| Looking for suggestions for school week breakfasts. Thanks! |
| Best case a smoothie, protein bar, or yogurt drink. Often some breakfast pastry, cereal, or pop tart. Our teen girls are at their worst at 7 am and we don't argue about food then. |
| Same. Homemade smoothie, yogurt and fruit, cereal, bagel, toast and fruit, or just a protein bar. Mine always eats something because she has a very late lunch, but I have zero interest in picking those battles. |
| I recently got her into the Kodiak protein waffles. Quick and easy and gives her a little fuel for the day. I also got these frozen acai bowls at costco she liked but I haven't seen them recently. She will occasionally make a smoothie if she has the time. |
| Avocado toast. Leftovers from dinner night before. Yogurt. |
| Bacon, egg and cheese mini bagel. Sausage, hashbrowns and scrambled eggs. Mini bagel with cream cheese and strawberries. Mini bagel with Nutella and banana. Smoothie. |
| I am up and always willing to cook. Sometimes she wants eggs, sometimes a frozen sausage patty, sometimes a frozen waffle. Sometimes it’s just some cut up fruit and milk or a piece of toast. Sometimes it’s leftovers from dinner. Sometimes nothing. She is 16 and I don’t micromanage what she eats. |
| Bowl of cereal |
|
Bagel with a hard boiled egg during the week. I make this for them, because they are not reasonable until after they eat. I don't know how they aren't bored, lol, but it's easy.
acai bowl, eggs, cereal or whatever they can scrounge/make on the weekends. Sometimes they work together to make something really fancy, other times they just complain about the lack of interesting food until lunch time |
| Avo toast, a smoothie or a protein waffle. |
| Honestly, this is a battle we need to stop. Sometimes nothing, maybe a banana and a bowl of cereal. She's just not a morning eater (will house food later in the day). |
| Two boiled eggs, whites only. She gets super foul if her blood sugar drops during the day so she always starts with the eggs. |

+1 to 9:53. I’m all for modeling healthy behaviors and letting teens work on some of this themselves.
My 15YO has started meal prepping her breakfasts maybe 40-50% of the time bc she can tell how much better she feels with a good protein rich breakfast. And doesn’t want to wake up earlier each morning LOL. 100% her own idea and she just adds any ingredients to the family grocery list. Otherwise: fruit smoothie, protein bar, sometimes just a banana. My kids are both big fans of leftover for breakfast also. |
| Bagel and cream cheese, berries, a matcha latte from a Trader Joe’s mix for one. Eggo waffles or cereal for the other. |
| My 17 yo DD tries to eat healthily. She often has overnight oats with plain yogurt and berries with a bit of granola on top. She usually uses the high protein granola or similar cereal and will often add a turkey sausage link. Sometimes she'll have a plain rice cake with peanut butter and a banana. If she wakes up late or isn't hungry, then she'll grab a protein bar and take it to school with her. She makes her own breakfast, though, and I don't force her to eat anything. |
