This sounds a lot like us! We also have bagels with cream cheese and sliced bananas, sliced apples with peanut butter smeared on them, eggos on the day a kid is running out the door. We also have one kid who carbo loads because of intense am workouts so some days he may have a huge bowl of mac and cheese.

My kids have chocolate milk and special K or milk and one of those Earth's Best French Toasts.

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).

OK- I get that you're trying to do better for your child and that is excellent but really, you are annoying with this organic this and kerrygold that.

Milk, banana, chia seeds, frozen peach slices or frozen strawberries. I have a lot of frozen organic fruit - I just toss in a combo.

Yogurt and/or kefir, fruit (either fresh or frozen, depending on what we have), wheat germ. That's it.

Two boys 6 and 8--egg, yogurt, fruit, a starch (eg, toast/muffin/etc), water, milk

A couple of times a week they skate (hockey) before school and on those mornings it's two of the above--one eaten before skating and one eaten in car after skating.

Milk, half a frozen banana, a cup or so of some other fruit (often blueberries or mango or raspberries or cherries - I use frozen fruit year round), and some combination of nut butter, yogurt, and/or chia seeds.

scrambled eggs and brown toast
or
porridge
or
fresh baked croissants and fruit
or
toasted bagel (if desperate)

and milk or decaf

steel cut oats with frozen fruit dropped in
or
toast w/pbj and yogurt
or
eggs and fruit

3 glazed donuts

always a banana and milk, and then either cereal, oatmeal, or PB toast.

DD is like me; can't handle anything too heavy or substantial before around 10 am or else she feels nauseated. She usually has a banana, a cup of yogurt, or some of a smoothie. She then takes a snack to have between classes later in the morning.

DS cannot function without proper food in the morning. A bowl of cereal for him is like an afternoon snack. This morning, for example, he had a bowl of cooked oats with cinnamon, almond butter, and cut up apple cubes, turkey sausage, a glass of chocolate almond milk and two glasses of ice water (hates any kind of juice if not included in a smoothie). DS is very lax with food and doesn't care if something is leftover and reheated. Sometimes I'll scramble some eggs or make an egg white omelette the night before that he just has to heat the next morning. Or I'll make up a big batch of fruit pancakes (he hates syrup and eats them plain, so I try to make them more flavorful) on Sunday that he can heat and eat most of the week. He's pretty much the one I have to worry about breakfast wise because if he's running late, he's prone to either just grabbing a piece of fruit and getting in trouble for being hangry at school or will have his sister go through a drive-thru to get him something on the way to school.

What do you put in the smoothies for those of you whose kids have smoothies? My DS has to be out the door by 6:25. What time are you waking up to do this or do your kids make their own breakfast/lunch?

Breakfast sandwiches. Eggs and/or meat with cheese on an English muffin. Good option for on-the-go protein.
