Remember Sneakers! (AND BREAKFAST)

"Eat your breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!" Why are parents always saying that?

Well, imagine you're a car. After a long night of sleeping, your fuel tank is empty. Breakfast is the fuel that gets you going so you can hit the road.

What Should You Eat?

Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have doughnuts or pastries all the time. They're high in calories, sugar, and fat. They also do not contain the nutrients a kid really needs.

Just like with other meals, try to eat a variety of foods,

including: fruit,vegetables, grains, protein, dairy products

Breakfast Ideas:

eggs

French toast, waffles, or pancakes (try wheat or whole-grain varieties)

cold cereal and milk

hot cereal, such as oatmeal or cream of wheat (try some dried fruit or nuts on top)

whole-grain toast, bagel, or English muffin with cheese

ENJOY !
