Countdown to FCAT: Eat for Energy

Every day, we expect our students to come to school ready to do their best thinking.  This starts with a healthy, satisfying breakfast!  Students in grades 3-5 have come up with many healthy breakfast ideas, which the students will receive as a bookmark this week.  A healthy breakfast consists of foods high in fiber, low in sugar, and a source of protein.  Adding a serving of healthy fats, such as those found in nuts, avocados, olives, and egg yolks helps keep your body satisfied.  Healthy fats are also important for the brain to develop properly and help keep you in a good mood.


My favorite breakfast is eggs and sweet potato hash browns.


Mr. Remley is not a morning person, so the night before, he makes oatmeal (with milk for protein).  He mixes in cinnamon, blueberries, chopped walnuts, and sweetens it with a little honey.  Sometimes, if he's in a hurry in the mornings, he makes a peanut butter and banana sandwich!


We love bananas!

(Remember to hydrate yourself by drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up and another with breakfast!)

What is your favorite healthy, satisfying breakfast?
