To wonder what your kids eat for breakfast before school

[DancyNancy]

Following on from a thread where a mum found herself in a pickle and had to give a snack based breakfast....and MN posters felt a banana and a granola bar was deemed a horrifically inadequate quantity of breakfast I'm really curious to know what people's kids eat in the morning.

My lot are aged 9-12yrs.

2 out of 3 are often not hungry first thing but I insist on at least milk.

One always has cereal or porridge
One of the inconsistents has a glass of milk and then possibly a bagel or pitta with peanut butter
One will have milk and might have natural yogurt, or bagel, or banana with peanut butter.

They have 2 breaks in school so eat at 11 & 1, and then again at home around 3:30.

To me a banana and a granola bar is quite a hefty breakfast, and equates quantity wise to a bowl of cereal or porridge 🤔

I don't understand the horror response to that as a breakfast...... enlighten me??

Before school my daughter has toast/croissant/bagel with fruit (sometimes grapes, sometimes an apple, sometimes a banana), sometimes a yoghurt. VERY occasionally tofu scramble or banana pancakes, if I've prepped the night before.

8YO twins.

Today, twin 1 had 2 weetabix, weak blackcurrant squash to drink.
Twin 2 had 1 weetabix and a hard-boiled egg. Squash to drink.

Pre-teens here. Crumpets, hot x buns, bagels, cereal or porridge with grated apple. Sometimes something involving bacon and eggs. Sometimes pancakes if time. Always whole milk to drink.

Toast, porridge, cereal, fruit, yoghurt - any combination of these. As a treat we sometimes stop at the co op on the walk to school and get a pastry.

Weekends I will offer things like bacon, eggs, pancakes - often they just want Nutella on something!
