Oatmeal and Fruit
Skip the convenience of those sugary oatmeal packets and give them a hearty bowl of rolled oats with fruit and milk.

Throw in some sliced bananas, a handful of strawberries and a glass of milk for a well-balanced breakfast.

No-Cook Fruit Filled Pancakes

Warm these up with a small pat of butter and drizzle some sugar-free syrup on top, add some fresh or canned fruit, and ‘fold over’ the pancake to make a small wrap. Both Pillsbury and Aunt Jemima pancakes work well for this simple recipe.

Berry Smoothies and Toast
Whip up a fresh yogurt and fruit smoothie for a refreshing kick in the morning. Use lowfat vanilla yogurt as a base, then add bananas, strawberries, and a scoop of protein powder for a nutritious morning treat. A couple of slices of whole grain toast with jam can round out this healthy meal.
