It’s easy to skimp on the good, nutritious breakfast that we all need to start our days off right.  That’s why Breakfast Breaks are so perfect for kids (and adults) who would otherwise skip breakfast: they’re good-to-go packs, each with a perfect portion of cereal (just add milk!) , a yummy and nutritious snack (such as a granola bar) and a juice box.  There are 4 cereal choices: Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, so you know there’s an option for everyone in the family.

I think these are perfect even for families who aren’t in a rush every morning.  The portable convenience of these little packs are great for streamlining the breakfast process, whether you’re sitting together at the breakfast nook each morning or if breakfast is a mad dash during the drive to school or work.  These are also great to take when going out with your little one. 

I find that Breakfast Breaks are amazing for distracting a cranky toddler (like littleQ when there’s no more chocolate soy milk when he wants some).. because hey, what toddler doesn’t like cheerios or any other easy to pick up cereal to snack on?  Plus, the juice box provided is made of 100% REAL juice, and not just sugary flavored water.  To top it all off, each pack comes with a spoon, a napkin and a wet-nap, which just seals the deal on just how convenient Breakfast Breaks are.  These are also a great alternative to a heavy lunch at school or at work, no matter what age you are.   If you’re at the office, just borrow a bit of milk from the coffee station for your cereal (sssh! lol).

Anyway, parents of school aged children should take note of all the resources and research available that points to the significant positive effect that eating breakfast has on not only children’s health (lesser chance of obesity) but their academic progress as well.  Studies repeatedly show that children who consume breakfast usually score better on tests and do better in school.

After you check out the links that point to all the good eating breakfast can do for a school-aged child, you’ll be more than convinced that Breakfast Breaks are great for more than just the convenience– they’re great for keeping your child on track: with their health and academically.
