As moms, we are sure that you’re very familiar with the struggle of coming up with something for breakfast and later on getting your kids to actually eat before leaving for school. When it comes to breakfast, we think it’s always a good idea to stick to the classic cereal and milk combination. Here are reasons why this would be a really good start for you and your kid’s day:
- It’s backed by science. Researchers say that because of its fat content, milk coats cereal and keeps it crunchy for a longer amount of time, better than other liquids like tap water or soda1. Whether or not the first person to pair cereal with milk knew this, he’s obviously on to something because…
- …it just tastes better. There’s a reason we don’t pair cereals with apple juice (or olive oil, for that matter), and that’s because milk and cereal just tickles everyone’s taste buds in a way that nothing else could.
- It never gets boring. With so many things you could add to this classic combo, it’s impossible for you and your kids to get stuck in a breakfast limbo! From fruits to nuts to marshmallows, you can add practically anything to make your kid’s cereal bowl suit his taste. Better yet, guide him through the steps of making his own cereal bowl and let him add toppings so that it’s uniquely him!
- It’s easy. This meal is so quick to make that it even gives you time to sit down and bond with your kid over breakfast. Always a plus in every mom’s book, yes?
- It’s nutritious. Of course there are some gems in the cereal aisle! When scanning the shelves, opt for cereals made with whole grain and those that contain the nutrition your child needs.
