Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and for some busy families, it’s also the best time for family meals. Research shows starting the day with a protein and fiber-rich breakfast helps you feel full longer and less hungry throughout the day. While most experts recommend a balanced breakfast with foods from at least three food groups, this week we’re going one step further and helping families everywhere pour on the protein with milk and milk products and fill up on fiber with healthy breakfast ideas.
Your family can power through morning meetings or math class with the protein and fiber provided by Creamy Wheat Berry Hot Cereal, Citrus Salad with Ginger Yogurt and Indian Tea. Eat Better, Eat Together with other protein and fiber-rich recipes like Homemade Granola, “Drink Your Cereal” Milk, Layered Yogurt and Easy Cheesy Skillet Frittata.
Visit Facebook to take the Eat Better, Eat Together family meal pledge and follow the Twitter hashtag #EatBetter2Gether for family meal updates. Then register at MealsMatter.org to add these and other recipes to your personalized family meal plan and shopping list.
