Kids are notoriously picky eaters. That’s why it’s often difficult to get youngsters to bypass sugary cereals in favor of healthier fare for breakfast. Arranging food in a fun way or incorporating familiar ingredients into meals could get your little one to try new things. Below are a few ideas to get started.

3 Kid-Approved Breakfast Ideas 

1. Belgian Waffles Topped With Fruit

To incorporate more fruit in your child’s diet, pair berries, peaches, bananas, or apples with Belgian waffles. The fluffy waffle dough can be a source of grains and dietary fiber. The sweet taste will also help overshadow the tart notes in fruit and showcase the sugary flavor. 

2. Sunny-Side up Eggs & Bacon

If you want your youngster to start the day with a protein-packed meal, eggs and breakfast meat are early morning staples. With the yolk fully intact in the middle, two sunny-side-up eggs can be arranged on the plate to resemble googly eyes. Sausage patties or strips of bacon can be displayed to represent a nose and mouth.

3. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is made with whole grains, which are a rich source of manganese, iron, zinc, and additional nutrients kids need to stay healthy. Oats also contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that helps the body feel full longer. Maple syrup, fruit, cinnamon, sugar, or milk can be mixed into a hot bowl of oatmeal to make the taste more appealing to little ones.
