Mornings can be a whirlwind—getting the kids out the door and ready for school often leaves little time for breakfast. Yet, a good, nutritious meal in the morning is essential for your child to concentrate and thrive in the classroom.

A great day starts with a balanced breakfast! We’re going to show you how to find the right mix of nutrients that will keep your child’s blood sugar steady and their energy levels strong.

Why It Matters:

✔ Steady Energy All Morning: When your child’s breakfast is low in high GL foods, their blood sugar stays steady. This means fewer mid-morning crashes, reduced dizziness, and a sharper focus on schoolwork.

✔ Improved Concentration: A balanced, low-GL meal fuels the brain steadily throughout the day—helping your child stay alert and engaged in their lessons.

✔ Better Sleep Equals Easier Mornings: We’ve found that children who eat nutritious food generally enjoy a better night’s sleep. When your child wakes up refreshed, they’re more inclined to eat a healthy breakfast, setting the tone for the day.

What You Need to Know:

✔ Swap sugary cereals for oats with nuts and berries or Greek yogurt with flaxseeds.
✔ Try scrambled eggs on wholegrain toast or nut butter on wholemeal bread.
✔ Smoothies can be a great option—just use protein-rich ingredients like Greek yogurt or nut butter.
