It’s sometimes a challenge to get my boys interested in breakfast, but this easy no flip omelet is something they always get excited about. And I’m always excited when they can take over the cooking!
Breakfast
Stop the sugar rush with this healthy treat!
Looking for a way to stop the sugar rush before it starts? I came up with this recipe in an attempt to stop the sugar rush so my kids can be their naturally sweet selves. It’s chock full of ingredients that have been shown to slow sugar absorption such as whole grains, fiber, healthy fat, and cinnamon. It’s not only delicious and healthy, but it really helps to balance their blood sugar so I’m not dealing with four hyper kids!

When you’re running late for school and your kids still haven’t eaten here’s a great healthy breakfast on the go! Perfect for picky eaters who are constantly moving.

I think it’s a great example of how easy it can be to eat real food and make good choices. You don’t need to be a nutrition expert, or spend all your time in the kitchen, to pick up a few changes along the way and really transform your diet. Continue reading
