You know the importance of serving your family a healthy breakfast, but there’s often not a lot of time in the mornings. Here are a few simple and healthy breakfast recipes that you can have on the table in just 20 minutes and that will give your family the nutrition they need.
Cereal and soy milk
Soy milk is full of healthy protein. Choose a cereal that has high fiber content and is free of high fructose corn syrup. Sprinkling some organic sugar over some plain cereal is often preferable to eating pre-sweetened cereal. Read labels on the cereal carefully and then stock up on your family’s favorites.
Whole wheat toast and natural peanut butter
Whole-wheat toast is full of fiber and good carbohydrates to get you through your morning. Children love the idea of eating peanut butter for breakfast, which makes this meal a winning treat in most households. Look for natural peanut butter that is made without hydrogenated vegetable oil. If you have to stir up the peanut butter before you can use it, it’s a safe bet. Add a piece of fruit, such as a banana or apple, and you have a well-rounded and easy breakfast.
