The following Daily Dish is part of a series for National School
Breakfast Week
It’s not always easy getting your kids to eat breakfast as you’re
rushing to work and they’re rushing to school. Thankfully, breakfast
doesn’t have to be a big production. Here are a few simple ways to
set your kids up for a successful day.
Make breakfast the night before. Try a tasty South Beach Diet
recipe like Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups or a Sunrise Parfait.
For detailed recipes, log on to The South Beach Diet Online.
Keep the basics on hand. Nothing’s easier than a bowl of whole-grain
cereal and low-fat milk. Balance out the meal with a piece of fresh
fruit and a couple of strips of turkey bacon.
In an emergency, pack breakfast. If your child is late for school
(or is just stubborn!), add a breakfast food or two to his lunch
bag. Low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese are quick and handy choices.
Sign up for school breakfasts. All children who attend schools
participating in the School Breakfast Program are eligible to
partake in breakfast, regardless of income. Consult your
administrator to find out if your child’s school offers breakfast
for its students.
