What healthy breakfasts can I throw at the children?

School mornings are a rush in my house and yes, I know I could get up earlier, lay uniforms out the night before etc and lovingly boil them an egg each. But the reality is that most days we are all grabbing toast at best and chocolate muffins at worst Blush and running out the door.
What can I give them that is healthy, oh, and cheap?

Sorry, rogue "1" in there...

Toast is fine - how about seedy bread and with peanut butter? Good oils in there. Or banana on it. Real butter and full fat milk (good fats and protein).

Toast definitely better than any cereal.

Porridge is quick - again, full fat milk, cinnamon sprinkled over, banana sliced on top?

Cream cheese bagel for one, peanut butter for the other. Repeat for as long as the formula works.

Am glad to have spread the lime pickle love. My mum started me off with mango pickle but I think this works better.Grin

Ready brek and honey

Right toast it is. I shall invest in some nicer bread, bagels and a massive jar of peanut butter forthwith.
And for a change the yoghurt I think, with fruit.
A new microwave for winter would be good. I love porridge.

Good stuff. Go for a gentle and manageable improvement. Grand plans for breakfast all too frequently misfire. I know whereof I speak.Grin

nutella on top of the almond butter on toast is amazeballs. My son has that every morning.
