We don’t do cereals as they are very processed and high in sugar. Our kids have once per week in the weekend wheetbix or overnight soaked oats and for the rest we do lots of vegetable pancakes , banana pancakes, vegetable muffins or scrambled eggs on homemade toasted bread.

we are big on the weet bix! the kids just love it especially with banana or strawberry

Personally I will have a coffee and thats all I can stomach until about 11am. My partner is big on brekkie and the latest is coffee with a big bowl of nutri-grain

I agree with this article, you really need to read the ingredients to see what you’re eating and how much. I stay away from Sultana Bran as although there isn’t a lot of added refined sugars, there is still a lot of sugar in the cereal from the sultanas (around 22% of the cereal are sugars).

Luckily my children like weetbix. Unfortunatly my husband loves nutrigrain, and when he buys it the kids want it too

Thanks for this wonderful article Annette, it has opened my eyes …must limit the consumption of rice bubbles and increase my weetbix and oats.

I always look at the sugar content but I forget the salt. I can’t believe how much salt corn flakes have in them!

Finally, finally, finally, after 15 years my son loves Weetbix. He sometimes has them with sliced banana. It’s a great start to the day for him. He did decide he really liked Muesli, just before the braces went on so this became a no-no. Happy with this current choice. I’m a fan of muesli with yoghurt and porridge in the winter. My husband will eat anything. In fact, if a cereal is not getting eaten and nearing its use-by date, I just have to tell hubby and he’ll work through it!

My little one loves her rice bubbles.

We stick to porridge/oats from the cereal aisle. Otherwise its a cooked breakfast, but its the one meal of the day we try to never miss out on. Only miss it if we have to fast for bloods or ops or something similar.

I have to admit I’ve never measured my breakfast, but over the years have used increasingly larger bowls to satisfy my big breakky hunger!

My kids always had Cornflakes or rice bubbles and from time to time coco pops but they much preferred the days i would cook them scrambled eggs on toast.

I struggle feeding my kids proper breakfast. I do have corn flakes, weetbix and rice bubbles. my kids dont like porriage. I get them to hve yoghurt if they are still hungry before having toast which I only allow them 2 piece. my son dislikes shakes. Would like Ideas posted for fussy eaters.

This is great. I’m struggling with my girl in the morning. I think winter calls for another try at porridge. I think it’s nice with a banana chopped in it. See what happens!

We keep it simple and just have oats!

I did not know that about salt. I usually eat oats anyway.

Weet-bix is definitely a favourite in this house! Good to know we’re on the right path.

My toddler loves his weet bix and occasionally I mix it up and give him some oats.

Banana is a good source of potassium but have a high sugar content.
Kelloggs now have some Gluten Free options but I haven’t checked the ingredients yet. As you state in the article high sugar and salt (sodium) contents are very high.

It varies for my toddler and I, sometimes toast, sometimes muesli or weetbix
