Breakfast-who has time for it???
In the hustle and the bustle to get out the door for school, who has time for a good breakfast?? A majority of families do not. Don't we all wish we had the kind of time to make our children a hot homemade, healthy breakfast each morning? While research confirms many children and adults do not eat breakfast, research also confirms that those children that do eat breakfast tend to have better grades and attention spans in school. Who can focus when your stomach is growling? I know I can't. Studies also show that breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day.It jump starts your body. Think of it as putting gas into your tank to get you moving. So then you say to yourself: "Well the only things we have time for do not possess the most nutritional value." That does not need to be the case. Here is a list of healthy breakfast options that are quick and easy and will hold your child to snack time or lunch.

7 Healthy Breakfast Options for the Busy Family:

1. Instant plain oatmeal with adding your own brown sugar, nuts, fruit and raisins, etc (Starbucks didn't create this!)
2. A tortilla heated up with cheese-you can even add a microwaved egg (45 sec) and you have a great breakfast taco.
3. A bagel or toast with peanut butter-travels well in the car
4. A cheese melt on bagel or toast-whole wheat is better
5. A yogurt parfait-take a travel yogurt and throw some granola or other cereal and fruit into it
6. Microwave some veggie sausage (Morningstar farms is really good)
7. A little bit more time but still pretty easy: keep some frozen fruit, bananas and yogurt-throw into blender and you have a smoothie to go.
