Porridge with blueberries and banana mashed in
Cinnamon porridge with ground flaxseed
Sourdough, peanut butter and jam

Youngest will sometimes have plain greek yoghurt.

Scrambled egg on toast

GameOfJones · 14/04/2025 14:47

My two like peanut butter and banana wraps. Spread a wholemeal wrap with peanut butter, mash half a banana onto each wrap with a fork, roll up and slice into pinwheels. Takes no time and fills them up with something nutritionally decent before school.

Interested in this thread?

Fav is: leftovers from dinner the night before.

Or

porridge with fruit
greek yoghurt fruit compote and granola (smashed nature valley bar)

Pancakes, bacon and maple syrup today but that’s a holiday breakfast for us. School days it’s porridge with frozen (defrosted) fruit, yoghurt fruit and granola or peanut butter and banana muffins made the night before.

Omelettes.

Homemade granola (weighed out porridge oats combined with 1tsp each of honey, peanut butter & vanilla essence, combined & cooked in air fryer at 180 for 5 mins) atop Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit.

Egg whites, lean bacon medallions on sourdough.

BarnacleBeasley · 14/04/2025 16:40

All the kinds of cereal we have in the house, mixed together, with whole milk.

youcannaecallherfanny · 14/04/2025 16:42

Coco pops

Sheknowsaboutme · 14/04/2025 16:49

DD coco pops
DS 4 slices of toast with brussels pate

SugarCookieMonster · 14/04/2025 17:12

School days:
Weetabix with milk
Porridge with a swirl of honey
Granary toast with butter or jam
Cereal occasionally (he doesn’t like cereal but every few months will decide to try it and eat 2 spoons before remembering he doesn’t like it)

Weekends/holidays:
Dippy Egg with soldiers
Hard Boiled eggs
Pancakes with fruit and nutella

Crunchymum · 14/04/2025 17:17

Porridge with berries on weekdays and cereal on weekends (cornflakes for one, alphabites for another and mini shredded wheat for the 3rd 🙄)

Special occasions - so birthdays and Christmas - I let them have chocolate brioche or Nutella on toast etc.

They have plenty of junk so I at least try to start the day healthy.

A lot of what is mentioned here for breakfast is what I'd serve for lunch (omelette / scrambled egg / avo on toast)

DD coco pops
DS 4 slices of toast with brussels pate

This one made me smile, that's two very different kids!

Mine like porridge and berries or crumpets, or peanut butter wrap and apple slices.

anothercookie · 14/04/2025 17:42

Smoothies - frozen fruit, banana blitzed with Greek yoghurt, oat bran and protein powder and milk

potato waffles and beans
hot cross buns, crumpets, toast
Avacado on toast
cheerios
scrambled eggs and beans

tedcherries · 14/04/2025 17:42

Porridge is a favourite at the moment with the younger sec (3), with a variety of mix ins. Cinnamon and banana is a winner.

scrambled eggs on avo sourdough with eldest dc (13).

YesHonestly · 14/04/2025 17:48

DD - Frube, cheese cubes and a cup of tea. (ASD with very limited diet)

DS - Greek yoghurt, fruit, and nuts, or a muffin and banana. On a Sunday he has bacon sandwiches.

I like those egg cup things with veg that you cook in a muffin tin. Really quick and easy and you can add whatever you want to the mix. They last a few days too.

TeflonMom · 14/04/2025 17:51

Oat, banana and coconut oil flapjacks. Just mix a cup of oats with two bananas a a couple of tablespoons of melted coconut oil, roll into biscuit shapes on greaseproof paper and bake for 14 minutes

banana pancakes- just banana and egg mixed together and fried

justkeepswimingswiming · 14/04/2025 17:54

Scrambled egg on toast.
bacon sandwiches.
fibre bars, weetabix, pitch bars or cereal usually on a school day.

GingerLiberalFeminist · 14/04/2025 17:58

DD is 2 and starts the morning with a banana then has cereal and toast and may also have scrambled eggs and grapes wirh DH and I. Sometimes augmented with crackers.

Remember what Liz in motherland said - don't ask your kids what they want - just stick it in front of them! 😆

Myengagementring · 14/04/2025 18:29

Fruit and yogurt followed by a bowl of cereal. Hungry 12 year old boy!

SleeplessInWherever · 14/04/2025 18:34

Porridge, toast, sometimes lasagne.

AmazingYou · 14/04/2025 18:40

Protein yogurt and protein granola with fruit bits. If I wrote “protein” on the dog’s forehead he’d probably eat him too. We’re going through a protein heavy phase.😅

TropicofCapricorn · 14/04/2025 18:45

In a sort of rotation, 5yo DD has;

Omelette or dippy egg with buttered toast
Porridge
Pasta and pesto (occasionally)
Plain yoghurt and berries
