Lately breakfast for KK has been hard. Other than guzzling down a big milk, it is hard to get calories into her first thing in the morning. It's the only time she is more of a picky eater. So lately, I have gone a bit unconventional. Many a morning, she eats Orville Redenbacher Smart-Pop popcorn for breakfast. She loves to have it in her own zip-loc bag and eat it in front of her beloved TV show Caillou. Usually by about mid-morning she will succumb to an offering of fruit and mommy can feel better about the contents in her little girl's tummy.
Popcorn and milk isn't a whole lot different from a bowl of cereal with milk, maybe salty instead of sugary. You used to like cheese and saltines in the morning, which probably comes out about the same in calories and nutrients as KK's popcorn and milk. I saw a two year old drinking a cup of coffee one day, so I think KK's choice is just fine.
