My daughter is getting fed up with weetabix and cheerios which are the cereals we tend to have. Any suggestions of alternatives that are not packed with sugar but which children like?


She also eats yogurt, toast and fruit but that's about the extent of our breakfast menu and I think she would welcome a change!

My kids tend to have a selection of shreddies, rice krispies, cornflakes, cheerios & weetabix. Porridge always goes down well, I put raisins in it for them. They never have just one of those options, always two, and they tend to both choose different combinations which is sometimes a bit much for my brain to cope with early in the morning! But I figure if it means they'll eat a decent amount of breakfast I'll do it.


As a "special weekend treat" last weekend I gave them cocoa pops and neither one liked them, they both asked for "normal" rice krispies. Oh well, looks like Mummy will have to finish the box then... :)

English muffins (not the sugar packed American ones), crumpets, toasted bagels, baked beans or spaghetti hoops (we go for the low sugar/low salt variety). Our kids also reject sugary cereals (for treats), even though they like the look of them if they see an ad. Funnily enough I have one that will only eat rice crispies for breakfast even though he is offered a choice.
I've started making Bircher muesli and my 2 year old loves it. Dead easy; soak whole oats in good quality apple juice overnight in the fridge then top with fruit (grated apple, fruit purees, blueberries or whatever) and a dollop of yoghurt. I make a big batch and we eat it all week. Yum.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
