Breakfast provides food for the brain after a night of sleep. The nutrients consumed at breakfast gives your children the energy they need to concentrate while in school, that in turn enables them to retain what is taught.

But many kids skip breakfast in the morning because they are either in a hurry or simply not hungry. This is not a healthy move. These children should be made to consume a simple protein shake.

These shakes should ideally comprise milk  (soy, cow or goat), protein powder, ground flax seeds or flaxseed oil and fruits of choice like blueberries or bananas.
