1. Grains without removing husk, vegetables, fruits, pulses and milk with less fat content, eggs – all these items can be included in your diet, and you can choose a combination of different types as breakfast.

2. Your breakfast should be protein-rich. Eggs, pulses and nuts are abundant in protein content. You can include protein-rich food ingredients in your kid’s meals. For instance, if you make Upma as breakfast, add a little nuts and raisins to improve protein content of the meals.

3. While preparing breakfast for your kids, try to include more vegetables in their favourite dishes. If so, their body will be supplied with sufficient nutrients. For instance you can add grated carrot to breakfast items like dosa, idli, steam cake, upma etc. Moringa leaves and Palak (Spinach) can be added while preparing dosa.

4. Idli-Sambar and Steam Cake – Chickpeas curry are healthy breakfast menus. Nutrients like protein, carbohydrate etc are well-balanced in these types of breakfast items. So, make them a habit.

5. You can include items with healthy fat content for breakfast. In whole wheat bread, use vegetables and skin-removed meat as fillings while preparing kid’s breakfast.

6. Ragi powder is rich in calcium. So you can include ragi powder to your normal breakfast items to provide your body with sufficient calcium.
