Breakfast On The Go

IMAGE
You've heard it many times before: breakfast is the healthiest way to start the day. Jump-starting the day with breakfast benefits everyone - children, teens and adults. Although this meal helps people of all ages stay more alert and have more energy throughout the day, eating a balanced morning meal is especially important for children and teens, as it prepares them to meet the challenges of learning. Research shows children and teens that regularly eat a morning meal tend to perform better in school and score higher on tests.

Despite its benefits, breakfast may be the meal most often neglected or skipped. A lack of time and hectic lifestyle are often the culprits. Yet it only takes minutes to prepare a healthy, portable breakfast that can be eaten in the car or on the bus and will give the troops the energy they need to meet the demands of their day.

Delicious, on-the-go breakfast options can include muffins, granola bars, bagels or whole wheat toast topped with melted cheese or peanut butter, fresh fruit with cheese and crackers, slices of ham and cheese rolled into pinwheels or a carton of yogurt swirled with berries and granola. Even a slice of pizza warmed up in the microwave is a quick, portable and nutritious breakfast.

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
