Breakfast before school

We had a year group email sent out to us saying that chocolate bars and red bulls are not suitable breakfasts for 3 year olds…yes, my daughter is in nursery and apparently, that’s what some parents are feeding their kids. I don’t judge (each to their own), but don’t these kids have enough energy as it is?! 🤣🙈

My 2y/o has greek yogurt with chopped banana, and a drizzle of honey. She's just started chopping the banana herself and is chuffed with the new arrangement!

This!!

Porridge with Cadbury drinking chocolate sprinkled on top or chocolate weetabix… yes, there’s a theme. I stood firm and it was fruit, yoghurt, non sugary cereal, crumpets or pancakes at the weekend. They’re now 14-17 and I’m just grateful they’re eating breakfast of any description.

It varies in our house; fruit, porridge, toasties, scrambled eggs, muffins, yoghurt, and milk or fruit juice to drink.

I very often witnessed primary age children walking to school eating crisps or chocolate and drinking a can of pop. The parent(s) usually had a can of Monster in one hand, and a ciggie / vape in the other. 🤦‍♀️

This feels like a stealth boast. Well done you for avoiding sugary cereals and teaching your daughter to cook. Shame on the rest of us for relying on whatever is easiest

Me and dc1 (13) - yogurt and fruit
Dc 2 (15) prefers sleep
Dc 3 (18) protein bar and banana as runs out the door as also prefers sleep

I’m impressed your eight year old is making egg, bacon and toast. Is she using a frying pan?

Croissants/pains au chocolat/pains aux raisins

natural yoghurt with chopped fruit

wholewheat toast with nut butter

porridge

weetabix

on weekends we might have pancakes or waffles instead.

DS has SEN so has a bowl of coco pops everyday then a croissant on the way then has toast at breakfast club. Just his routine now

Toast and yoghurts on weekdays here and weekends my husband likes to make a cooked breakfast. I’m not a breakfast eater though.

Jam/marmalade/marmite/cheese on toast/crumpets/english muffins/croissants.

Waffles and syrup if I'm feeling fancy. Usually in holidays as less rushed.

Non sugary cereal like weetabix, porridge, shredded wheat with warm milk at this time of year cold milk in summer.

Yoghurts, fruit and fruit juice freely available along with tea/coffee and cocoa.

Porridge
overnight oats
wheatabix
dippy egg
bananas pancakes

Porridge and/or brown toast with peanut butter, Shreddies or Weetabix usually, during the week. Maybe a cinnamon bagel if we have them. Tea, water or watered down juice to drink. Of course, my eldest might go to the shop on his way to school and I wouldn't know! But at least he had something decent to start with at home...

My DCs have breakfast at school. We are in the US, and our state maintained free school lunches for all students, but our school also offer morning breakfast club for all students too.
The menu varies - some days it’s cereal and toast, sometimes it’s sausage and egg bagels (my kids favourite!), pancakes sometimes.
Theres always fruit and yoghurt available every day

Weetabix or porridge, pancakes, fruit and yoghurt here. We are far from perfect as I have two fussy eaters, but we would draw the line at a chocolate bar or ice cream for breakfast.

However, I have to say that my dh was raised with far less home cooking from scratch and he is really slim and healthy. I was raised on home cooked, healthy everything and am always battling to not gain lots of weight. There's no justice I tell you!

My 5 year old son has porridge with honey most mornings. Occasionally, it is mixed up with an omelette on weekdays and pancakes at the weekend.

It varies, sometimes egg on toast, pancakes, halwa puri, today it was half a pack of oreos.

eggs and sourdough/other home made bread, plus fruit/nuts
older one has green tea with fresh mint and ginger, and younger one has milk

or porridge with nuts and berries
or avocado on home made bread
very rarely Bircher muesli soaked overnight

or natural yoghurt and berries/nuts granola

I have got to say despite a hearty wholesome breakfast mine were all starving at primary if relying on school dinners. Especially last year - we are London area so free school meals for all. Half the class seemed to have switched to packed lunch as it just was not enough food for the kids and little to do with what breakfast we serve them or not.

Toasted fruit loaf with apricot jam and water to drink or fresh orange juice if we have it. We often do wholemeal toast with jam or marmalade or crumpets with jam maybe with a banana or yoghurt if he's still hungry. When DS was younger he had porridge every day. At the weekend it may be a cooked breakfast or pancakes.

Eggs, yes. Bacon? Does your 8 year old do that? I call bullshit frankly.

Mine used to have porridge or toast with ham and cheese and a bit of fruit. Sometimes weetabix or shredded wheat or wholegrain malties

Weetabix, Porridg or Greek Yoghurt -all topped with fruit, honey and seeds. Sometimes a piece of toast, sometimes scrambled or Chucky eggs. Always with cups of tea!

We have egg on toast most weekday mornings, my youngest doesn’t like egg every day so sometimes has yoghurt and granola or a croissant/jam sandwich
