What do your kids eat for breakfast?

Breakfast means to "break the fast" from an entire night of not eating. This means it's a very important meal and can set our mood for the entire day. In Ayurveda, if you skip breakfast, you could end up being irritable throughout the day. Breakfast should be on the lighter side to stimulate your digestive system. By the way, the heavier meal should be at around noon when the digestive fire is at full force. This is the time to eat heavier proteins and larger amounts of food.

My children typically have for breakfast:
  • Fruit
  • Toast with ghee (Trader Joe’s has a bread called California Style Complete Protein, which means that it has the same complete protein structure as does animal meat. Ezekial bread is another brand we recommend that is also a complete protein.)
  • a Vega Shake with a banana and almond milk.
I’d love to hear your healthy breakfast ideas.
