I have a very fussy autistic ds13 and a dd11. I want to give them healthy cereals, but just seem to be on a merry go round of cornflakes, rice krispies, bran flakes, and shreddies! I avoid the high sugar ones, and they have gone off porridge (they used to have porridge in the winter but have stopped now). What do your kids eat that is healthy and filling in the morning? Thank you.

Eggs? Weetabix? Bixies?

My autistic dd isn't keen on breakfast cereals at all and prefers noodles - a normal breakfast item elsewhere.

For a quick breakfast boil the kettle, add a cup per person of boiling water to a pan with a sachet of miso soup (or paste/hot Korean paste even she likes, if you can find it) spinach leaves, ready to serve noodles (I buy in Asda), beat an egg per person in a boil hen tip into the boiling soup mix and swirl, top with spring onions. You can add mushrooms, use different stock, add fish sauce (my dd is veggie) - leftover fish in batter from the chip shop finely chopped and frozen can be added from frozen, or bacon bits are good.

We have had success with congee too. Otherwise it's omelettes here. My dd is an adult so mostly she makes her own breakfast ahem at 2pm!

I should add my favourite breakfast is rice and daal, mild prawn curry is another normal Indian offering and this sweetish carrot dish whose name I forget, i rarely have it now since moving but I used to buy Indian breakfast from the cafe near work sometimes where I used to live, and will eat leftovers always

My 13 year old usually has eggs in some form- he's had poached eggs and fried tomatoes on hash brown waffles this morning.

It would be healthier if the hash browns were homemade, but they're not!
