Re: Kids' breakfast


Depending upon how much of a hurry we're in, one of the following with
fruit juice:

scrambled eggs with toast
instant oatmeal with cinnamon and sugar
Mighty Bites cereal with no topping, or frosted Mini Wheats, or plain
Cheerios with a single spoonful of sugar
a Luna bar

I let the kids pick out their own cereals these days, but they must read
the nutrition label and our upper limit is 5g of sugar per serving. If
they get a higher-sugar cereal then they must mix it with a no-sugar one
(in the bowl). For example, 1/2 plain cheerios with 1/2 honey nut
cheerios. Absolutely no artifical colors allowed; they make one of my
kids a bit crazy.

My kids are older (10 and 12) but breakfasts haven't changed much over
the years, expect for the addition of Luna bars to the options.
