Healthy Toddler Breakfast Formula

It’s 5:30am.

You woke up to this tiny (and cute) human looking at you and asking for breakfast.

Coffee isn’t ready yet.

But you, you have to rally. Because if you don’ feed this cute little person things can go bad, and quickly.

As a nutritionist, I want to set my child up fro success. I just wasn’t to do it in a way that requires the least amount of (mental) work.

That is where the “Lazy-Mom’s Healthy Toddler Breakfast Formula” was created!

My “Type-A” heart skips a beat when I can create a “method” to manage all the madness.

Breakfast is referred to as “the most important meal of the day” and this is especially true for toddlers! Their little bodies have been asleep (hopefully 🤞🏻) for 10-12 hours so this is the meal that sets them up for their day. Which is why incorporating a high calorie food, healthy fat/protein, & fruit/veggie are so important!

1. Protein/ Healthy Fat:
Protein helps little bodies to grow and also helps to keep toddlers feeling satisfied longer. Fat helps for proper brain development and also helps to keep little tummies feeling full for longer. This means that those requests for snacks may be less frequent! 

2. Fruit/Veggies:
These provide the fiber, vitamins, and minerals toddlers need for immunity and proper development. And they just taste good!

3. High Calorie:
Carbohydrates are converted into energy the quickest. Meaning that they provide fast energy in combination with healthy fats/protein and fruit/ veg can provide long-lasting energy!

A majority of these items I will batch make and freeze (pancakes, waffles, mini quiche, French toast sticks) so that all I have to do is heat them up. Then add something from the other 2 groups and BAM💥 5-10 minutes of toddler entertainment while I make my coffee.

It’s the little things!
