Healthy breakfast for school kids

[LLK]

Thanks for your sharing. nutritious and tasty porridge and oatmeal are indeed good choices for breakfast. I will suggest giving kids some fruits, such as banana, papaya or apple in the morning. Any views pls?

Perhaps can try blending a fruit smoothie if kids r resistant to eat breakfast?

Ntuc in Citysquare mall sells non nitrate sausages. Not cheap though, costs abt $16 per pack…

My son usually eats a wholemeal sliced bread with butter and kaya for breakfast. Sometimes we will pack those tiny buns (3 or SGD1.80) at Four Leaves for his school break in the morning.

Weekends will make French Toast for him and NTUC roti-prata.
Too bad we stay so far away from the market central else last time, weekends we will buy pau for a change as well!

I have to confess that I give only oats with fruits to my DS (3+ yrs old) every morning. So It could be oats with banana, cinnamon and honey on one day, oats with papaya the next etc .... I really believe in the goodness of oats. DH and I take it everyday too. So far, he is happy with it. But I gotta prepare for the fact that he might request for a variety when he is older. Of course I will acquiesce ... provided they are healthy choices.

Its only during weekends that I cook pancakes and other breakfast-sy stuff for him (and us).

at least ur DS can take oats, my DD refuse oats.. she takes it in school when they serve as breakfast but when i make at home, she does not want to eat. Any tips on how to make a nice bowl of oats? what type of oats you serve ur DS? is it instant or need to cook type? Thanks.

Hi micollh,

Do you put sweet milk (ie. condensed milk) to cook with the oats? I love eating sweethened oats. My hubby used to eat unsweethened oats. Yucks to me!

I’m not a fan of oats and if I were to eat it, it has to be cooked savoury style like congee.


One easy way, cook the oats and add chicken stock. Crack an egg if desired. Serve with Furikake or fried ikan bilis and a dash of sesame oil.

my family is ok with oats,
but salty type...hmm...we dun like...feel funny with it.
we still prefer to cook oats with sweetened condensed milk and with eggs.
