(NC)-You know the saying - breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is especially true when applied to your child who is heading out the door to school. Research has shown that children who eat breakfast perform better at school, have better behaviour and are more attentive than those who skip breakfast.

Breakfast doesn't have to be complicated, time consuming or make your feel uncomfortably full. Here are some light, quick ideas to start the day right. For balance, choose at least two items, one from each box.

Breads and Cereals

• Whole Grain Cereal • Whole Grain Toast • Whole Grain Bagels

• Toasted English Muffin • Soda Crackers • Baby Sized Muffin

Tip: Many children do not get enough whole grains. Choose whole grain bread and cereals more often. You can learn more online at www.areyougettingenough.ca.

Fruits or Veggies

• Half a banana • Small Clementine • Handful of grapes

• Apple Wedges • Baby Carrots • Celery Sticks

• Blueberries • Strawberries • Cucumber Rounds

Tip: Serve a little veggie dip with the veggies or yogurt with fruits.

Protein Foods

• Yogurt • Grated or cubed cheese • Milk on cereal

• Peanut Butter • Nuts or seeds • Sliced cooked cold cuts

Tip: Adding a little protein to a breakfast will help your child feel full for longer and provide an important nutrient for health and growth.

Serve very small amounts if your child has a small appetite. A large serving can be overwhelming first thing in the morning. Help your child do the best they can at school with a healthy breakfast.
