Proper fuel is important for our kids brains in the morning. If they skip breakfast, they often get hungry around 10am and grab for whatever they can find at school...and it’s most often some kind of refined carb concoction of unhealthy junk.
Sometimes mornings are rushed in our house and we are running to get out the door.
Here’s a quick healthy throw together that packs healthy carb, protein, and fat and takes less than a minute to prepare. In our house we call it, Monkey Meets Squirrel.
