Cereal, in particular, is a “breakfast partner”, according to opinions in the Kellogg survey. Not only does it help to jump-start a child's nutritional intake, it is also a family meal that doesn't break the bank. Here are a few tips to make your breakfast time an important daily event: Plan in advance: On average a parent will spend 20 minutes each morning making breakfast.Save time by setting the table and putting out the boxes of cereal the night before.
Make it a family activity: Ask your children to help with breakfast preparation. It fosters togetherness and encourages healthful eating. Mix it up: A wide variety of cereals will make each morning more inspiring, and more fun. Be sure to include kid favourites like Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Kellogg's Mini-Wheats cereals. There's no need to sacrifice good taste for nutrition when you can have both—and for even more nutrients without a lot of fuss, add berries or bananas to the bowl.
