King Kullen Shares Breakfast Recipes to Try
BETHPAGE, N.Y. (PRWEB) August 15, 2018 -- The start of a new school year can mean hectic mornings and hurried breakfasts, but it doesn’t have to. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day for kids, teens and adults. Eating a balanced breakfast helps to increase energy and cognitive performance throughout the day.
Finding the time to prepare a healthy meal when it’s early in the morning is challenging, especially for parents. The secret to success? Planning. King Kullen put together a list of breakfast options to make mornings easier and healthier for everyone.
Freezer Meals
Breakfast sandwiches, breakfast bowls, pancakes and waffles, oh my! Start the morning with something simple. Freezer meals are quick and easy.
Pop waffles in the toaster or heat up a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich in the microwave with easy frozen breakfast meals. Special K Breakfast Sandwiches, Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls and Eggo Waffles and Pancakes are just a few suggestions. All these products can be found in King Kullen’s Frozen Department.
Fruit Smoothies
Frozen fruit is perfect for making nutritious breakfast smoothies. Skip the ice because the frozen fruit acts as ice cubes, keeping smoothies icy cold without watering them down. The Frozen Department has a variety of frozen fruit to choose from, including blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, pineapple, mango, peaches, mixed fruit and more. Add almond butter, oats, spinach, kale or chai seeds for an option that’s packed with protein.
