Healthy high protein on the go breakfast for kids

This is true for "whole wheat bread" as well. Whole grain breads have less carbs but that is not the same as "Whole wheat bread"

Milk has some protein but it also has a lot of sugar.

Cooked eggs reheated smell gross. They just do.

In terms of high protein, you have to think beyond the traditional breakfast foods. Try things like - cheese, nuts, avocado, hard boiled eggs. cold roasted chicken

You could also do protein bars but they do have a lot of added stuff and you need to make sure they do not have a high concentration of sugar alcohols (can cause stomach upset)

Op didn't ask for a low carb breakfast idea for kids, she asked for a high protein breakfast idea. An egg and cheese on toast will have a good amount of protein.

Kids don't need to eat like their middle aged mothers.

I add collagen, peanut butter, hemp seeds and chia seeds to oatmeal. it makes it incredibly filling. on the go, i would make breakfast cookies-take a smashed banana-add some oatmeal, 2 spoons of peanut butter, hemp, chia, coconut, walnuts and a couple of raisins. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so until the bottoms look brown.

Sounds good but not at all high protein??

Ha! As a middle aged mother who has basically had to cut out carbs in order to lose the post-menopause weight, I so agree with this .

OP, there are a lot of recipes online for higher protein pancakes and muffins - you could make a batch and keep in the freezer to microwave a few at a time. Coupled with a banana or apple and a thermos of milk, that would be a good on the go, balanced breakfast with a decent amount of protein.

Duh. It's one in the same. Meals can either be composed mostly of carbs or mostly of protein. To get a meal composed mostly of protein, you need to reduce carbs.

An egg and cheese sandwich is going to have more protein than Honey date nut oatmeal will have. Just saying.

Sure you need to reduce carbs, but not eliminate which is what your original post implied. You can add a tortilla or english muffin to those eggs and cheese to get a good high protein breakfast. To lose weight you should cut the tortilla but that's not OP's goal.

Why are these kids on the go for breakfast? It takes 10 minutes to make some eggs and bacon, or turkey bacon and a peanut butter on toast. And it is a real meal, not some bar. Wake them up 10 minutes earlier and have them have a proper breakfast. I do it for my kids and I work.Are they serious junior athletes and need even more protein? It makes a lot of difference in how grumpy they are the rest of the day. I know that if I eat a protein bar in the car for breakfast, I wouldn't even consider it eating and would be hungry pretty fast. What is the reason they don't sit down for breakfast? All these bars suggestions are full of sugar, hence increasing your kid's sugar levels and making them crave sugar all day long. Save the small sweet treat for the evening, hence not spiking their sugar all day long

I have two boys and they love breakfast and wake up starving. But when I was a teen girl, I was not hungry first thing in the morning (frankly, I still don't feel like eating first thing). The most I could stand was about half of a breakfast drink like carnation. I was, however, starving by 9-10am and so would keep a granola bar in my locker to try to scarf down between classes. Granted lunch was at about 11am in high school so I was starving again by 3pm . Fwiw, I was a thin, fit teen and played afterschool sports.

My teen boys are 6+ feet tall, both play sports and are pretty active. Neither one of them is a breakfast eater. After school snack? Yes. Breakfast? No.

I often use leftover pancakes or waffles to make a peanut butter sandwich for my kids, usually with a hard boiled egg alongside. (I know, not exactly low carb, but it does have enough protein to keep them happy until lunch).
