Pancakes, fruit cup, milk (syrup not pictured)   I like that you can tell the breakfast was carried in a sack: all the little pancakes fell to one side! I’m not really feeling this breakfast. Aside from the milk there isn’t a lot of protein. The pancakes are adorable, but I don’t think they are packing [...]

Banana (top), “pink” yogurt, grahams Surprisingly, I reviewed the ingredients in the yogurt and guess what? No artificial flavors (No Red #40!). Well, knock me over with a feather.

Cornflakes, string cheese (far left), milk, OJ Kids are not offered chocolate milk for breakfast; the only option is white milk. My students like cereal and I’m happy that the string cheese is there. When I’m at home eating breakfast in the morning, I’ll eat cereal by itself most of the time. Instead of cheese, I’ll eat fruit with my [...]

Pancake on a stick, orange juice, and syrup One kid deconstructed his breakfast What the…? That was my reaction the first time I saw this breakfast. I also didn’t look too closely at the package of syrup and for a split second I wondered if the kids were squeezing honey onto their corn dogs — no, that [...]
