What did you have for breakfast this morning? Â The importance of a good breakfast cannot be underestimated whether you’re on a child or an adult. Â And especially if you are on weight-loss program like I am or wanting to lose weight.
Nutritional studies have proven that children who eat healthy, balanced breakfast get higher grades than those who don’t! Â They are more alert and focused. Â I know Rosie has better moods and is generally happier when she has eaten a good, balanced breakfast. Â What is a healthy, balanced breakfast consist of? Â Well the National Institute for Health says it “includes a variety of foods such as fiber-rich and whole-grain cereals with low fat milk; yogurt and berries; toast, eggs and 100 percent fruit juice; or whole wheat bagels and cream cheese with low-fat milk.”
For adults, it is just as important to start the day right by eating a healthy breakfast.  The Mayo Clinic says when adults eat a healthy breakfast, they’re more likely to:
- Eat more vitamins and minerals
- Eat less fat and cholesterol
- Have better concentration and productivity throughout the morning
- Control your weight
- Have lower cholesterol, which may reduce your risk of heart disease
- Plan ahead and set out healthy cereal, fruit, bowls and silverware the night before! Â Just grab the milk out of the fridge and you’re ready.
- If you love oatmeal (we do!) but don’t have time (or energy) to cook it in the morning, cook it the night before! Â Leave it in the pan, in the fridge and then just heat it up in the morning. Â Easy!
- Pack a to-go breakfast the night before. Â Make a “sack-breakfast” and take it with you.

WOW, that cereal looks DELICIOUS!
I really am not a fan of breakfasts, but I KNOW they are important. One of my favorites to make; that even my KIDS eat up and ask for seconds and thirds is our Kids favorite Oatmeal>/a>
