I personally have never had a problem eating breakfast in the morning. I would call it habit. I can remember as early as elementary school my mom being up way before us kids, helping us get ready for school and having breakfast ready. We weren’t big fans of cereal so we typically had waffles, pancakes or some sort of muffin with fruit. 

I know that some kids and adults struggle with eating breakfast and it is such an important meal in the day that I thought I would focus on how to eat breakfast while keeping it simple. As you may start seeing a trend, one focus of mine for 2016 is to keep things simple and simple breakfast is one of those ways.

Tips to Help Start Eating Breakfast

• Not hungry for breakfast? Pay attention to how much you (and your children) are eating for dinner the night before or any late-night snacks. Eating too much the night before can definitely decrease your appetite in the morning. Try cutting back on either your dinner or snack to see if you’re more hungry in the morning.
• Plan ahead: set out plates, bowls, silverware and fruit the night before, this way you’ll save time and be more likely to sit down since the prep is already done.
• Make breakfast family time: several nights my husband isn’t home for dinner time but he is around for breakfast. Eating breakfast as a family gives us the opportunity for conversation that we wouldn’t have any other time of the day.
• Provide simple breakfast options like the ones listed below that we love as a family.

Simple Breakfast Ideas

The following ideas I serve regularly in my house and always pair the main grain option with fruit (usually a clementine, apple or banana), low-fat yogurt or cheese stick and a glass of milk.

• One of my family’s favorite go-to breakfasts are belVita Breakfast Biscuits. These belVita Breakfast Biscuits provide nutritious steady energy all morning and contain no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors or artificial sweeteners.
• I make a huge batch of whole wheat pancakes and freeze half and put the other half in the fridge. This way all it takes is about one minute in the microwave to have a hot breakfast.
• I will make a large bowl of our favorite oatmeal the night before and reheat it in the morning.
• Over the weekend I will make this Easy Breakfast Casserole and just reheat it in the morning for a simple breakfast. 

belVita Breakfast Biscuits can be found in several varieties including belVita Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits and belVita Honey Oat Breakfast Biscuits in VALUE packs (15 packs in one box) or in a 5 package box), belVita Bites Chocolate Breakfast Biscuits, belVita Mixed Berry Mini Breakfast Biscuits, belVita Soft Baked Banana Bread Breakfast Biscuits, and belVita Soft Baked Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuits. I found mine at Target in the granola bar/crackers aisle.
