Breakfast Breaks
All Moms want their kids to eat a breakfast that keeps them satiated until lunch time,
right? However, sometimes when we are running late or have a busy morning we can’t always provide a fulfilling breakfast. This is where Breakfast Breaks comes in.
Mom Central recently included us in a campaign for Breakfast Breaks so we were able to try out a couple different Breakast Breaks meals. These meals in a box are like lunchables for breakfast time and cost around $2.49 each. They include cereal (such as cheerios or cinnamon toast crunch), Minute Maid Apple juice box (from concentrate), and a “nutritious snack” which in our case was a fruit bar that neither child ate. If your child wants milk in their cereal you will need to bring that along or pour before you go.
Overall, I think this breakfast on-the-go is a good idea for kids who are running late and this is their only option. It should not be used as an every day “convenient” breakfast meal because it’s not that nutritious and it includes way too much sugar. Sure, it’s convenient but convenience isn’t always a good thing.
I also wanted to note that I read in the press release that these meals were originally successfully used in free & reduced lunch school programs. Personally, I hate the thought of children only eating this boxed stuff 5 days per week. I hope that wasn’t the case. Thankfully our son is homeschooled and we are able to provide more nutritious options. However, I guess any breakfast is better than no breakfast so there’s a positive.
As I stated above I would use Breakfast Breaks when a traditional breakfast wasn’t an option and I’d also serve them during vacation or on long car trips. Breakfast Breaks have to be better than anything on fast food breakfast menus.

I love breakfast breaks it’s good for a rushy morning lunch at school my family travels a lot and if you want to get on the road fast just grab breakfast breaks there sooooo good I only wish they might come in diferent cereals
I think this is an EXCELLENT idea… It keeps the food basic. Cereal, juice, and a bar. Lunchables, are unhealthy, the quality of food is low, the salt content is high, and it doesn’t even provide a BASIC food item.. I would definitely prefer these breakfast breaks, and the new Oscar Mayer Sandwiches in a box to previous “quick meal” ideas. Yes, these aren’t necessarily “healthy”, but they are far better than the other options available right now…
I recently got coupons for these, but can not find them in our two local grocery stores. We have a Super Walmart and Krogers. I asked an employee at Krogers and he had not idea even what isle they would be placed in. Any help, maybe the stores have them, and I am just not looking in the right isle.
Thanks.
