1. Make some funny faces
Eating overnight oats or porridge is a great way to start the day, especially if you use fortified soya milk to add protein and calcium. Have a competition to see who can decorate their oats with the funniest face. Here are a few fruity ideas: Apple slices with a little cinnamon Raisins – a source of iron Fruit purée made from dried apricots soaked in boiling water, then blended – another source of iron Mashed up berries ready to swirl in for multicoloured oats rich in vitamin C, which also boosts iron absorption
2. Kick off your weekend with a ‘breakfeast’
A 5-a-day portion of fruit or vegetables is roughly the amount that fits in your child’s hand. If you’ve got a bit more time at the weekend, it’s easy to off er multiple portions at breakfast time: Reduced salt and sugar baked beans Grilled mushrooms Tinned plum tomatoes Make a fruit and veg smoothie or serve 150ml (5floz) orange juice (dilute with water for 1-4 year-olds)
