Back to school Breakfast tips - The importance of breakfast for brain health + breakfast recipe guide for calmer, more focused mornings!

Written By Pahini Ross

As a mom to 3 busy boys, I know how hard it can be to get breakfast on the table and be out the door in time for school! With a little planning and creativity, it is possible to deliver a nutritious breakfast to your children to set them up for a successful day at school. Breakfast is such an important part of your child’s day and a balanced, diverse diet can be an effective integrative approach to improving self control, focus, and other symptoms of ADHD.

3 tips to incorporate into your child’s breakfast:

  • Protein: sausage, eggs, nuts, seeds

  • Good Fats: avocados, salmon, walnuts, chia seeds, dark green leafy vegetables

  • Low Glycemic (low-sugar) + High Fiber Carbohydrates: swap sugary cereals and breakfast treats for fresh fruits

I have created a breakfast recipe guide that emphasizes the 3 breakfast tips listed above. You can download the recipe guide by clicking the following link: https://www.neuroflourishmethod.com/breakfast

Remember quality over quantity! It’s not about loading your child up with calories. It’s about loading your child up with nutrient dense foods that positively impact your child’s hormones, metabolism, mood, and energy throughout the day.
