Between the morning rush of getting out the door on time and organizing schedules, breakfast isn’t always top of mind. However, it should be.

Our NorthShore experts note that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially for kids. Below are some healthy breakfast options to help fuel you and your kids throughout the day:

• Unsweetened Oatmeal
  Sweeten it with raisins, apples, blueberries, or a bit of honey.
• Eggs – Free Range Recommended
  Free-range hens that roam around eat grass. Their eggs will have more Omega-3s and nutrients. If you don’t have time to make eggs in the morning, make hard-boiled eggs the night before.
• Yogurt and Fruit
  Greek Yogurt has more protein, making it a good choice for a growing child. Be sure to read yogurt labels to watch out for added sugar.
• Whole Grain Toast
• Cereal
  Be sure to read the label, as health claims like “contains whole grains” don’t always mean it’s the best option. It’s best to eat cereals that have 5 or less grams of sugar per serving.
