Breakfast for the whole family: 5 options

“A good break­fast is a great deal!” J.K. Jerome wrote. And we com­plete­ly agree with him! Put togeth­er deli­cious food, great mood, the clos­est peo­ple at the table — and you will get the best start to the day in the world. What should it be like, the per­fect break­fast for the whole fam­i­ly? Here are 5 of the best options that take into account both taste and ben­e­fits.

Nutri­tion­ists tire­less­ly say that break­fast is the most impor­tant meal of the day, and you should nev­er skip it. In prin­ci­ple, each of us is ready to agree with this, but it can be so dif­fi­cult not to lim­it your­self to a cup of cof­fee on the run, because there is always so lit­tle time.

Espe­cial­ly if you are part of a large fam­i­ly, and your duties include not only cook­ing, but also feed­ing — your hus­band, chil­dren, your­self.

We have put togeth­er 5 quick and mod­er­ate­ly sim­ple break­fast options for the whole fam­i­ly. They will help save you morn­ing time, because you can serve such a break­fast to both an adult and a child — and we hope every­one will like it!

What does a proper breakfast include?

A prop­er break­fast is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Accord­ing to the undis­put­ed author­i­ty of Dr. Komarovsky,

“The ide­al break­fast is a com­bi­na­tion of pro­tein and car­bo­hy­drates.”

A good source of pro­tein is:

• eggs,
• meat, espe­cial­ly chick­en and turkey,
• sea ​​fish,
• soy,
• yogurt,
• milk,
• cot­tage cheese,
• legumes,
• wal­nuts,
• green leafy veg­eta­bles.

More­over, nutri­tion­ists strong­ly rec­om­mend alter­nat­ing the prod­ucts from which we get pro­tein in our diet. After all, not only the amount of pro­tein in grams is impor­tant, but also the source: in dif­fer­ent foods, pro­tein is com­bined with a dif­fer­ent set of macro- and microele­ments, vit­a­mins, amino acids. And it is also worth remem­ber­ing that pro­tein can be veg­etable and ani­mal, and these two types com­ple­ment, but do not replace each oth­er.

Car­bo­hy­drates should also be cho­sen care­ful­ly. Slow ones are con­sid­ered use­ful, that is, those that the body does not absorb instant­ly. These include most cere­als, as well as fresh veg­eta­bles and fruits, choco­late, cocoa.

How to make a healthy breakfast delicious?

Often par­ents are faced with such a prob­lem: the child knows per­fect­ly well what foods are good to eat for break­fast. But he refus­es, because he sim­ply does not like it. To be hon­est, many even in adult­hood eat use­ful­ness with a creak, but nutri­tion­ists have long found a direct con­nec­tion: it turns out that only what was eat­en with plea­sure brings ben­e­fits to our body!

We offer you an orig­i­nal way to add fla­vor to chil­dren’s break­fasts! Meet: mega-choco­late nov­el­ty from Start! called Cocoa pics. These are grain fig­ures in the shape of boats that will appeal to both chil­dren and adults.

Any fussy eater will be hap­py to eat milk, yogurt, cot­tage cheese or even oat­meal for break­fast, if you sup­ple­ment them with Cocoa pics from START! Crispy fig­urines from START! con­tain nat­ur­al cocoa, so your kids will sure­ly love them. Well, moth­ers will appre­ci­ate the high qual­i­ty of the prod­uct, which does not con­tain arti­fi­cial preser­v­a­tives and dyes.

Com­bine these recipes and add some­thing of your own — this way you can think over the menu for the fam­i­ly right away for the week ahead and please every gourmet, young and old.

Bruschetta with chicken and avocado

This clas­sic dish of Ital­ian folk cui­sine has hun­dreds of vari­a­tions and is found in the diet of many peo­ples of the world. Not sur­pris­ing­ly, toast­ed bread, sup­ple­ment­ed with var­i­ous ingre­di­ents, is a great option for a sim­ple and hearty break­fast.

For cook­ing you will need:

• whole grain bread, baguette or cia­bat­ta
• boiled chick­en breast (fil­let) — 1–2 pcs.
• avo­ca­do — 2 pcs.
• cucum­bers or toma­toes — 2 pcs.

For sauce:

• hon­ey — 1 tsp
• soy sauce — 2 tbsp.
• mus­tard — 1 tbsp.

Cook­ing:

1. Cut the bread / baguette / cia­bat­ta into slices about 2 cm thick. Dry in a hot fry­ing pan with­out oil. Fry the dried slices in oil until gold­en brown.
2. Pre­pare the sauce: mix hon­ey, soy sauce and mus­tard. Brush the sauce on each slice of bread.
3. Cut the avo­ca­do and chick­en into slices, wash the toma­to or cucum­ber, dry it and cut into thin cir­cles.
4. Lay a chick­en slice next to each slice of bread. Top with a slice of avo­ca­do and a cir­cle of cucum­ber or toma­to.
5. Fin­ished bruschet­ta can be gar­nished with green or pur­ple basil. Enjoy your meal!

Oatmeal with almonds and berries

Oat­meal, sup­ple­ment­ed with fruits and nuts, will be a good break­fast for the whole fam­i­ly. You can use instant flakes — this will save a lot of cook­ing time. But nutri­tion­ists still advise using whole­meal oat­meal — it has more fiber and ben­e­fi­cial vit­a­mins.

For cook­ing you will need:

• cere­als
• milk (cow, almond or coconut)
• almond petals
• sea­son­al berries

Cook­ing:

1. Pour oat­meal with hot milk, cov­er tight­ly with a lid or tow­el and leave until swollen (about 30 min­utes). This method of cook­ing oat­meal helps to retain more of the ben­e­fi­cial ele­ments in the por­ridge.
2. Add sea­son­al berries to the fin­ished dish (it can be straw­ber­ries, blue­ber­ries, rasp­ber­ries, blue­ber­ries, etc.) and gar­nish with almond petals. Enjoy your meal!

This diet dish is very use­ful for the intestines and fig­ure! In addi­tion, chia seeds are high in cal­ci­um, mag­ne­sium, and omega‑3 fat­ty acids. Just 2 scoops of these won­der seeds can keep you from feel­ing hun­gry before din­ner. In addi­tion, reg­u­lar con­sump­tion of chia pro­tects against prob­lems with blood ves­sels and the heart.

In addi­tion, the prepa­ra­tion of chia pud­ding is just curi­ous to watch! Seeds placed in liq­uid quick­ly swell and turn into ready-made pud­ding in just an hour.

For cook­ing you will need:

• milk or unsweet­ened yogurt — 1 cup (about 200 ml)
• chia seeds — 2 tbsp.

1. Place chia seeds in a glass, pour over milk or yogurt. Leave in the refrig­er­a­tor for 1 hour (or overnight).
2. Before serv­ing, mix the pud­ding, adding hon­ey or jam to taste. Serve with nuts, dried fruits or fruits. Enjoy your meal!

Omelette with spinach

Doc­tors con­sid­er egg white to be a ref­er­ence for a per­son — it is best absorbed and brings max­i­mum ben­e­fit. So we sug­gest you include dish­es with chick­en or quail eggs in your morn­ing diet!

7. Fold the fin­ished hot omelet in half: put the remain­ing cheese and spinach on the bot­tom, cov­er the top. Enjoy your meal!

Fruit cottage cheese

This hearty break­fast com­bines taste and health. Cot­tage cheese will serve as an excel­lent source of pro­tein and fats, and sea­son­al fruits con­tain enough com­plex car­bo­hy­drates and a lot of vit­a­mins and min­er­als.

Espe­cial­ly this menu option will appeal to moth­ers whose chil­dren do not like cot­tage cheese in its pure form. With sweet fruits, it will be swept away in 5 min­utes!
