Hi! I’m looking at the magic spoon cereal, and it still has so many unnatural products in it.. I’m just curious how you square this with your other super natural and healthy recommendations.

Love your site! I’m a grandma who has Celiac and have been eating Paleo AIP for years now with reintros. It’s not easy getting the rest of the family on board. Love your ideas for getting kids involved with the process and the wonderful breakfast/back to school lunches. Koodos to you!

Thank YOU! I love all of your recipes! Your cookbook is one that I actually use at least twice a week. Thank you for making it easier to eat healthy. Also, we had Good Culture in our Costco for a week, but I haven’t seen it back. 🙁 I’m praying it makes a comeback, so we can try that cheesy egg casserole. God Bless!

For a great breakfast drink or energy drink i discovered Fruit of the Earth berry flavored Aloe Vera drink. it is hydrating low in calorie energizing,and better than Kool -aid because all the sugar low content is from the berry and low in calorie.

In reply to Rox. The oven omelet! I sometimes put them in muffin tins for even easier transportation.

Wellness Mama, which is the recipe for the “muffins” in the first picture?

In reply to Mel. Not the worst. Not very nutritious either.

In reply to Carmen. Rolled oats/steel cut oats are always great options, right now my kids eat their mixed with juice plus complete and we also include different fruits and chia, flax, or hemp hearts into the mix. instead of trying to think of all sorts of new breakfast foods(because kids love a routine), it's always great to just really bump up the nutrition by adding to what they already know and love. changing them at a cellular level will bring about natural cravings for other foods. but be consistent at offering small amounts of new foods all the time, it can take up to 20x to develop a taste for something new. shakes and smoothies are great ways to incorporate more as well!

In reply to Sara. 1 tbsp fresh ground flaxseed +2 1/2 tbsp water. mix together and let sit for about 15 min until it starts to gel. it may take a little longer. this is the equivalent of 1 egg. Chia seeds are great egg replacers too.

I have been giving my kids steel cut oats for breakfast every morning because 1. I thought it was super healthy 2. It’s cheap 3. It’s easy.

Now I’m super confused. Steel cut oats are NOT a good option?! 🙁

In reply to Laurie. My son has an egg allergy, as well. How would you go about substituting flax (is there a certain amount per egg in the recipe)? Thanks!

I am having the toughest time finding healthy breakfast ideas for my 2 year old. She hates eggs! I need something different that I can make her other than oatmeal everyday. Do you have any suggestions for my picky little eater? She’s not really picky, she just doesn’t like eggs in any fashion.

In reply to Megan.

do you know if your son allergic to corn or soy? Most eggs organic or not are from chickens raised on soy and corn among other grains. It’s just something to keep in mind when looking for eggs to buy.
some other options i use for breakfast are pancakes(grain free of you like) and use chia or flax as an egg substitute(great for their energy and attentiveness). I freeze pancakes and waffles in advance so that I only have to pop them in the toaster. Same with muffins. I’ve found kids eat anything you call a muffin. It’s just making time one day to make a batch and freeze in advance. Breakfast cookies are another alternative and you can really load them up with filling ingredients and low sugar content. I think kids enjoy more of the texture of certain foods than the actual taste. Oatmeal is a great option and you can make it do many ways.some days I do it savory for my little girl(11 month now) and she enjoys it with some quality unrefined sea salt and fresh black pepper like it’s grits. Best of luck with your little boy and just know that you know his needs best and are doing an awesome job because you are taking the time to discover what he need and what’s healthiest for his body.

I really want to stop feeding my son so many processed foods. He has an egg allergy….so our breakfast options are somewhat limited. Do you have any suggestions for high protein healthy breakfasts that don’t include eggs? He is 18 months.

I want stop serving my kids cereal for breakfast starting tomorrow. However, we are already super short on time in the morning so I’m wondering if just two eggs and fruit will be filling enough for kids?

What about “power bars” made with nuts and fruit, like the one’s on Elana’s Pantry blog? Too many of your breakfast ideas consist of eggs, which can be tough if your child develops or has an egg allergy. Not that eggs aren’t really good for you. I know my kiddo has tons of allergies, so I have to be so careful to rotate his foods.
