Why we want a healthy breakfast for our kids!
Starting your children’s day off with a balanced meal is a great way to make sure they are ready to take on the day!
Providing them with essential nutrients like protein, fibre, fats, and carbs will ensure they will be bringing their best and brightest selves to school.
This graphic shows why we want to give our kids the best possible start for their day:
Here are a couple of ideas from our Holistic Nutritionist:
English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas Ingredients: 1/2 cup Egg Whites
1 tbsp Water
1 1/2 cups Baby Spinach
2 English Muffin (sliced in half)
2 tbsp Salsa
1 oz Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
Directions:
1. Add the egg whites to a cold saucepan. Place over low to low-medium heat and stir continuously with a heat-safe spatula until fluffy and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
2. Heat the water in a pan and add the spinach. Cook for about one to two minutes or until wilted.
3. Top the English muffin slices with spinach, scrambled egg whites, salsa, and mozzarella. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Enjoy!
