[quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]
