Breakfast Recipe For Kids

If your kids are like most, getting out of bed in the morning is one of their least favorite things to do. The process of getting them out of bed is not top on the list for most parents, either! Get up! Get dressed! Make your bed! Eat breakfast! Brush your teeth! Don't miss the bus!

Breakfast � the most important meal of the day. Without the needed morning fuel, how can the rest of the day possibly go well, right? If it was entirely up to your child, he'd probably request chocolate cake and root beer for breakfast! No worries, breakfast doesn't have to be a bowl of thick, lumpy, tasteless oatmeal. There's a happy medium both parents and kids can live with.

For those kids who would rather just skip breakfast because they aren't hungry don't have time, smoothies make a quick nutritious drink. The kids are happy because it doesn't take long to chug it down and mom is happy because her students aren't leaving without a proper breakfast.

Try this breakfast recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
� 1 cup orange juice
� 1 cup raspberry yogurt
� 1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
� 1/2 frozen banana (chunks)
� 1 1/2 cup frozen raspberries

PREPARATION:
Place all ingredients into a blender in the order listed. Blend at a low setting for the first minute, then the high setting until smooth. Serves 4.


Oatmeal certainly doesn't have to resemble wallpaper paste. Jazz it up with applesauce, brown sugar, cinnamon and fresh fruit. Just a spoonful of natural sweetness helps the lumpiness go down! Actually applesauce, brown sugar, cinnamon and fruit are wonderful staples to add to many breakfast items. Toss some in yogurt, on whole wheat toast, on top of cereal or add to grits!

"Here honey, eat a bran muffin before you go" doesn't sound nearly as inviting as "Are you ready for another peanut butter muffin?" Peanut butter is a good source of protein, Vitamin E, Niacin, Folate, Phosphorus and Magnesium.

Your kids will love this breakfast recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
� 2 eggs
� 1 c. milk
� 1/4 c. banana (about 1 banana), mashed with a fork
� 1/4 c. peanut butter
� 1/3 c. vegetable oil
� 1/4 c. frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed (left out of the freezer until it's soft)
� 1/4 c. nonfat dry milk
� 2 1/4 c. flour
� 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
� 1 tsp. baking soda
� nonstick spray

PREPARATION:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2. In a small bowl, break the eggs and use a fork to beat them a little bit.

3. In a large bowl, combine the milk, mashed banana, peanut butter, vegetable oil, apple juice, dry milk, and the eggs from the small bowl. Mix with a mixing spoon until the mixture is creamy.

4. Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the large bowl. Mix again.

5. Line a muffin tine with paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick spray. Spoon in the muffin mix. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way up.

6. Bake for about 15 minutes.

7. When your muffins are finished baking, remove from muffin tin and cool them on the wire rack. Serves: 12

If you are able to take the ingredients that you know your kids love and incorporate them into breakfast foods, you will have children eager to jump out of bed in the morning! By the way, we're still working on a healthy chocolate cake and root beer pancake recipes.

Healthy Tips for your Children

Childhood obesity has now become a worldwide problem. More and more children these days are suffering the same symptoms and diseases that were once only seen in adults; heart disease, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes, to name just a few.

The good news and the bad news is that our children mimic everything we do. Your habits will sometimes become their habits (scary huh?). I’ll never forget when my old neighbors said to me, “Isabel, our 10 year old woke up this morning and ate leftover chicken and veggies for breakfast, instead of the bagels we bought. I wonder where she got that idea?” I loved it!

When parents bring in their children into my office wondering why their child’s weight has now become a health hazard, I always have to ask, “How is the whole family taking care of themselves or better yet, how are you taking care of yourself?”

I know this is a tough question to answer but these little people are looking to us for their answers and many times our actions speak louder than words. We are their role models. So as a mommy, daddy, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa or just neighborhood friend, what can you do today to be a healthy influence to a child?

1. Develop one new health habit each week that involves your child. Want to go for a walk with Mommy to make our legs and our heart strong? Want to pack carrots in your lunch bag and see how many veggies we can both eat? Want to pick a healthy recipe and cook together? The options are endless. Make sure your child feels like he or she is an important part of your healthy life.

2. Let’s try and stay away from words like “weight loss” or “weight gain” and definitely avoid the word “fat”. Make it about “HEALTH”. We are going to take a family walk so we can all be healthy together. These foods make my heart and my muscles strong. Want to see Mommy or Daddy do pushups? Cool, right? Let your child know that being healthy is fun.

3. Be the healthy change you wish to see in your child. Show your child that genetics, time, and nothing else can get in the way of you getting healthy. Work on your biggest health obstacle and chances are you will see the same change in your child.

Commit today to good health not only for yourself but for those wonderful little people in your life that look up to you and emulate you. Take the first step towards health and weight loss with these healthy nutrition meal plans in The Diet Solution Program.
