Studies show that good nutrition helps keep children focused, improves energy levels, and may help balance their moods. All these factors improve and promote better learning at school. Breakfast can often be the most difficult meal of the day and the meal most often skipped. When time is the issue it’s best to plan ahead and have grab and go foods available. Get organized the night before to avoid the morning rush.

|
For a “Grab-and-Go” Breakfast:
|
Squeezable or drinkable yogurt
Cereal bars
Cheese and toast
PB&J sandwich
Bottled smoothie drink
Carnation Instant Breakfast with low fat milk
Cold Pizza
Cold cereal in a baggy
Egg salad on an English muffin or bagel
Fresh Fruit
|
Add a juice box of 100% fruit juice – calcium fortifies orange juice or some low fat milk and your child is good to go.
