Especially for children, a healthy breakfast is the basis for a good start to the day. Kindergarten children can look forward to a varied, exciting morning, for which they can prepare themselves well with an ideal breakfast for children . After the "meal break" at night, breakfast replenishes the energy stores and ensures that the muscles and the brain switch to "reception".
Therefore, complex carbohydrates and a lot of fiber in the form of whole grains should be included in the children's breakfast buffet in the morning. Children who do not eat breakfast cannot concentrate properly and do not think well.
In order for children to enjoy breakfast without protest and persuasion, they must enjoy breakfast. And above all, it doesn't have to be sumptuous. But how do you spread a good mood in the morning? Correct – with a hearty, healthy breakfast.
Is there the ideal breakfast for children?
The ideal breakfast for children is the combination of whole grains, fresh fruit and dairy products. Oats are a true source of energy, especially for children. In the morning, children have only low reserves of glycogen, the storage form for glucose, in the liver and muscles. Therefore, it is particularly important that they replenish the energy stores emptied overnight.
In general, a warm oatmeal with milk, nuts , raisins and fresh fruit is recommended for breakfast . Oatmeal is therefore the first choice even for the youngest . Oats contain twice as much protein (around 24%) as other grains, helping the brain and body to develop healthily.
Under our children's brand Yanick & Fee, you can choose from other balanced, nutrient-rich organic products with a low sugar content and made from whole grains. Chocolate and fruity cereals are offered for breakfast, as well as a berry crunchy with a greatly reduced sugar content.
In collaboration with nutrition experts, we have therefore developed children's products that either contain no added sugar at all or have reduced the sugar content by 30 – 50% compared to conventional children's breakfast cereals.
Hot breakfast for kindergarteners
Oatmeal are little superheroes and offer an optimal breakfast before kindergarten. Even a small portion of oats, oats or porridge daily brings a huge portion of health and performance to the children's breakfast plate.
Porridge is quick and uncomplicated to prepare. Quickly boiled with milk or water, oatmeal makes for an easily digestible breakfast that gives children long-lasting strength and energy.
Additional porridge toppings – such as fresh fruit, fruits, berries , nuts, cranberry , dates, maple syrup or honey - lend the final indulgence. Oatmeal is a light, gentle meal that does not burden a child's stomach unnecessarily.
Oats provide the body with important silicon, magnesium and iron. In this way, it also supports the growth of muscles and nerves in children.
Oatmeal is rich in minerals, vitamins and amino acids . Above all, oats provide your children with sufficient vitamin B. In short, oats are indispensable at the breakfast table. With our breakfast products, you'll never get bored at the breakfast table.
We offer a lot of balanced and healthy children's products. Especially for kindergarten children, we recommend: our unique organic porridge cocoa banana.
Children who eat a warm meal in the morning get enough energy for the whole day. The body can only use food in the raw state with great difficulty, cooked and warm it is much easier for our organism to absorb nutrients.
The nutrient-rich VERIVAL children's porridge without added sugar is ideal as a warm start to the day and is prepared in just 3 minutes.
Do not force children to have breakfast
Some parents sometimes need a concentrated load of persuasion to convince the little ones that you should never leave the house with an empty stomach.
A little something should always be taken: a sip of milk, some fruit or a cup of cocoa. However, no one should be forced to eat.
We are convinced of the importance of a healthy breakfast for children. Food should be fun, and that should be taught to the little ones at the breakfast table.
Our children's products are all about the cheeky siblings Yanick and Fee when it comes to packaging. Their funny experiences in the Tyrolean mountains ensure a good mood – and who doesn't want to taste the same breakfast as the two main characters on the package?
Healthy snacks for kindergarten
For a successful kindergarten day, a balanced breakfast is just as important as a break bread, which not only tastes hearty but is also healthy.
Parents should pack their children a varied healthy snack for kindergarten: a healthy break bread, fruit or chopped vegetables.
You should also not forget about the drink. The following applies to bread: chop thickly and cover thinly – ideally with cheese, sausage, ham or cream cheese.
Regular meals and a healthy breakfast are extremely important for children
Our common sense and countless nutritional guides tell us that regular meals and a healthy breakfast are very important for our children.
As a result, the nutrient battery of adolescents is sustainably recharged, which in turn prevents cravings for sweets in the morning. Children should stay away from sweet, unhealthy snacks. Sure – that's easier said than done. But as parents, you should definitely keep an eye on it and be mindful.
That is why VERIVAL has sought advice from representatives of both "parties" in the preparation of recipes for children's breakfast products (porridge, granola , muesli ): on the one hand, through extensive scientific input from nutrition experts and, on the other hand, through practical tastings of children aged 6-10 years.
"This allowed us to ensure that the products only contain as little sugar as necessary, but still clearly meet the taste of the little ones," says Wolfgang Fojtl.
