Breakfast On The Run

There's no doubt about it, breakfast is an important meal for both kids and adults. You can be a positive role model for your children when you eat breakfast. An adequate morning meal typically includes three or more items from these food groups: grains, fruit/vegies, milk products and meat/alternatives. We have come up with some quick and nutritious morning food ideas to suit your family's schedule. Combine these ideas with a piece of fruit, a carton of milk or tub of yoghurt and its ready ... set ... go!

Get A Head Start

Try these helpers to make mornings more manageable:

• Get organised the night before. Lay out clothes and take out dishes, plastic bags and non-refrigerated foods.
• To make more time in the morning, go to bed 15 minutes earlier and set the alarm 15 minutes earlier than normal.
• If you eat on the run, stock up on specially designed containers and plastic eating utensils.
• Keep your fridge and pantry stocked with a variety of nutritious on-the-run breakfast choices.
