Breakfast with the bears




Kelsey was given some stuffed animals yesterday when we were visiting family. She loved all the bears so much she slept with all of them and they had to eat breakfast with her. She enjoyed a bowl of a new gluten free cereal with almond milk. She also had fresh peach slices, juice and her vitamins with it. Breakfast is Kelsey's favourite meal of the day. She enjoys pretty much any breakfast food and would happily eat it for lunch and dinner if I let her. She loves fresh fruit, smoothies, toast, cereal, pancakes, waffles, any kind of egg, bacon as a treat, muffins or bread, yogurt, organic peanut or nut butters, organic jams and agave nectar, granola, breakfast potatoes, etc. She loves all of it and she eats a great breakfast. I have adapted many of her favourites to gluten and dairy free. She eats a bit of dairy still but at home eats all gluten free. She also has her vitamins and a drink with her breakfast. Having a great breakfast provides children with a great start to the day. It helps them to have enough energy, helps with learning and focus, keeps a more stable mood, and prevents over eating or too much snacking in the day.

What is your children's favourite breakfast?
