Balanced Breakfast Combinations
An ideal, nutritious, balanced breakfast contains complex carbohydrates and protein. Think grains, plus dairy, plus fruits. Of course, it's what you eat not what you say that impresses a child most. By treating yourself to a healthy, balanced breakfast, you model to your children that eating a healthy breakfast gives the whole family a smart nutritional start.
Examples of Balanced Breakfasts
Granola cereal, yogurt, a sliced apple
Scrambled eggs, toast, orange juice
Veggie omelet, bran muffin, fruit with yogurt
Whole-grain pancakes or waffles topped with berries and/or yogurt, milk
Whole-wheat zucchini pancakes topped with fruit, milk
French toast topped with fruit, orange juice or milk
Low-fat cheese melted on toast with a piece of fruit
Low-fat cream cheese on a whole-grain bagel, orange juice
Peanut butter and banana slices on an English muffin, milk
