12 Sep Breakfast Needs

At back to school, it’s all about the kids and their needs.

They need new school supplies. New clothes. New shoes. They go to practice and activities. They need school lunches that are beautifully packed in a new bento box… and well balanced. Bedtime routines need to be implemented to do well academically. And, a good old fashioned, nutritionally sound, and filling breakfast is needed to start the day right.

This is all good and important.

But, you— the adult– should be left out of this.

A good bedtime is a great thing for you too. So is a new notebook or pair of shoes, if we are being honest. And, a good breakfast? You need that too.

Even if mornings are busy the protein in a good, balanced breakfast will keep you energized and less likely to need a snack at 10:00 AM. 

And, especially if mornings are busy, you need something handheld. My kids are big fans of anything muffin-like… including actual muffins. But, I prefer more protein and less carbs. (Unfortunately, my jeans prefer this too.) So, egg muffins are perfect. 

We made these super simple too, with some croissant crusts, diced up ham and cheese. You could add veggies and even fancy it up a bit with feta. Whatever works.

And, these most certainly work for a needed quick, healthy, on-the-go breakfast.
