Finding an easy healthy breakfast for my kids has always been a challenge. I have searched for years to discover quick breakfast ideas because none of us (except my husband) are morning people. The kids want to sleep until the last possible minute then rush through the house willy-nilly trying to get ready, while I chase behind them asking, “Did you eat?” This is not the optimal way to begin a morning.
I’ve discovered two factors that help us when determining what to eat for breakfast; convenience and speed. The kids are much more likely to eat it if and, to be honest, I am much more likely to prepare it, if I can pull it out of the freezer, place it in the microwave and hand it to them. During a recent trip to Walmart I discovered Tyson Day Starts in the freezer section. When I saw each box contained 24% to 34% of our daily protein requirements, I brought home a box of the Sausage, Egg and Cheese biscuits. The next morning, when everyone was complaining, “What do we have to eat for breakfast in this house?” I pulled out the biscuits and the blender. In ten minutes I had a high protein breakfast of biscuits and smoothies. Sadly, everyone saw me with the Tyson Day Starts box so I couldn’t pass the biscuits off as my own, especially since I received compliments for the breakfast.
Want to tempt your family to eat a protein breakfast? Here’s my recipe for the Mango Smoothie. It looks so bright and cheery, I’ve began to call it a “Sunshine Smoothie.”
Here’s what you need to make it:
Just mix the ingredients together in a blender and you’ve got a smoothie to go in less than five minutes!
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cubed mango (I used frozen)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup (8 ounces) vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup mango juice (or mango nectar)
- Mix all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth, about 30 seconds.
If you are not a morning person either, make the day easier for yourself and #StartWithTyson. Sometimes I even use the Day Starts and Sunshine Smoothie for a quick breakfast for dinner when I am pressed for time. The kids enjoy the change of pace and I can mix it up with omelets, biscuits or a breakfast burrito.
What are the best ways you have found to get your kids to eat breakfast?

Looks delicious! Mangoes are one of my favorite smoothie flavors. So thankful for frozen mangoes though…Makes it so much easier to make the smoothies. Cutting mangoes can be tedious. 🙂
