What do your kids eat for breakfast during the school week?

[Anonymous]

Very curious to know what other's kids eat for breakfast during the school week. Mine always eat breakfast but it isn't always the healthiest, it's typically a quick bowl of cereal and a bar (Z or Luna). All processed, probably too much sugar. I want to know what others do, especially for the older kids since time is limited in the mornings.

A smoothie. DS has chewing/swallowing issues, and needs lots of calories in the morning. A smoothie loaded with protein and fat solved that problem.

Wheaties or bagel + cream cheese or egg burrito

Smoothie, toast with peanut or almond butter, granola and (plain) yogurt, or oatmeal with fruit and maybe nut butter, usually. The same things I have for breakfast.

HOmecooked oatmeal. every. schoolday of his life - 7th gr now. I cook it (sprouted organic oats) with organic raisins, serve it with cinnamon, honey, Kerrygold butter and sprouted walnuts. AND home squeezed oj. every freaking schoolday. Started in preschool.

I was raised on junky cereals. i have bad skin, tooth problems, and gut issues. I am doing this for my child. For whatever reason, he has none of these. I cook a few cups of it, leave the leftovers in the fridge and he usually goes for it for his afterschool snack (i'm not home).

My kids are big eaters. One has a bowl of cheerios and 2 eggs, or an egg and sausage most days. The other a bowl of yogurt with raisins (bleah!) and a sausage or egg + sausage. Sometimes it's oatmeal instead of eggs, and sometimes they have a small amount of fruit. Both also have something at beforecare/school.

Lunch for the one I pack is a pb&j sandwich and some cut veggies, maybe half a cut apple. Dinner is a bit bigger - meat/beans, pasta/tortilla/rice (and seconds here usually), veggies, and fruits after.

No idea where all that food goes. My one kid is skinny, the other average. Not looking forward to teen years!

DS 17 and DD 15 eat the following:
DS two eggs, several rashers of bacon, two smaller pancakes or one toast with nutella and a glass of juice(he is in sport's academy and has a hard time gaining or even maintaining weight) 125 lbs and a bit over 5'10"
DD one egg, 4 small rashers of bacon, orange juice. Occasionally she will have one small pancake. She is 5'6" and weighs around 110lbs.
Both kids athletic. Yes, I wake up early to make them breakfast and I think it is the most important meal of the day.

Whatever bread product I can stick PB and sliced banana on--toast, pancakes, waffles.

they used to always have oats, soaked in a little hot water, with apples and milk and cheerios or raisin bran on top.

one of mine got sick of that and now has cooked cereal with me, usually millet or bob's Mighty Tasty, or quinoa.

Cereal, breakfast bar or Poptart, egg and cheese buscuit (the frozen ones), bagel with cream cheese,..... Sometimes they'll eat leftovers from the night before. All five of my kids are very healthy, I don't stress about what they eat for breakfast.

Scrambled eggs with toast

Powercakes (protein-based pancakes, you can get the mix at Costco)

Smoothie

My oldest isn't a big breakfast eater, so it's whatever I can get her to eat: cereal, oatmeal, bagel, fruit and cheese, apple and peanut butter, yogurt and fruit, etc. I try to be sure she has something with some protein to give her breakfast a little more staying power.

Banana, orange or strawberries and a waffle, muffin, pancake or 2 scrambled eggs on weekdays. Sometime yogurt. Usually eggs and bacon or some kind of breakfast burrito and fruit on weekends. Kid doesn't like cereal or toast/bagels, etc.

On weekdays cereal or frozen waffles. On weekends homemade pancakes or eggs/toast/grits.

Generally nothing. Maybe some tea sometimes. I did not like to eat breakfast in the mornings at her age either, so I get it.
