    Easy & Healthy Breakfast Snack Pots

    Today I'm sharing a really simple kids breakfast idea that could revolutionise your stressful school morning rush - easy and healthy breakfast snack pots! I was inspired to make these after hearing a blogging friend (Wendy from Daisies & Pie) mention that she had been making up little pots of fruit salad for her children for breakfast, and I thought it sounded such a brilliant idea! I took it a step further and raided the cupboards to see what else I could find to answer the endless question of what to eat for breakfast.

    The great thing about these breakfast snack pots is that you can make them up in advance - if you spend 10 minutes putting them together in the evening, you can have breakfast sorted for the next few days! Even better, get your child involved in choosing and putting together a selection of healthy goodies, that way you know they will definitely eat them.  Once they are made up, you can let your children choose a selection to eat for breakfast, grab them to eat on the go (great for days out when you need to get an early start) or use them as healthy snacks throughout the day - perfect for the school holidays!

    You can pack whatever foods you'd like in the boxes - fruit (fresh, dried or tinned), nuts, seeds, yoghurt, cereals, cubes of cheese or other healthy nibbles - below I've given you some ideas to get you started.  Why not have a look through your cupboards to see what you could pack?

    In the boxes below I packed fresh red grapes, natural yoghurt, granola (homemade granola is even better - check out my super simple child-friendly recipe!), cashew nuts, mini bread sticks and cereal (Organix multigrain hearts).

    In these boxes I packed chopped up Organix oaty bars, mixed dried vine fruits, tinned peach slices, fresh blueberries, cubes of cheddar cheese and chopped pineapple.

    Once portioned out, be sure to store fruit and dairy products in the fridge, and you can just stack up the 'dry' foods in the cupboard ready to go. Can you think of any other healthy foods to use for this project? Do let me know in the comments below!

      That's a lot of variety! Since I usually eat some variation of stuff on toast for breakfast, I'd try some Melba toast or something similar alongside.

      Melba toast is a great idea! There is a lot of variety shown here, it's not all to be eaten at once! I just wanted to pull together some different ideas and challenge the idea that we have the same old boring cereal for breakfast every day 🙂

      What a fantastic idea! This sounds like such a great time-saving device for people who are short on time in the mornings. Thankfully I don't often find myself in this position but this will help when I do. Thank you for linking to #PoCoLo x

        Thank you! We normally find the time for a more conventional breakfast in the mornings but this makes a nice change and is also great for those days when you have to leave early 🙂
