Your Children Will Love You For It
 
Breakfast #1 (Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich)
Quick, simple, full of flavor and extremely healthy.

Cut a banana in half (long ways) and spread each side
with a good amount of natural peanut butter.

Place the two halves back together (peanut butter is
GREAT glue) and wrap loosely in a paper towel.

Your kids can eat this little sandwich delight on the walk
or bus to school - it's completely transportable!
 
Breakfast # 2 (Eggo Roll-Up)
Toast a whole wheat Eggo pancake.
 
Spread generously with natural peanut butter (yep... I
love the stuff) and sugar-free jelly.
 
Roll up the pancake and wrap loosely in a paper towel.
 
Breakfast # 3 (Cereal Mix)

In the 'Natural Foods' section of any grocery store, you
are guaranteed to find a series of healthy, wholesome and
low sugar cereals.

Pick one or two that you know your kids would enjoy.

In a small baggie, add a bit of each cereal and round out
with some dried fruit (I like strawberries and apricots).

Once again, this little baggie makes for a perfect 'on the go'
breakfast that is both easy to make and very healthy!
 
Getting your kids off to the right start every morning is both
easy and rewarding.
