Easy Breakfast and Snack Ideas for Kids

Finding easy and convenient breakfast and snack ideas for kids can be tough. It's important to make sure that they are getting protein and make sure they are eating enough even though life is so busy.

The days of being able to take time to make healthy family meals has become almost extinct. With kids being involved in so many activities, it feels like getting them to eat full meals that include protein is impossible. It has become the age of convenience eating, which can lead to unhealthy choices and lots of fast food. Even the weekends are now packed with dance, soccer and music practices. I think it is important to take a step back and think of some new and convenient ways to feed our kiddos during these busy times. One of Kate's favorite go to breakfasts is Jimmy Dean® Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick! I pair one with some fruit and a cup of milk in the mornings so I can be sure she is getting some protein in her body before long days at school and after school activities.

These Jimmy Dean® Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick literally take less than a minute to prepare in the microwave or can be heated in the oven. I feel good about feeding her a hearty breakfast and she starts her day with a smile!

When we are busy after school or in the afternoons on weekends, we turn to State Fair Classic Corn Dogs! They are a long time family favorite that I love too...there is just something about a corn dog that takes me back to my childhood. These corn dogs are baked, not fried and provide protein too! They can be microwaved too! Kate loves hers with some fruit as well as mustard and ketchup for double dipping! When we are in a pinch, we can take these to go too!

The convenience of the Jimmy Dean® Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick and State Fair Corn Dogs is amazing! They are the perfect breakfast and snack to take with you on the go or enjoy at home.

I purchased both products in the freezer section at Walmart. I love that they are inexpensive, convenient and a great source of protein!
