School starts at 9. Why wouldn’t students eat at 7:30?

Because they are not hungry. I would not have them, especially anybody trying to lose weight, eating before they are hungry.

My kid chooses to wake up at 7, year round, so he eats breakfast at 7:30

That doesn't make it right.

What? Please elaborate on what is “wrong” about that

You should eat when you are hungry not because you are awake.

It will not help hunger and it will actually make your overweight daughter more hungry fast

If your DD insists on breakfast, have her eat something with protien.

Is this a joke? Wow, if she insists on breakfast? What the...

My kids that age make their own breakfast

Np. Good for u? But some people dont mind making breakfast for their family. Doesnt make you right or them right. Just different.

Personally i would not buy it

OP— when my kids ask for this type of thing, I will often offer to split the cost with them. Nutrition aside, I think this is a quick fix and agree that getting the fiber for satiety and adding some plain yogurt for protein is the way to go. I also think many kids would try it for a few days, and then it gathers dust in the pantry.

So, offer to pay $70 and make them pay $35 each. Make them evaluate themselves whether it is worth the cost. It’s easy when mom pays. It’s harder when you have some money on the line. If it isn’t worth $35 to your kid, it shouldn’t be worth $140 to you. If they chip in money and get tired of it, they will have some regret about not using their money better, which is a good lesson. If it’s a huge success, consider paying for the next box.

Plus, if they re going to drink breakfast, I would encourage them to eat something with protein in addition or mid morning. Even Daily Harvest often leaves my hungry around 10:30 (1:00 lunch), so I eat a Balanced Breaks— some nuts, some cheese and a little bit of dried fruit, and comes in at under 200 calories. A hardboiled egg or a cheese stick would work too.

Second the PP on Daily Harvest. Their Berry Oatmeal is also great.

Non-cooks get so upset when people who love to cook actually cook for their kids... it's like cooking for your kids offends them or questions the way they raise their kids so they have to act like it's an act of terrible parenting.

And the people who want their kids to pay or pay 1/2 like WTF.

Crazy, that a parent would expect a kid to pay or pay half for an unnecessary, luxury item. The horror! Do you seriously just buy your kids whatever they want without question??

I don't consider food a luxury item. It's a request for a particular type of food.

Is it this? https://yoursuper.com/products/trial-pack?variant=25883912456¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzIyAhIGq6wIVBovICh3saQ4KEAQYAiABEgLMC_D_BwE

That's what comes up in my search for "Kenco smoothies." I may try it myself. Except for the spirulina, which is just plain nasty, it seems fine (although, not sure what "booboob" is but....) A starter pack is only $25. They'll probably not want more after the first go IMO.

You do you. I think that’s spoiling your kids. I don’t just grant my kid a “request” for expensive food.

+1. Not only is it a food, it's a healthy food. They're not asking for candy bars. They're learning about nutrition and what they like.

Powders are generally not healthy. Why not just use real, fresh fruit?

Get a ninja and have them make smoothies. Add oats and flax seed with the fruit and liquid to keep it balanced, healthy and filling.

This thread is off the rails.

So many women with food and control issues.

Food is now a luxury item, do you make them pay 1/2 when you serve steak?

Well I don't deny my kids healthy food simply because it is more expensive.
