Top up their favourite cereals with a cup of colourful berries. Add a dollop of yoghurt for extra creaminess. Why not sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top too! The intense colours will definitely get your child’s attention, while the combination of flavours will keep them eating until the last spoon. A scoop of peanut butter on top of breakfast cereals is also a great way to add extra protein - a great addition to a kid’s breakfast. Combine it with dried fruit and watch as it all disappears in seconds.
