It's almost time to prepare breakfast for the kids at school again, and sometimes it's difficult, but it's essential to ensure they have the energy they need to face the day. In addition, the food must be safe, easy to handle, and nutritionally balanced. That's why today I'm going to tell you about a weekly menu that combines simplicity, nutrition, and flavor - everything your children need to enjoy their lunch at school!

Weekly Menu

Monday: Fruit Day 🍌

• Main food : A piece of fruit, such as a banana or a tangerine.
• Complement : A small handful of nuts (if there is no risk of allergies) or a homemade cereal bar.
• Tip : Choose fruits that are easy to peel and eat, such as bananas, tangerines or grapes (cut in half to avoid choking).

Tuesday: Sandwich Day 🥪

• Main food : Mini whole wheat bread sandwich with cold cuts and cheese or avocado cream.
• Complement : A drinkable yogurt or a small milk shake.
• Tip : Cut the sandwich into small pieces and use simple fillings to prevent it from falling apart.

Wednesday: Yogurt Day 🍓

• Main food : Natural yogurt with a spoonful of honey and chopped strawberries (can be another fruit)
• Complement : Whole wheat biscuits or a piece of homemade cake.
• Tip : Choose a drinkable yogurt if your child is not yet good with a spoon. Fruit should be cut into small, manageable pieces that are not a choking hazard.

Thursday: We repeat Fruit 🍎

• Main food : Sliced ​​apple or pear.
• Complement : Some cheese sticks or nuts (again, if there is no risk of allergies).
• Tip : Apples can be cut into thin slices and stored in an airtight container to prevent oxidization.

Friday: Homemade Day 🍪

• Main food : A piece of homemade cake or a couple of homemade cookies.
• Complement : A small carton of milk or a yogurt.
• Tip : Make homemade sweets with less sugar and more nutritious ingredients, such as oats, nuts or bananas.

Preparation Tips

• Safety First : Make sure to cut fruit into small pieces to avoid choking hazards. Avoid hard or difficult-to-chew foods.
• Ease of consumption : Choose formats that children can eat without help, such as drinkable yogurts, small snacks, and fruits that are easy to peel.
• Variety and balance : Combine main foods with complements that provide different nutrients, such as proteins, fiber, and healthy fats.

With this weekly menu, your children will enjoy balanced, safe and delicious breakfasts and snacks. Go ahead and try it and adapt the ideas to your little ones' tastes!
