What kids around world eat for breakfast; what do your's eat

Oldest is generally two blueberry eggos. Youngest is cold cereal or a bowl of oatmeal.

DD has porridge in winter and toast in summer as a rule. We like leftovers here as well. Today we had left over roast pork for breakfast.

Neither live at home but eldest has scrambled eggs generally. Youngest goes between various cereals. I have granary toast or porridge.

DS likes a couple slices of toast with cinnamon, or a bagel and cream cheese, or a homemade muffin. During the week he doesn't really eat much in the morning. On the weekends he likes a big breakfast of waffles and syrup or french toast or pancakes.

DD likes a bowl of cheerios with milk and banana. She'll often eat leftovers from dinner.

Both my kids are very opinionated about breakfast foods. Neither one likes the taste of eggs. Meanwhile my DH makes 2 eggs every single morning for his breakfast.

It varies. Instant breakfast, cinnamon toast, scrambled eggs, peanut butter toast, and cereal are in the rotation.

15 yr old dd usually has a bagel w/ butter or cream cheese or a bowl of Rice Krispies cereal on school days. On weekends she loves leftovers or breakfast burritos. If I make a big breakfast she likes fried potatoes w/ red/green peppers and onions and chorizo and eggs. She usually doesn't like eggs but will eat them in a burrito or w/ chorizo.

Camping she has waffles, cereal or leftovers.

I live in Norway, and for us the standard breakfast is a slice of wholemeal bread (not toasted)topped with cheese, jam, cold cuts etc. Every morning I slice up enough slices for breakfast and lunch, put the spread on them (today was strawberry jam), give one slice to each DD for their breakfast and I fix the other slices of bread for sandwiches for their school lunch. I also include yoghurt and fruit in their lunchbox.

On the weekends we go a little bit luxurious and opt for bread with Nugatti (sort of like Nutella)on Saturdays, and some kind of egg on Sundays (scrambled, hard boiled or sunny side up).

I think the Swedish and the Danish people are very similar to us with the open sandwiches. Swedish children get a hot lunch at school though, something I think we could benefit from in Norway. We eat a lot of bread with toppings during one day

Mine usually have:
- eggs and potatoes
- eggs and sourdough toast
- eggs and sausage (or some moisture of the above)
- oatmeal or cream if wheat
- pancakes made with a lot of eggs or crepes

I eat Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts every day.

Ds has his medical formula Elecare Jr. Usually 2-4 sippies.

Dd has either 2 gf waffles with either maple syrup or gf jam, 2 eggs with fruit or sausage, egg with cereal, or waffle with egg and fruit.

Weekdays it's typically either yogurt & fruit, cereal & fruit, or eggs & toast.

On weekends, when we have more time, it could be anything...pancakes, breakfast casseroles, french toast, waffles, omelets, quiche, you name it, we'll try it.

DS (6) has Greek yogurt, a piece of fruit, and some cashews or almonds most days. He says it does the best job of keeping him full until lunch at school, so he likes to stick to pretty much the same thing, just varying the kind of fruit depending on what we have on hand.

My 11yo ds eats a bowl of cereal with milk, 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, a waffle, a banana, a glass of milk pretty much every morning. Yet, he is small for his age.

My 18yo dd eats anything she can grab quickly, usually a hard boiled egg and a waffle. But, she'll grab almost anything.

dd8 - dry cereal, oatmeal pancakes (homemade from the freezer), or oatmeal
ds6 - dry cereal, oatmeal pancakes, or green smoothie if Dh makes one
ds4 - cereal bar first thing every morning (love the Trader Joe's version) followed by oatmeal or eggs with me, also loves fresh berries
dd1 - not a huge eater yet but will usually eat eggs with me or a bite of toast

I usually have eggs or sometimes oatmeal. Dh has cereal or a green smoothie.

What an interesting article and I loved the photos! Mine is 25 and away at college living at the dorm-I have no idea what he eats for breakfast anymore.

Me-I always hated breakfast. I can't eat when I first get up and I'm not a morning person. I have to be up at least an hour or so before I can eat. When I started "Forks over Knives" it was whole grain bread toast with peanut butter and bananas, but I quickly gained 5 pounds doing that for 3 months. I was craving eggs like crazy so I switched to eggs on whole grain toast-nothing else, no butter or anything like that, plus coffee. Yeah, I know. It's not 100% vegan, but that's my only cheat. I buy the organic, free range ones at Whole Foods since I'm not supposed to be eating eggs in the first place, I might as well get the healthiest ones I can.
