1. Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

With the eye-catching pink color and sweetness, this smoothie bowl would be loved by your little one. In a blender, add the raspberries, bananas, yogurt, chia seeds, and milk and blend until smooth. Divide between bowls and top with granola and toasted nuts like almonds, walnuts, or cashews.

2. Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter Pancakes

Chocolate for breakfast? Yes, please! Every kid will love these yummy Choco pancakes. You can use pancake mix to save time. I'll recommend Betty Crocker’s Pancake mix. Stir the dry mix, egg, peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and chocolate chips together in a large bowl. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour three to four 1/4-cupfuls of batter on the heated skillet to form pancakes and cook until the tops bubble and the edges begin to crisp. Turn and continue to cook for about 2 more minutes, until both sides are golden brown.

3. Mexican Scrambled Eggs

In a medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk the egg white and yolks with 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix in the chips. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula every few seconds, to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium soft eggs. Serve with the greens and top with the salsa.

4. Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-hole muffin pan with 10 paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine the wheat bran, flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk, oil, and egg. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix to combine. Fold in the grapes. Divide half the batter among the lined muffin cups. Top each with 1 teaspoon peanut butter, then the remaining batter. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the jam with 1 tablespoon water. Just before serving, drizzle the jam mixture on the muffins.

5. Banana Cream Overnight Oats

This easy-to-make breakfast includes potassium-packed banana for sweetness, fiber-filled oats, cottage cheese for protein and bone-strengthening calcium. Place banana in a small bowl and microwave until softened, about 30 seconds. Add cottage cheese and mash until well combined. Add milk, oats, chia, and vanilla. Stir well, then cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Top with nuts or fruits whatever your child likes.

6. Fresh Fruit Yogurt

Mash the strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries in a large bowl. Add the yogurt and stir to combine. Taste for sweetness, and add honey or maple syrup if needed. Stir once more. Top with some caramelized walnuts or chocolate chips.
