Helpful Hints:
|
This colorful, delicious breakfast is so inviting, it may become a morning "must-have!" But no need to worry about the same old breakfast -- there are many different combinations of yogurt, fruit or cottage cheese you could choose, and they will all be popular and nutritious. For example, if melon is in season, try cantaloupe cubes instead of pineapple. Grapes could top the cereal, or fresh or frozen berries. Different cereal toppers will create different flavors and textures. Let your children choose their favorite fixings - and watch how breakfast disappears!
 |
Safety Tip:
|
It is important to remember that some foods can cause choking in a very young child. Be sure that fruit pieces are very small and soft for a toddler -- avoid grapes, chunks of pineapple or melon. Instead, your toddler might enjoy canned fruit cocktail on his breakfast banana split!
