[REHEATED] Back to School Breakfast Ideas

So here's how it works.

Number one, you are going to choose two breakfast options.

One of these I highly recommend is a make ahead breakfast option, something you can prep at the beginning of the week on the weekend so that you can grab it and just reheat it if you need to and give it to your kids in the morning.

You don't have to have a make ahead option, but I do recommend it.

And the other option can be something easy that you can easily make in the morning once they get up.

So you're going to choose two options.

I recommend one being make ahead and one an easy option.

And then you're also going to identify your backup breakfast option if your kids don't want either of the other options, because any of us who have kids know that sometimes even if they chose the options, they will still go, yeah, I don't want egg cups or protein pancakes, whatever it might be.

So we always have a backup option.

This is a go-to option your kids aren't likely to refuse.

Something you can easily keep on hand.

This could be oatmeal packets.

It could be cereal.

It could be smoothies like us.

We have smoothies as our backup option.

We always have a kid's protein powder on hand, which just makes them a little bit more full in the morning.

Sometimes we'll use yogurt as well.

We always have some sort of nut milk on hand and some frozen fruit.

Quick and easy smoothie for the kids.

My kids don't love nut butter in their smoothies, so we try to use like a whole milk or something like that if smoothies are on our plan for the week just to get in some of that healthy fat as well.

But I did want to mention that because when I talk about my smoothie formula, which has some sort of a liquid, fruit, veggie for fiber, some sort of healthy fat, and then, of course, protein.

We follow a similar formula for the kids.

We'll also use full fat Greek yogurt, which has protein and healthy fat in it.

But we just do what we can with the kids smoothies.

It is all about just getting something nutrient dense into my kids before they get out the door.
