Sorry, bit of a boring one.

Can I please ask what your children have for breakfast on school mornings? I'm trying to get ideas for my son who has just started secondary school so I'm anxious for him to get a good breakfast.

He doesn't like toast, he'll eat cereal but isn't keen. I can get fruit down him if I make him, mostly bananas but they can't have any black on them at all. I've tried him on various homemade smoothies and he didn't like them. Absolutely will not entertain porridge.

Ideally he wants a pain au chocolate or a chocolate brioche every morning but I'd like ideas for something healthier!

AIBU to want him to eat a better breakfast and to ask for your ideas?

Oh and Id really rather not cook every morning 😆

Do you have a toaster/air fryer and microwave? Takes moments.

Dts are going into y9. They rarely eat breakfast, sometime grab a yogurt / banana or brioche on the way out. I didn't eat breakfast and still don't so I don't push it. They seem to make up for it with a bagel at break.

My son make himself scrambled egg, or he has a couple of scotch pancakes.

Scrambled eggs in the microwave with toast or crumpet and some fruit

Small bowl of fruit and either toast or potato waffles and beans.
