Breakfast

Nutritionists say that this is the most important meal of the day. Although this is the one meal kids least want to have on most school days, insist on serving it, even if it has to be “on the run.” What you eat for breakfast matters. Cereal (particularly whole grain types) with milk and fruit make a quick meal that offers an array of nutrients. A stuffed parantha. scrambled egg stuffed into half a whole grain pita pocket and topped with sandwich, idlis, milk and toast are some ideas for quick meal on those chaotic mornings.

Healthy snacks

After-school snacks can be a nutritious way to make sure children get the energy and nutrients they need to properly fuel their bodies and to ensure proper growth and development. Snacking can be part of a healthy diet if snacks are chosen correctly. It is another opportunity to incorporate needed food groups into the child’s daily diet.
