Healthy Breakfast Ideas

It’s always a good idea to have a healthy breakfast in the morning. So whatever time your family has in the morning, here are some ideas for morning fuel!

Busy Mornings

These ideas are perfect for busy mornings, but they’re also nutritious so they’ll help you to concentrate and learn at school.

With the help of your parents or carers, try making some overnight oats the night before school. All you need to do is mix the oats with milk, cover them and chill them in the fridge overnight. The next morning, they’ll be ready to tuck into – delish! To make them more tasty try adding mashed banana, cinnamon, berries or a healthier peanut butter!

There’s also nothing wrong with good old toast in the morning. Just make sure you use wholemeal bread and top your toast with healthier options, such as mashed avocado, banana, peanut butter or scrambled eggs (if you have a little more time).

Slow Mornings

When it’s the weekend or school holidays you might have time to be a little more adventurous with your breakfast.

Breakfast burritos are a great way to start the day. Just ll a wholemeal wrap with things such as eggs, avocado, tomatoes, beans or spinach. You could even try adding some different herbs or spices to mix things up a bit.

Smoothies are great for getting plenty of fruit into your body and there are loads of variations to try. Mango and banana is a great combination and so is strawberry and banana. Just chop up the fruit and chuck it in a blender with a splash of fruit juice until the mixture is smooth.

You might have noticed that the photo on the left is from someone that’s a little bit older than our usual pro les. That’s because we want to tell you more about some of the people behind Right Tracks – some new upbeat, popstyle songs from The Salvation Army.
