cheese melted on toast with a piece of fruit
low-fat cream cheese on a whole-grain bagel, orange juice
peanut butter and banana slices on an english muffin, milk
For a breakfast-on-the-run smoothie, see "School-Ade."

Check out the site for a great kid-friendly smoothie (protein without whey powder!) And many happy mornings to you!
