Breakfast is the very first meal of the day and it wakes up your brain and your body! After sleeping all night, your tummy is completely empty and needs healthy fuel to start the day. A great breakfast gives you the energy to pay attention in school and run fast at recess.
You can eat yummy things like warm oatmeal, toast with peanut butter (if you are not allergic), or a bowl of cereal with milk! Adding a piece of fruit makes your breakfast even more colorful and delicious. You can also try eggs, yogurt, or a smoothie for a tasty morning meal.
Eating breakfast every morning helps your brain think clearly and your body feel strong. Kids who eat breakfast do better in school because their brains have the fuel they need. It also keeps you from getting too hungry before lunch!
- The word breakfast actually means to break the fast — the fast is the long time you go without eating while you sleep!
- People around the world eat very different breakfasts.
