The Champion Breakfast Lineup
- Carbohydrates
Make carbs your number one selection! They are the energetic strikers! Foods like whole grains and oats supply immediate energy for your children! They release glucose steadily into the bloodstream and give them power to do more! - Proteins
Up next, select proteins. Much like the midfielders who control the flow of the game, foods like eggs, fish, and lean meats are essential for muscle development, brain function, and overall growth in children! Let’s go!
- Fats and Oils
Next, you must select fats as your goalkeeper. A reliable goalkeeper will always ensure the team's stability and protection, and healthy fats, do just that! Avocados, and nuts are examples of foods that contribute essential fatty acids that support brain development and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. - MILO®
