A Variety of Breakfasts....not just for little people!

Recently I posted about the Toddler Power Pancakes. Tonight I'm going to post about the other 2 brekkies my little man has been enjoying of late. ....And they aren't just for little people.

First up I give you his:
Poached Egg on Toast with Salmon.
As simple as it sounds this consists of a piece (or 2) of multigrain toast, one (or 2) poached egg(s) mashed over the toast, topped with a piece of smoked salmon and cut into little squares. ...The salmon is always the first thing to be eaten. ...What can I say he's a kid after his mumma's heart!...and makes me feel good about the protein and omega 3's he's getting.

The other breakfast is a bit of a modified long-time favourite. Since early on last winter I introduced Huddo to porridge with my fruit purees mixed in. Now I like to make it a bit more nutrient packed....I like to call it ...
Porridge with The LOT!
1/2 cup of porridge
1/4 cup of fruit puree (generally mixed berries & apple....I still am a fan of freezing the fruit purees into icecube trays. ...They just come in handy for adding healthy little flavours to various things)
1 tablespoon of yoghurt
1 teaspoon of flaxseed meal (aka linseed meal)
1 tablespoon of protein powder

The protein, fibre and other vitamins make this one nutrient packed bowl.

Throughout the week the breakfast meal plan generally looks like this over the last couple of months:
Sunday: Power Pancakes!
Monday: Power Pancakes (remaining mixture)
Tuesday: Eggs & salmon on Toast
Wednesday:...now this is the day we work at the markets and he generally has a plate of little Dutch Pancakes (definitely more sugar in this than the ones I make but hey it's one day of the week!)
Thursday: Porridge with The Lot!
Friday: Porridge with The Lot.
Saturday: Eggs & Salmon on Toast.
 
Also I often get asked about what liquids Hudson is having these days. When he was a few months old I was experimenting with different juices diluted, water and breastmilk.
Now I find he just doesn't particularly care for juices which doesn't phase me. He does however consume alot of water over the course of the day (generally between 600mL to a litre...some really hot market days it's much more) And he is still going strong with the breastmilk. However on Saturdays market day when he is home with Troy he has cow's milk in a cup with 3 teaspoons of protein powder shaken in.

Hope you are all having a great weekend! :)
