Make sure your kitchen has breakfast foods such as whole grain cereals,
breads, pancakes and bagels, as well as low fat muffins, milk, yogurt,
fruit and fruit juices, eggs, peanut butter and cheese.
Get ready the night before by having the toaster, cereal and fruit ready
for the morning. If possible set the table with breakfast dishes so
everyone just has to sit down and eat!
Ensure to wake up a bit earlier to make time for a relaxed family
breakfast.
Make sure the entire family is involved in preparing the foods, choosing
the breakfast items and cleaning up.
