"Skip breakfast? Why would I ever do that?"
Breakfast is just that—it's breaking the fast that your stomach had overnight. When you wake up in the morning your tank is on empty, and you need gas in the tank to fuel your day. And just like a high performance racecar, you need high quality, nutritious food for the best results.
The same goes for the littlest racecar in the family. Sure it's easy to pour a bowl of cereal, but most are laden with sugar and will have your child crashing before the first bell at school has rung. Kids should get a blend of complex carbohydrates, fiber and protein to run at their optimal performance. They'll be able to stay alert and ready for anything no matter what the day brings with these energy-packed breakfast ideas.
