Fill Them Up

If your morning routine is working like a well-oiled machine, we salute you and your savviness. Seriously.

If you’re looking for some suggestions that will inspire your kids to eat a healthy meal beyond the cereal box—food that will stay with them and provide some good energy for whatever their day has in store—look no further than our 10 Back-to-School Breakfast Recipes.

For originality and presentation, try these Apple & Peanut Butter Stacks, a layered apple that’s filled with oats and peanut butter for added fibre and protein.

Who thinks of couscous for breakfast? We do, when you add delicious ingredients like fresh fruit (frozen works too), nuts and honey. The couscous can be made ahead of time (perhaps leftover from dinner), then all you need to do is mix in your favourite ingredients the next morning.

French toast is a classic breakfast favourite. Make it more fun and nutritious by cutting it into fingers and adding some yogurt sauce on the side for dipping. Note that French toast can be made in bulk ahead of time and kept in the fridge or freezer for quick heat-ups in the morning.

Nobody will be able to resist these amazing Pumpkin Quinoa Muffins—perfect in the morning or as a snack anytime. Fill these muffins with as much goodness as you can and your kids will love you almost as much as their breakfast.

We’ve got more great breakfast recipes in our gallery of 10 Back-to-School Breakfast Recipes.

We can’t promise that the right breakfast will make your morning routine go perfectly, but we can help you feel better knowing that your kids are starting their day off with a good meal.
