London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2012 -- Home made granola is delicious and the smell of fresh granola out of the oven wafts is positively appetizing and super homely. A nutritious breakfast for children would include foods from at least three of the five food groups. The first food group is fresh whole fruit. Fruits can be sliced and added to a healthy breakfast cereal. It’s quite a delicious way to eat fruit too and children are more likely to eat fruit this way than on its own. You could also mix this with a sugar free bio yogurt. The key is to not sweeten this, as once the child’s palate recognizes the sweet taste; they tend to crave more of that. Keep sugars natural, avoid products with added sugar and don’t add sugar to their meals.
Vegetables make the second group of foods; you could disguise these into an omelet. Mushrooms, asparagus and green peppers are good options. Vegetables are harder to incorporate in meals during breakfast especially on week days so you can makes this over the week end. An omelet is a tasty treat for all the family. Use olive oil when cooking and make healthy cereals by avoiding cheese and using fresh herbs like chive for flavor.
The third group of foods are the mighty grains, Cereals for breakfast are perhaps the most obvious and preferred choice for most parents. Whole grains, dry cereal, bagels, English muffins, whole meal bread, flour tortillas and rice are some of the foods recommended. A break fact cereal for kids should be as natural as possible. Make sure you read the sugar content and select nutritious and whole wheat based breakfast cereals. Wheat biscuits with milk, and wheat flakes, oats and whole grains are ideal for a healthy nutritious start to the day.
So the next group of foods to consider is the milk group. Whether you choose low fat or fat free milk, yogurt or cheese, choose wisely. If your child is lactose intolerant, choose lactose-free products that still have the calcium and other nutrients needed.
So finally the last groups of foods are meat and beans. Lean meat, peanut butter and beans, lentils and pulse are very nutritious and provide a string foundation for children during the early years of their life. Pulses and lentils can be made into tasty soups.
When traveling and out and about keep healthy snacks with you like granola bars or muesli bars. This will develop the habit and is a much better substitute that candy, chocolate and sugar filled confectionery that offer no nutritional value.
Of course a treat is allowed now and then, but maintaining good habits from an early age helps prevent other heath issues later and provides a good start for your child.
