Healthy breakfast for school kids

DesertWind:

My boy refused to eat the oats I cook. I think he cannot tahan the thick and sticky consistency. He actually made a vomit sound today when I tried to feed one spoonful to him! :!:

Yup, my son gags when its too thick, so I've learnt to dilute it with more milk.

I sweetened mine with fresh or dried fruits.

Some quick and easy to make breakfast which a fav of my DS.


Banana choco Sandwich:
Spread Nuttela on 2 slices of bread. I use gardenia wholemeal. On one of the bread slice, place banana slices(sliced like wafers). Cover with the other slice of bread.

Avacado Foccacia Sandwich:
Cut up a 4\"-5\" piece of foccacia. I use gardenia foccacia bread. Slice this piece horizontally to get two slices. Spread slices of avacodo to cover it. If avacado is too mushy can even spread a thick layer like butter. Sprinkle a few sliced olives. Put in a dash of salt and pepper. Dribble a tsp of olive oil. Cover with the other slice of foccacia.

P.S: These can also be packed for the recess.

I may just make them for myself ....

Toasted bread with peanut butter and thin round banana slices is also my favourite. Of course not too practical for school going kids. :celebrate:

Augmum:

but she loves nestum.....so maybe u can try making oats watery like nestum . :idea:

Oh, OK, will try!

[DesertWind]

tisha:

My DS was the same. He finds it too bland and doesn't even like the smell of it. But he luvs the peanut-butter version which I posted earlier. Give it a try.

Thanks tisha! But my boy allergic to peanuts so this version is no-go for now!

Gee, it is \"good\" to know that so many kids here also don't like thick oats! :rotflmao: Yes, I read that you use fresh and dried fruits in your oats! Will see if this works for my boy...

I oso donch like oats.

We usually have (sanitarium brand) rolled oats for the entire family, sprinkle with fresh fruits & nuts and a drizzle of extra olive oil just before serving. If you can find steel cut oat, there will be the best as itl provide most vitamins for your loved ones.


Other options include fish porrigde, pork porridge. Western Breakfast will be the usual Bread & Toast but that only comprises 30% of our breakfast menu, cos I understand that eating too much yeast ( used in making bread, cakes etc) is not good for the little ones.

Not sure how true but I have also been advised to consume bread bought from bakery shop (and not those big brands that can keep for a week!), which is supposed to contain less preservatives.

Yes, I have also been told that the bread from the bakeries has less preservatives as compared the ones sold in the supermarkets… That’s the former gets mouldy within two-three days.


Read the earlier interesting recipes on banana choco bread… Anyone care to share how to get kids to eat bananas?

Thanks.

i found mini wholemeal pita from cold storage over the weekends, i do hardboiled eggs and mashed it. slit an opening on the pita, like a pocket, put the eggs inside, my DD love it. it’s healthy and yummy. mummy, can try it, easy to make too. the pita just need to toast it, i out on wok (w/o oil) and heat it up both sides (my oven spoilt le , haven got time to buy)…
