Today i’m writing about how to make easy breakfast ideas for school teenage.In my experience, most of the schools (and this is also true for college) require you to bring for your breakfast. The same ideas for a great start of the day can work for teenagers. But when it comes to school, things get a little bit complicated. You have the choice to get up early and cook for your family or let them eat cereal and toast in a hurry before rushing out the door. The choice is up to you, but some easy breakfast recipes will certainly come in handy. I have always been the kind of person who has a plan for everything. I set my schedule 6 months ahead and know exactly what’s going on every hour of everyday. However, this is not always practical as far as a plan for easy breakfast ideas go – especially if you’re in a hurry.
Easy Breakfast Ideas For School Teenage
Breakfast may not be your teen’s favorite meal of the day, especially when they’re bleary-eyed and crabby at 6:30am on a school day.
But your teenager needs to fuel their morning, not to mention all the enormous growth happening. So if they’re burnt out on ideas, here’s tons of inspiration. And if they claim “But there’s no time!”, we’re going to make it easy.
What’s A Healthy Breakfast For Teens?
- Satisfying: Protein, fat, and fiber all help breakfast have staying power and last them until lunch.
- Bone-building: Teens have higher calcium needs in this intense period of growth and change. Sources like dairy and fortified non-dairy milk, yogurt, fortified OJ, fortified cereal, and cheese can help them get what they need.
- Fast & easy: Kids don’t have a lot of time on weekdays, so if it’s not easy (and preferably portable) it may not get eaten. Consider making breakfast items in bulk on the weekend. Ideally, have your teen help or even take the lead!
- Key nutrients: Teens need nutrients for the major growth and development that’s happening. Here are some they may be lacking, and some breakfast foods that contain them:
- Iron (girls): Fortified cereal, beans
- Protein (girls): Yogurt, beans, nut butter
- Folate (girls): Enriched grains, spinach, oranges, bananas
- Vitamin B6 (girls): Cottage cheese, chickpeas
- Vitamin B12 (girls): Milk, yogurt, smoked salmon
- Phosphorus (girls & boys): Yogurt, cheese, cashews
- Magnesium (girls & boys): Chia seeds, almonds, edamame, peanut butter
- Choline (girls & boys): Eggs, beef, beans,
- Fiber (girls & boys): Whole grains, oats, fruits and vegetables
