How is your October Unprocessed going? I feel it’s great to have a month to focus on consciously making better food choices. I’ve been enjoying experimenting with breakfast ideas for the kids – having been a cereal addicted family in the past, it’s refreshing to enjoy something different most mornings – and the kids are loving it too!
Here are some of the yummy Breakfast Ideas the kids (and adults!) have been enjoying:
- Homemade Fruit Yoghurt (Recipe below)
- Fruit Slices – strawberries, apples, bananas and oranges are all favorites at the moment
- Nuts – the boys are especially loving cashews
- Homemade Jam on fresh Sourdough Bread
- Breakfast in a Jar including homemade yoghurt, nuts and fruit
- Banana & Coconut Bread
- Eggs – the kids favorites are french toast or scrambled eggs
When it comes to yoghurt I like to make it myself to avoid artificial colors, flavors, additives and the addition of WAY too much sugar which are usually found in store bought fruit flavored yoghurts.
I make the Mango Yoghurt by starting with plain natural yoghurt, the type consisting of just milk and yoghurt cultures – no sugars, thickeners, colors, flavors etc etc etc. For this batch I used two cups of plain natural yoghurt.
To the plain natural yoghurt I add whatever fruit I have to hand – a couple of oranges or a punnet of strawberries for example. For the mango yoghurt I chopped up the flesh from two fresh mangoes and mixed them through the plain natural yoghurt.
I like to taste for sweetness and then add some maple syrup depending on the sweetness of the fruit. For the mango yoghurt I used two shallow tablespoons of sugar – but you could use more or less depending on the sweetness of the fruit and how sweet (or sour) your family like their yoghurt.
I turned this breakfast idea for kids into a Breakfast Muffin Tin Meal which I put together for the kids (they each had their own) – consisted of scrambled eggs, mango yoghurt and orange segments – a simple and delicious combination that they adored. I recently added some cute forks and spoons to my Muffin Tin Meal/Bento Supplies – they are the perfect size for little hands to feed themselves! Mr 2 loves elephants so the elephant spoon and fork proved to be a huge hit with him (The set also includes a set of rabbit, dog and chicken forks and spoons).

I’d love to hear from you. Please share your favorite Breakfast Ideas for Kids.
