Breakfast?

OK so my five year old is going to school every day without having eaten breakfast It's not coz we're too poor to feed her lol, just that she refuses to eat anything. If I do manage to convince her to have something it's plain white toast with margarine and the crusts cut off so basically no nutritional value.

I've tried letting her choose different cereals in the supermarket but all that resulted from that is a cupboard full of half eaten Coco Pops, Cheerios and cornflakes packets, and I've tried making her eat fruit but she won't.

Any ideas for quick and easy breakfasts that she might eat? The gremlins usually have a banana and a piece of toast with marmite.

Maybe a really bad thought....and you can shoot me later
Our house always has up & go.....I do not know what age they are from sorry. Maybe check that out?

My Mum and Dad used to make me cheese toasties because I was a terrible eater. They'd make them with marmite and cheese in a batch and keep them in an airtight container, and then I could have them cold either for brekkie or morning tea. I know cheese is expensive, but if you grate it, it goes a lot further than if you slice it, and, because she'll be eating them cold you don't actually want too thick a layer of cheese. Kind of like a cheesy mite scroll from Bakers Delight, but toast

I was about to suggest smoothies too, that's what we have as neither DH or I are early breakfast people. You can add complan or vitaplan for extra nutrients or just use up&go or calcitrims for ease.

Grilled cheese on toast? Smoothie?

Nutragrain are great as snacks as well as breakfast cereal. My son's nana introduced them to him and he loves it still to this day.

Isla likes snacking on cherios or dry fuity bix She usually has a few in a little container while I make her breakfast!

Emma; Nyah is the same. I can just manage to get her to have lemon honey on toast, or I make a deal with her that we eat an apple on our way to school. 8/10 she'll go for that idea. The other thing is the strawberry chewy bars. She'll eat one of those as we walk out the door.

You might have to put something extra in her lunch box.

Those breakfast muffin things, or fruit toast! Mmmmm!

Nutella sandwich??

Ethan loves his "Chocolate" sandwich that he has every morning
