What do your toddlers eat for breakfast?

finallyreilly

Mine have always had rice cereal and fruit, but since they have their teeth, I am wondering if we shouldn't switch to something else.  I tried oatmeal with fruit and they hated it.  They love dried cereal with a cup of milk on the side, but I was't sure that was enough.  I give them eggs and pancakes on the weekends, but I need something quick and easy during the week.

i think its enough. mine usually have a waffle w/ apple sauce on top + some fruit.  when i make pancakes or waffles, i make a huge batch and freeze them.

sometimes they have fruit, cheese and dried cereal.

we're going to do yogurt this week so that they can get more practice with a spoon but i am not looking forward to this at all.

Muffins, pancakes (frozen), waffles (frozen), bacon or sausage (precooked kind you just heat and serve), bread with honey or jam or nutella, fresh berries, breakfast bars (similar to NutriGrain bars, though he doesn't like that brand)... Yogurt is the default breakfast food in our house, though. He loves it

Random tidbit... Greek yogurt is much easier because of thicker/creamier consistency. I also let DS practice spoon skills with frozen yogurt. Great texture for beginners dS usually eats those yogurt tubes, which eliminates the mess

For breakfast, we usually offer; a fruit, a protein, and a grain.  B-fast usually looks like this:

a banana/apple/orange/grapes, an egg/yogurt/bfast meat, and 1/2 a waffle/bagel/e-muffin

DD doesn't always eat it all, but at least she gets a variety of healthy stuff to choose from.

Most mornings they get a toasted frozen blueberry nutragrain waffle and a banana. Otherwise we'll do whole wheat toast with strawberry cream cheese or yogurt. On the weekends we do french toast, eggs and pancakes. One of my favorite things to make for this is sweet potato pancakes. I just dump a jar of sweet potato baby food into the batter. They LOVE them.

blueberry waffle (frozen) and links of sausage (only one DD will eat the sausage), banana or a fruit cup, and a handful of dry cereal (Cheerios). I do give them small bowls of yogurt (messy but they're getting the hang of it) sometimes or a GoSqueeze (blended fruit puree that they can drink out of).

One DD will eat hash browns and scrambled eggs (DH usually makes this on the weekends).
