Here we go! Week 2 of breakfast planning and meal prep for a full week of breakfasts for my daughter!!! Absolutely LOVING this new routine. This is what my daughter chose to eat this week:
3 Days of “Crustless Egg Quiches”
The recipe below can easily be changed to suit whatever veggies and ingredients you have on hand. For fillings this on this particular batch, my daughter picked cheddar cheese, tomatoes, turkey sausage, and power greens. These were a great option because she could grab them from the fridge herself, put them on a plate, and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. I also gave her a little side of fruit each day that was easy to grab and throw on the plate: apples, strawberries, kiwi. Breakfast served in under 1 minute!
2 Days of “Green Smoothies”
To be honest, I wasn’t sure how these would go. My daughter goes back and forth with liking/disliking smoothies, but when she said OK on Sunday to have them I jumped on the chance to make them for her. Smoothies are a GREAT way to get a bunch of nutrients and vitamins into your kids with A. little effort and B. usually without them knowing.
To vary her two day options, I also let her pick the fruits I would make them with! Again, letting her decide what goes into her breakfasts allows less chance of complaining when its time to eat! You picked it, so you better like it! As it turned out, the smoothies were a hit! She didn’t even finish them because she said they were SO filling. Must be all the fiber and nutrients I packed in there!!! Another week of success!
