what to feed teenage boys for breakfast

[Anonymous]

I'm going to have a four 16 year old boys staying with me. My son is not a breakfast eater so typically breakfast for him is just a banana or a bagel and cream cheese. Are bagels and fruit okay to serve? Or will the other boys be starving? Ideas?

Bagel and fruit is fine. Or, pancakes are easy and cheap or cereal or ask them what they want.

Bacon in the oven is pretty quick and a big hit. They will easily go through a big platter I bet. I would also have frozen waffles and bagels that they can make themselves with cream cheese syrup, peanut butter, jelly available. Bananas are also easy.

I have the starving variety of teenage boys. They would be perfectly happy with bagels and cream cheese and bananas but might want 2 or 3 of each.

Milk, eggs, and freezer waffles with peanut butter and bananas are other easy hits here.

Ask your son to ask them. Otherwise, the prior suggestions anlong with yogurt and eggs. At 16, they can scramble them themselves.

Breakfast sandwiches are easy. Scrambled egg, Canadian bacon, thinly sliced avocado, a little bit of cheese, and maybe a hot pepper spread…Trader Joe’s has good ones like their Italian bomba. Serve on a bagel or some toast.


Very filling and lots of nutrients. Much better than sugary crap.

My DS16 likes breakfast sandwiches, oven bacon (I sprinkle a little brown sugar and red pepper flakes on before I bake it), avocado toast (simple preparation), bagels and cream cheese. He doesn't like a lot of sugar for breakfast but I don't know if that's typical.

My teens make their own eggs in the mornings in the summer if they choose. Buy a lot of bread or bagels and have butter and cream cheese. You’ll need more than you think you will. I have 3 teenagers and we go through about a loaf of bread a day, if that gives you any indication.

Assuming no allergies, you could also have some peanut butter or almond butter or something on hand for the bread/bagels too.

I’d also recommend that you have a fruit bowl out or show them the fruit crisper in the refrigerator. Sometimes my kids will eat eggs and toast and then pop back into the kitchen 30-40 minutes later for a peach or a handful of strawberries.

My kids would LOVE if I made bacon on a regular basis but it is such a pain in the ass. It’s more of a special occasion or weekend thing around here.

How many days?

Make your own breakfast bar.

Some variety of meats (Bake a package of bacon/A package of deli ham/Some microwave heat and serve sausage patties). Scramble a dozen eggs. Put out meats, cheese, eggs, and an assortment of bread, bagels, English muffins.

And then put out a fruit bowl with apples, oranges, bananas.

I don't know who all these people are suggesting bacon - it's horrible for your health. We do eggs, sourdough toast, bagels, fruit, cream cheese, lox, steel cut oats.

I would include a protein like eggs, turkey sausage etc.

Put out the stuff for them to make breakfast sandwiches. Eggs, cheese slices, sausage and/or bacon, bagels and fruit. I think most teenage boys are going to need some protein and fat for breakfast and not just the carbs of bagels and fruit.

Sorry I am not buying lox for a crew of teenage boys. They’re gonna be ok if they have bacon one morning.

My teens sleep through breakfast so my focus is lunch .
