## [Think Outside the (Cereal) Bowl: Breakfast Foods that Best Fuel our Kids for School](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades1-5/think-outside-the-cereal-bowl-finding-foods-that-fuel-our-kids-for-school)

We’ve heard it since we were kids and likely tell our own children the same: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Yet, in a cereal-dominated breakfast world, it is easy for our kids to fall into a rut of eating the same processed, nutrient depleted (non) foods for breakfast everyday before school. The convenience and popularity of those colorful boxes of cereal are hard to top, yet there is unseen cost to our kids’ bodies that may affect their capacity for focus and learning throughout the school day. Knowing *why* breakfast is, in fact, the most important meal of the day, and knowing *what* foods best fuel the body and mind will help us set up our kids for success at the onset of each day.
