Finding a breakfast that is kid-approved and nutritious is no small task. Mom of three and nutritionist Nina Bell offers her go-to high-protein breakfast ideas that keep her family going.
1. Pancakes Full with Protein
“Make your pancake batter Greek yogurt or protein powder,” Nina advises. Her ingredient of hidden nature is For peanut butter. “It gives children’s taste nutty, something they love.”
2. Muffins Made From Eggs
“These are muffin tray mini omelets,” Nina says. For a grab-and-eat dinner, she combines eggs, cheese, and vegetables. “Even my choosy eater enjoys the ones with ham and cheese.”
3. Overnight Oats Enhanced with Protein
The overnight oats Nina makes call almond milk, rolled oats, and a scoop of protein powder. She advises “top it with fruit or nuts for extra flavor.”
4. Bowl for Smoothies
Nina notes, “Smoothies are an easy win.” Her child-friendly preferred foods include vanilla protein powder, banana, frozen berries, and spinach. “Blend it thick and let the kids top it.”
5. Custom Breakfast Bars Made at Home
“I create protein powder, nut, and dried fruit laden oatmeal bars. For hectic mornings, Nina says, they are ideal.
Breakfast to Nina is about creativity and balance. “Kids are more likely to follow when they see you enjoying healthy food,” she notes.
