An ideal breakfast
An ideal breakfast for a child living in food insecurity would be nutrient-dense, easy to prepare, and affordable. Here are some suggestions:
1. Whole Grains: Foods like oatmeal, whole grain bread, and brown rice are affordable and packed with fiber and other nutrients¹².
2. Protein: Eggs, beans, and peanut butter are good sources of protein that are relatively inexpensive¹².
3. Fruits and Vegetables: Fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables can provide essential vitamins and minerals¹².
4. Dairy: Milk, cheese, and yogurt are good sources of calcium and vitamin D¹².
