Balanced Brain-Building Breakfast on a Stick
I had the best time recently, chatting with Dr. Caudle and Dr. Ordon on CBS’s, “The Doctors,” about this breakfast idea! If your kiddos aren’t likely to eat a balanced breakfast in the morning, try serving it on a stick. This offers a novel way for kids to help “make” their own breakfast and feel involved, increasing the likelihood that they’ll eat what you serve. Just the idea of “food on a stick” is a fun reminder of being at a fair or amusement park, and this brain-building combination of foods in particular provides long-lasting energy that will fuel kids’ brains and bodies for hours rather than minutes, as well as a concentrated source of choline (from the egg) which is a key nutrient necessary for brain growth.
