It’s that time of year.. Back to School time!

(Can you tell I’m excited?) With 4 kids at home in the summer while working from home, you can imagine my excitement!
LOL

Did you know a recent study showed that elementary kids who were given breakfast at school had 25% better math grades along with higher grades in reading and science compared to kids who didn’t eat breakfast?

Aim for a high fiber breakfast paired with some protein for a healthy balance! Here are some options to get you and your kids out the door and ready for their day!

-2 whole grain waffles, 2 tbsp peanut butter on top (can drizzle some honey for sweetness or add chopped banana or berries as well), 1 cup of milk or OJ.
-High fiber Bagel or bagel thin or toast, 2 tbsp peanut butter, banana and 1 cup milk
-Bowl of oatmeal made with milk and chopped Apple, 6 oz OJ (add nuts to oatmeal or have a HB egg on side for added protein).
-Pizza for breakfast! Open English Muffin, spread some red sauce on top, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, pinch of basil and toast in oven until cheese starts to brown
-Good ‘ol eggs and toast! Add a piece of fruit and glass of milk and your’re in business! For a time saver, you can microwave for 30 secs to 1 minute!)

Time savers: -hard boil a dozen eggs on the weekend for a quick way to add protein during the week
– teach your older kids how to scramble and microwave their own eggs with their waffles and toast!
