Breakfast – an important way to kick start your day. Starting the day off right with a well-balanced meal is more important than most people realize. Mornings can be busy –  preparing for the day and getting kids out the door. As a result, many skip over breakfast and wait until lunchtime to fuel their body.

Besides missing out on what could be a satisfying and delicious meal, this can be the cause of negative effects like fatigue, headaches, unnecessary cravings later and a lack of focus and energy to have a productive day.

It is equally, if not more important, for children to have a healthy breakfast before starting their day. According to EverydayHealth.com studies have shown that kids do better in school when they’ve eaten a well-balanced breakfast.
