Give your child a complete, balanced breakfast every day

Research shows that children do best starting their day with a balanced breakfast to feel and do their best. Canada’s Food Guide recommends including at least 3 out of the 4 Food Groups (Vegetables & Fruit, Grain Products, Milk Products, Meats & Alternatives) as part of a balanced breakfast – such a complete meal provides the right blend of nutrients essential for healthy living.

Leading studies show that children who eat a balanced breakfast:

• Perform better at school
• Are more likely to meet the nutritional intake needed for healthy growth and development
• Tend to have a healthier body weight than children who skip breakfast
