Shake-up Your Breakfast!
Did you know that this week was breakfast week (25th-31st January), in our house we all enjoy our breakfast….Well why wouldn’t we it is a good way to start the day.
With the weather being cold we have been enjoying a nice variety of hot breakfast’s such as Porridge, Shredded wheat, Weetabix etc. I have mine with a nice cup of tea, Lee and Bradley enjoy theirs with a nice hot chocolate. This week we have gone through so much milk, especially with it being so cold lately we have been having extra hot chocolate drinks.
We enjoy our breakfast as it gives us a good start to the day and with the weather being so cold it is nice to have something warm inside us for venturing outside to brave the cold.
One morning we was all in a rush so we experimented by making a homemade breakfast shake to have on the go.
Ingredients:
One cup of natural yoghurt
One cup of milk
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
One banana
One cup of oats
We combined all the ingredients together and mixed in a blender, it was so quick and easy to make. We are lucky as the boys love their fruit and they enjoy experimenting with the fruit to make all different types of shakes. This was our first attempt to make a homemade breakfast shake and the boys loved it, they said it see them through until lunch time at school so that was a bonus.
We will definitely be making this homemade breakfast shake in the future as it was so filling and it makes a healthy breakfast to have on the go.
We love letting the boys experiment with foods and flavours, we feel it is important to let them, we also think it is great that they take an interest in what they are eating, we enjoy watching them try different flavours as they don’t like all foods and spices and when they come across something they don’t like trust me they soon let us know.
Do you have kid’s that like to experiment with food’s and flavours, do you think you would try out this homemade breakfast shake?

That breakfast shake looks great. We also enjoy a good hot chocolate in our house, in fact this week we’ve been taste testing four of the luxury brands including one that comes as solid chocolate medallions that you melt down – It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it!
That’s a great kick start to the morning. I often make my girls a smoothy to start their day off and add ground cashew nuts to give a protein boost
That sounds amazing Clare, sounds like a very hard job indeed 😉
That sounds like a fab idea Anthea!
Sounds great. I like the way you are letting the boys experiment with the flavours, I must do that with my children.
