Back to School is on the horizon, and while many of us are thinking about school lunches, our kids also need to eat BEFORE they get to school, and if you’re anything like us, breakfast is just as big a struggle as figuring out what’s for dinner… not to mention figuring out a breakfast that’s healthy, and your kids will actually eat! I love using shortcuts for nutrient dense meals- and one of my favorite nutrient shortcuts for kids is using a kid-specific superfood blend to ensure they’re getting all the nutrients they need for a healthy and focused school day- without the mealtime struggle.
My and my kids favorite is the Amazing Grass Kidz Superfood blend. It’s packed with over 30 wholesome fruits and veggies providing kids with the whole food nutrition their growing bodies need and the amazing taste they’ll love– mixed into milk or water, or in these waffles they’ve asked for every week since I first created them!
Chef Tip:
- I love breakfasts that are easy to prep-ahead and heat up morning of– and these blender waffles fit the bill! Make them ahead, store in the fridge and re-heat in the toaster or toaster oven.
