Work It Wednesday: Breakfast to go

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day BUT it is sometimes the hardest meal to have. Our mornings get crazy.  We have to get our kids ready, ourselves ready, and get everyone out the door and on their way.  All that, and we are supposed to whip up eggs benedict and french toast?  
No thank you!  This is why we lean towards sugar packed Pop Tarts, Toaster Strudels, and frosted donuts.  Sugar, sugar, and more sugar!  

Here are a few (quick) ways to get your little one the nutrition they need:

Mixed Fruit

Cut up chunks of strawberries, melons, pineapple, grapes, oranges, and blueberries.  Put in a kid friendly container and hit the road!  Make a large bowl on Sunday and divvy it out throughout the week.


Whole Wheat Bagel, Peanut Butter, with Bananas

Is there anything more delicious and nutritious?


Smoothies

Smoothies are a quick way to get a nutritious breakfast on the go.  Our favorite: Very Berry
Blend a banana, organic apple juice, and a handful of mixed berries.  Pour into a kid friendly cup and you're ready to start the day!

What are some of your favorite quick breakfasts?
