Sometimes breakfast for my son during the week has me stumped ๐ฎโ๐จ Here are a few of my quick go to options - I hope this gives you some ideas for the week ahead โฅ๏ธ
The 5 basic principles I work with to give my son a balanced meal are (in order of highest portion to smallest - for my son):
๐carbs
๐ฅ fat
๐ฅ protein
๐ฅfruit/ veg
๐ซfibre
I also try to boost his intake of plant based sources for his gut health by adding herbs and spices too (think cinnamon, paprika, mixed herbs, turmeric).
2 other breakfasts I do give him are:
๐ฅช toasted cheese sandwich (with a fruit/ veg on the side)
๐ฅฃ pronutro & milk
Not everyday does he eat all of the 5 principles, but for the most part he does ๐
I think sometimes as mums we over complicate our kids meals where it really can be as simple as โก๏ธ toast with butter and jam, a piece of cheese, glass of milk and a few pieces of apple on the side ๐
