What To Make For Breakfast – Kid-Friendly Chia Pudding
Make-ahead breakfasts are all the rage right now. We have been making a ton of ‘special cereals’ as my kids call them: basically oatmeal, quinoa, nut and fruit mixtures, that are placed in the fridge overnight and ready in the AM to eat warm or cold.
What to make for breakfast? Our newest fave – overnight chia pudding. A truly health breakfast for kids.
Easy peesy!
