Health tip: let the children prepare breakfast

(HealthDay News) – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it’s a good idea for kids to create their own nutritious start.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these ideas on what to include:

• A slice of whole wheat toast, served with a slice of cheese and 100% whole fruit juice.
• Milk with iron fortified cereal topped with banana slices.
• A tangerine with a whole wheat tortilla, bread or a peanut butter spread.
• Instant oatmeal topped with fresh fruit and milk, or cereal served with a scoop of frozen yogurt and fruit.
• A slice of pizza, leftover mac and cheese or spaghetti with a banana.
• Slices of cheese and apple between graham crackers or whole wheat crackers.
