Mint Chocolate Chip Crepes
Take a trip to France for the morning with a sweet twist. To make these crepes, make your go-to pancake batter a little thinner and spoon a few tablespoons into a frying pan, evenly coating the entire pan. While cooking the batter, stir together whipped cream and mint extract, then fold in chocolate chips. Spread the mixture over the crepe when it's cooked and fold in half, then half again to make a triangle. Cut into thirds so kids can eat with their hands. These cook fast so whip up a bunch! If you make the batter the night before, it cuts down the hands-on time to just 15 minutes.

A healthy breakfast includes a balanced range of foods from the 5 food groups. Healthy breakfast options include porridge, oats, muesli, rice, vegetables, low-sugar wholegrain cereal, boiled eggs, omelettes, wholegrain toast, fruit and yoghurt.
Scientists can't agree on a single set time, but the consensus seems to be within three hours before bedtime. So if you go to bed at 11 p.m., don't eat after 8 p.m. Banishing late night snacks after that time could help alleviate the symptoms of acid reflux disease, too.
Skipping breakfast can make kids feel tired, restless, or irritable. In the morning, their bodies need to refuel for the day ahead. Their mood and energy can drop by midmorning if they don't eat something for breakfast. Breakfast may help keep kids' weight in check.
In Februarz 2022, nearly 33 percent of survey respondents in the United States stated that eggs are their favorite breakfast food. Moreover, approximately 18 percent stated that bacon or sausages are their most preferred breakfast dish.
The most common American breakfasts include ham, sausages, bacon, and eggs. Americans who prefer sweet breakfast would eat muffins with their hot cup of coffee or cold fruit juice. Another popular sweet choice is the American signature waffles and pancakes.
How much food teenagers need depends on body size and activity levels. Teenagers aged 12-13 years should aim for 2 serves of fruit; 5-5½ serves of vegies; 3½ serves of dairy; 5-6 serves of grains; and 2½ serves of lean meats, eggs, nuts, seeds or legumes.
A nutritious breakfast will provide adolescents with energy for growth and fuel for the day's activity. What is more, commonly consumed breakfast foods provide whole grains, fibre and calcium – important components of a healthy diet.
It doesn't matter! Breakfast means “to break the fast”, so you should eat a healthy breakfast soon after you wake up (whenever you wake up) to get the energy and nutrients you need to start the day.
