Breakfast ideas for 2 year old - what is the least bad cereal after weetabix

[jdd0709]

Im sure this has been asked before but would be grateful to hear some current suggestions.

My ds 2 normally has weetabix then toast or fruit but I and him are getting a bit bored. At the weekend I do things like porridge, pancakes etc but weekdays are very rushed getting ready for nursery and work - we get up at the last minute in this house - so any ideas for anything quick and easy?

What is the next least bad breakfast cereal after weetabix and porridge? Are cheerios in any way healthy?

frosted lucky charms?
harvest crunch?

golden grahams! (wtf?)

Kelloggs Frosties (37.00 0.60 0.10 1.15) (red, green green, amber)

Jordans Natural Muesli (15.40 4.60 0.80 Trace) (red, amber, green, green)

Lots of the muselies have almost as much sugar. The swiss muselis are in general better (15-25g sugar compared to 25-36g). The Basics ones are better still. Sainsburies Basics is best I think.

Where do you shop cos that makes a big difference for most of these.

Shreddies have 15.5g sugar per 100g - which has just pushed into teh red (15g seems to be cut-off) - otherwise green/amber.

Kelloggs All-Bran Bran Flakes (22.00 2.00 0.30 2.00) Red, green, green, red. Kellogs was about the worst tho, some were amber on salt.

Nestle golden grahams (31.80 3.00 1.00 2.50) r, g, g, r)#

Kelloggs Fruit 'n' Fibre (25.00 6.00 3.50 1.50) r, a, a, r. All other brands amber on salt.

Couldn't find frosted shredded wheat, lucky charms or whatever they were or harvest crunch

what is the 38% one sms??

Oat Crisps (we call them little pillows)

Asdas version of sugard puffs were 55%

Quaker Oat Crisp (13.00 6.80 1.30 0.75) A, A, G, A

omg - i know a top knob at asda cant wait to tell him

I will stress that the report is dated July 2006...

lol ...really?!

Yes....

Sometimes I used to dunk nice biscuits in orange squash too.

Even now I can be partial to the occasional dunking of Jaffa cakes (still whole packet as a snake type 'meal'). I don't even like coffe to drink - so I tip half a cup down the sink when I have finished.

fab!

i read that report about how bad cereals were

so we gave up sugar puffs

i bought morrisons plain puffed wheat

ds 2.4 yrs spat across table and said they were pooey

made him porrige at the w/end with apple juice instead of milk (he asked me to buy it)

spat it out it was pooey

he just eats weetabix and toast with shhhhhhhhh nutella and loads of fruit

i thought the porrige was pooey too and the puffed wheat was like cardboard

think i'll start giving him pasty&chips for breakfast tomorrow

best cereal is wholemeal rice puffs from health shop totally 100 % wholemeal nothing else in at all, maybe you can add plain white yoghurt or fruit pieces you can get it at holland barret or tesco does a brand but always check label, careful for maltose fructose etc all types of sugars it must say 100 % wholemeal then a full stop.

porridge oats also excellent for their wee bodies. - you can add fruit pieces yoghurt or vanilla pods inside for natural sweeetness without crazy effects of sugars. or maybe honey.
