Healthy breakfasts ideas for the toddlers aged between one and three years
Any mother will tell you that feeding your child healthy and well balanced meals is one of the most important tasks of parenthood. Breakfast is not just a meal – it is the base to power up their moving bodies and growing brains. The one-to-three-year age group is fascinating one as they needs foods with high energy, nutrient dense and palatable to match their active energy level. In this case, developing and implementing the creative styles of preparing healthy recipes which contribute to the positive relationship of food choices with my child have been done from personal experience. Here are some peculiar but very nutritious ideas of what may be offered for breakfast that children definitely like.
1. A lot of times, oatmeal for breakfast with fruit and nut butter
Ingredients:
- Rolled oats
- Milk or water
- Fresh fruits (preferably bananas, strawberries or blueberries).
- Nut butter (almond or peanut)
- A dash of cinnamon
Instructions: Prepare the oats following the instructions on the packet; either with milk or in water? When it is time to blend, add a spoon of nut butter for thickness, health, and flavor boost. Lastly, you should garnish it with newly prepared fruits and a pinch of cinnamon for some more taste and nutrients. You can see how this meal is replete with fiber, beneficial fats, and vitamins.
Tip: In order to maximize the acceptability by toddlers, for example for a picky eater, I can mix a spoon of nut butter to the oats so that it will have a smooth surface which children love to chew on.
2. This recipe is the Greek Yogurt with Homemade Fruit Jam;
Ingredients:
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Fresh – berries (especial for make jam at home)
- Honey (optional)
- Homemade granola
Instructions: Blend new berries and, actually, boil them with only adding a little water and without any sweetening!. This homemade jam is best served on a simple low fat greek yogurt. Finally, it’s optional to drizzle honey for sweetness before garnishing with more homemade granola. Probiotic bacteria present in Greek yogurt add to digestion and homemade jam serves as a natural sweetener.
Personal Twist: I tried experimenting with different fruits for the jam—mango and peach turned out to be a hit!
- Eggs
- Milk
- Spinach or kale (chopped to fine)
- Sweet potatoes (diced)
- Olive oil
- Whole wheat pancake mix
- Small pear-shaped fruits such as strawberries, blue berries and all the rest.
- Honey or maple syrup to drizzle all over the fruits, though you only need a nugget of it to sweeten up the entire dish.
