    Default What do your kids eat for breakfast?

    Just out of curiosity, what do your kids have for breakfast? Our kids eat oatmeal every single morning and they have since they were babies. As the kids have gotten older (probably 3+ years old) they got tired of plain oatmeal, so we put some flavored cereals on top (cocoa puffs and cinnamon toast crunch are the current faves).

    I love that they eat the same thing everyday, because it makes breakfast a no-brainer.

    Eggos and then DH makes chocolate chip pancakes on Sunday. Not really nutritious but M can make it and it can be taken in the car.

    Virtually every single day, my kids eat:

    Older DD: 1 scrambled egg, 1 Jones light sausage link, 1 slice whole wheat toast, small glass milk

    Younger DD: Zbar and a cup of apple juice or soymilk Sometimes she eats toast instead. She is not a breakfast eater.

    I saw Zbars on sale at Target and thought they were a pretty good price. I haven't really looked at the ingredients, but they are fairly healthy, right?

    We do a rotation of things like: flax seed pancakes, frozen waffles, cereal, biscuits, toast and occasionally cinnamon rolls. My DC won't touch oatmeal or eggs.

    DS's daycare provides breakfast, so he usually eats there. He does often have a yogurt before he leaves the house. At daycare they have different things every day. Sometimes it's cereal or oatmeal, sometimes it's multigrain pancakes, sometimes eggs. DS really likes hard boiled eggs. They usually have fruit with breakfast every morning too.

    DD also eats a ZBar every weekday morning for breakfast, with a glass of milk. Sometimes she also eats a banana. She is not a big morning eater, at all.

    On weekends, when things are more relaxed, we'll On Sundays, we'll usually make eggs and toast, sometimes with turkey sausage or bacon, and fruit. She loves eggs, but just doesn't seem to want a hot breakfast on a day when we're up and out relatively early.

    Zbars are cheapest I've ever seen at TJ's. $ .69. Is that beatable? I think that's cheapest, right?

    DS fixes his own cold cereal most mornings. If I have time and he asks for it, he has oatmeal. Not big on breakfast here.

    I usually get them by the case at Costco or off of Amazon. Sometimes the deals on Amazon get freaky good for zBars. I am not recalling a per bar price but I think better than TJs. But if you want less than a case, TJs is the best price for sure.
