Help your kids start the school day off right with one of these grab-and-go breakfasts:
1. Egg rolled in tortilla — scramble and cook one egg in a small non-stick pan. Do not stir; it should look like a disk. When cooked, slide onto a warmed whole-wheat tortilla. Add a dollop of salsa, and fold or roll.
2. Breakfast-in-a-Baggie — Select a handful of whole grain low-sugar cereal. Mix with nuts and chopped dried fruit. Place in a snack-size zip-lock bag.
3. Slice of leftover pizza — Who says this favorite fast food is just for dinner (or birthday parties)? The protein in the cheese and antioxidant-rich tomato sauce offer nutrients and energy that your child needs to stay alert in school.
4. Whole-grain English muffin — Spread with all-natural peanut butter and sliced bananas, but stay away from muffin brands with high fructose corn syrup.
5. Muffins — Bake a batch of homemade muffins over the weekend and freeze. Making your own is far healthier and smaller in size than store-bought. For a natural sweet flavor, add pureed sweet potatoes, carrots and pears to the batter before baking.
