breakfast for 3.5 yr old

[Guest guest]

the only thing I can offer are the suggestions of what we eat for breakfast

here (I have a 3.5 yr old boy, and a 16 mth old girl)

 

*Whole grain pancakes (homemade or with premade mix from hfs) I usually

throw a few tbslp of ground flax and/or wheat germ in just to punch up the

nutrition..sometimes, a handful of frozen blueberries....and we use the earth

balance " butter/mrg " replacement to make sure they get enough fat....and/or some

jam.

 

*muscle muffin recipe with bluberries (from raising vegetarian children -

someone on this list told me about it!) with earth balance and or jam, peanut,

or almond butter

 

*toast with pb,ab, and applesauce or apple butter, also pumkin butter is a

huge hit here.

 

 

*I make smoothies by throwing in some vanilla soymilk, protein powder (I

really like spirutein or alive powders, since they have a ton of spirulina, and

other great things) and then I let my son throw in the frozen bananas or

strawberries, or blueberries, one by one, and then make sure I give them straws,

since they always drink anything with a straw! lol

 

* sometimes tofu pumpkin pie... heck, it's a veggie, a protein, and if you

use a recipe with blackstrap molasses, it's got iron.

 

*cereal and vanilla soymilk

 

* whole grain waffles

 

* quick breads -all different types... our fave at the moment is a pumpkin

prune bread... and then back to the " butter " , pb/ab/jam choices..

 

*hummous and pita chips.

 

my son usually does almost all the baking /mixing on these breads, which

makes him more excited to try them (of course , also adds hours to the

cleanup..lol)
