Do you want creative and healthy breakfast ideas for your kids? Want to think outside the box and ditch breakfast cereals? Then, these 5 Incredibly Easy Non-Cereal Healthy Breakfast Ideas Your Kids Will Love will blow your mind!
Healthy Breakfast Ideas That Are Not Cereal
Breakfast is really the most important meal of the day. After a full night sleep, your kids’ body is craving some fuel. Give them the right “fuel” offering nutritious and healthy breakfast options. Show your kids how important it is to face the day only after refueling the brain and body with a healthy morning meal.
Just like adults, children become very bored with food if they are having the same thing day in and day out! Be creative and offer them variety! Fun food is really the best way in my opinion to get kids to try new flavors. You can also “hide” vegetables for picky eaters.
Easy Non-Cereal Healthy Breakfast Ideas
Start the day the right way and give your kids delicious and nutritious breakfast options. If you are interested in learning more about processed breakfast foods, and why they are not the best option, please see my The 5 Worst Processed Breakfast Foods For Kids post.
1.Muffins
Muffins are just perfect for breakfast because they are super easy to make, kids get excited to eat them, and you can “hide” nutritious ingredients. You can make sweet or salty versions like my Grain Free Zucchini And Carrot Muffins, and Egg Muffins recipes. The good thing is also you can make a big batch and freeze for later. Yum!
2. Pancakes
Everybody likes pancakes right? Well, you can make healthy and delicious pancakes with only 2 ingredients: bananas and eggs. Isn’t that wonderful? Try my Banana Pancakes and see how easy and enjoyable this recipe is. Want more variety? Try my 2 Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes and/or 15 Minute Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. Want to add more nutrition? You can serve them with fresh fruits on top like berries and also your favorite nuts. These also freeze well.
3. Smoothies
This is my favorite idea for breakfast. Just blend fruits, veggies, and even some supplements like probiotics or collagen. Voila! 5 minutes and you have a glass full of nutrition. My kids LOVE smoothies and they ask for them daily. Try my Easy Everyday Coconut Water Breakfast Smoothie, or check out my How To Make Perfect Green Smoothies For Kids Tutorial. Smoothies are simply wonderful! If you are interested in adding supplements, please also see 5 Supplements That Will Make Your Smoothies A Nutritional Powerhouse.

What could be easier to eat if you are in a hurry than a cookie? Breakfast cookies are so easy to make and kids really love them. They are also great snacks. Try my Amazing 3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies recipe. Simple, wholesome, and so yummy. I also like this Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies recipe.

5. Sushi
Yes, you heard right. Sushi for breakfast! Now, instead of fish, you can make them with bananas. Add your favorite toppings and you have a great fun breakfast idea. My kids love it and they have some much fun eating them with chopsticks. Get your kids involved in the process and make it a fun activity too! Full details here: Healthy Banana Sushi Rolls.
