Special K One of my biggest dilemmas is a healthy breakfast for my kids. Everyone is always rushed in the morning. I have 4 children to get out the door at different times for school. Hardly a chance for a family get-together. Sadly, I fill my freezer with waffles and french toast sticks. Easy, fast and the best part, mom doesn't have to get out of bed to cook. (Bad Mommy.) This is one of my major changes in this house. I am actually going to hook them up with some Special K and fruit. Low fat or non fat yogurt too.

My first purchase was fruit. They love apples, grapefruits, oranges, bananas, and grapes. Not very filling so I also bought some Special K. I was worried they wouldn't like it. But, much to my surprise, they love it. I brought home the Red Berries and the Fruit and Yogurt flavors. The fruit and yogurt flavored Special K has 1g of fat, while the red berries has 0g of fat, excluding the milk. So eat it with fat free milk, if you can get your kids to do that. Mine are at 2% right now. Next week I am going to switch to 1%. I will gradually get them down to skim or fat free. I don't want to put them in shock.

You can go to Special K, to start the Special K Challenge. Great link to help you get started with weight loss and healthy eating. Special K even offers waffles, snack bites, breakfast bars, protein bars, and protein water to help you feel full. I think this will benefit my children in the long run. It should keep them from getting bored with just the cereal.

I am trying to help my children understand the importance of healthy eating. I am not really mentioning the weight loss benefits to them. I don't want them to get annoyed with all the changes I am making. So far, so good. This might be easier than I thought. Enjoy!
