Cereal with milk. Juice. Sometimes adds in a single-serving smoothie (banana, yogurt, etc.). Reads newspaper. Dad eats then too (same- cereal/juice).

Nothing. Both of my girls are like me. We never get hungry until around 1 or so, usually later. I've always been this way, and all three of us have always been slim. They're healthy, and rarely even get a cold. Breakfast is not that important. Your body tells you when it's hungry.

Here's what's in ours:
frozen blueberries
cream
plain whey
xylitol
Isn't xylitol an artificial sweetener? Just out of curiosity, why do they add that? Aren't the blueberries sweet enough?
The blueberries aren't sweet enough. We use plain (naked) whey with no added sugars. I think sugar is toxic. Xylitol is a safe, natural alternative.
But why not get used to the taste of natural sweetness without adding anything?
And shouldn't kids be getting their protein from real whole foods, not whey powders? Everything I've read said that it is not good for kids to overdo protein.
Really PP? I am not that poster but most kids are brought up on sugary cereals or no breakfast at all. This protein shake is fine. Chill out with your judgement.
New poster--xylitol gives me the runs and horrible cramps. I can't even eat a breath mint that contains xylitol without horrible GI symptoms. I don't think it can possibly be safer than sugar. I have celiac as well. I have zero problems with sugar beyond the calories which I have to watch.
Sorry, I don't think it's a healthy choice to give kids protein powders.

I'm amazed that your kids will eat some of this stuff.

My 7-year-old eats 2 chocolate chip waffles (frozen, because TERRIBLE PARENT) and 2 sausage links with a glass of milk for breakfast every week day. On the weekends, we eat other things, but those things are things she can get herself in the morning.

I make overnight crockpot oatmeal on cold mornings
Protein smoothies
Banana/PB tortilla wrap
Scrambled eggs and toast
Lately I have just been making double batches of Sunday breakfast which is either pancakes, waffles, or french toast. I then put 2 pieces and one slice of cooked turkey bacon on a paper plate with foil on top, put them in fridge. Kids take them out, remove foil, and cook in less than a minute.
Running late?
Nutella on waffle
Cheerios and milk in to-go-cup
Banana and granola bar
Protein powder in milk (shake it up)

My 9-year old son eats cereal and milk about 3 times per week. And about twice per week, we'll make him a cheese omelette or a breakfast sandwich (english muffin, egg, and cheese). He usually has a glass of orange juice, too.
My 12-year old daughter doesn't usually like eating breakfast, although she sometimes will have an egg or breakfast sandwich if we make them. She does come home from school, though, and have a "second lunch" sometimes.
My 15-year old daughter will eat toast and peanut butter, a bagel and cream cheese, or a homemade blueberry muffin as she is running out the door.
