What do your kids have for breakfast if they won't do cereal?

[DrNortherner]

My ds is 8, loves cereals but strangely will only eat them before bed for his supper. He can't seem to face cereals or fruit for brekkie, unyet will at other times in the day....

Anyway, he has toast, brioches or croissant atm, what else could he have?

Boiled/ fried/ scrambled/ poached egg? French toast?

DD2 has a slice of wholemeal bread slathered with Nutella

ds has toast, plate of fruit, yoghurts, oatcakes and banana. OR combinations of the above.

mars bar and a packet of salt n vinegar crisps. Is what I used to have at high school, as I spent my money on ciggies.

just joking (sorta)

how about toast with peanut butter and banana, lots of slow release energy food? or yogurt with muesli? If he wont take anything at all milky, then just stick to what he has, it wont do him any harm.

nutella on toast or sandwich

yoghurts

wraps with cheese or ham

How about yoghurt/fromage frais, porridge/ready brek, museli/granola with yoghurt, or some kind of healthy bread/muffin type thing, like fruit toast, carrot cake, courgette and coconut muffin (sounds weird - you can't taste the courgette though)

dd has a banana and a yoghurt.
or strawberries,
or home made smoothie [smug domestic goddess emoticon] (ok I admit it is only banana and milk....)
Home made flapjack
greek yoghurt and honey

fish finger sandwiches. Sad but true

toast
fried egg sandwiches
brioche rolls
Cheese cobs

pain au chocolat/ waffles/ scotch pancakes/ eggs

DD is currently on homemade chocolate-banana muffins - high fibre, no added sugar.

They have to be hidden in freezer to stop DH scoffing them.

Interested in this.

Ds will not touch any food in the morning. He has hot chocolate before school. I feel guilty, but then again, I myself can't face food before 10am. At that time ds and I could demolish an entire breakfast buffet, but first thing in the morning... [heaving emoticon]

I don't especially like them having cereals everyday - sugary carb and no protein ...

Scrambled egg on toast
sausage sandwich
full english
poached eggs with ham.
Smoked salmon cream cheese bagel
cheese and tuna toast
cheese and ham wraps

Porridge, fruit, McVite's cheddars, toast, English muffins, crumpets and other bready things.

So just how bad is nutella for breakfast, really? He does love it.

I used to have nutella for breakfast. Essential nutrient in my book .

Peanut butter on bread is a fave with DS1 here. If I would give croissants every day, then they would be happily eaten.

DS2 currently happy with Weetabix/Porrige/Mini Shredded Wheat/Puffed Rice

I abhor all cereal, so I am a toast/porridge/croissant girl myself. Do love a hotel buffet breakfast though...

ooh I love a hotel buffet breakfast...

Bagel - plain toasted with Marmite or cinnamon and raisin with butter
English muffin - ditto
Plain old Marmite or Bovril on toast
Grandma's jam on toast
Cheese toastie, with a thin scraping of marmalade on a Friday
Dippy eggs with a platoon of soldiers - weekends only when there's time
Bacon sarnies - ditto
Scrambled eggs on Marmite toast - ditto
Milk brioche rolls

Actimel to drink. Low numbers only on the base of the container though, DS saves the high numbered ones for his lunchbox - has to beat his friends.

Toast/muffins (toasting kind)/crumpets/little pancakes/cereal without milk on schooldays. Might do scrambled eggs or french toast at weekend as a brunch.

gramercy - I give my ds's hot chocolate in the morning too - it's the only way ds2 will drink milk (and this is a child who still had bottles at the age of 3) and I figure if they don't eat much at least they have had some calories to keep them going.

Mine have raisin scones with butter, will sometimes have cereal but won't eat it with milk. I give them a glass of milk separately!

if its not a cereal day then mine have bread and honey - if its a weekend then eggy bread is the most popular...
