Breakfast of Champions

Like Mom always said, breakfast could be your most important meal of the day. My 10 month old, Griffin, has an incredible amount of energy,  and I make sure that I provide him with a good and healthy breakfast.  His favorite lately has become blueberry oatmeal.  I've read that blueberries, often referred to as a 'super food,' are good for him because they are high in antioxidants and they also contain fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C.  Blueberries are also thought be cholesterol reducers.  Most pediatricians recommend introducing blueberries to your baby's diet between 8-10 months, but talk to your ped to get his/her philosophy.               

Blueberry Oatmeal:

Three Tablespoons of Instant Oatmeal

Add water and cook for 30 or so seconds

Three tablespoons of blueberries.  I buy Wyman's of Maine organic blueberries from Costco.

Voila! You may have to heat a little longer is oatmeal is still cool to the touch.

 

While he eats, I incorporate a fun language learning song...."Blueberry oatmeal, blueberry pie.  Blueberry oatmeal, my oh my!"  or "I love (oatmeal or blueberries) yes I do.  I love (oatmeal or blueberries, how 'bout you?"  There's no surprise that one of his favorite words to say is 'blueberry!'

Hope your breakfast was as fun as ours :).
