We all want our children to be good students, and it all starts at home-beginning with breakfast. Study after study show that breakfast eaters-children and adults-have an easier time controlling their weight and are more alert and productive compared to breakfast skippers. New studies also show that cholesterol levels are much lower in children who consume a high fiber breakfast. Watkins has a variety of foods to get the whole family off to a healthy and productive start. For families on the go, try Watkins high-protein Energy Bars or SoyNilla* beverage mix, both with plenty of fiber, or serve Watkins Raspberry-Cherry or Blueberry-Raspberry Preserves with whole wheat toast. If you like the taste of cinnamon rolls, but don't like the fuss-or the fat-try Watkins Cinna-Cream Sprinkles. Just sprinkle on buttered toast, cereal, French toast or oatmeal for the taste of a cinnamon roll without all the fuss. Kids and grown-ups alike will love this tasty treat. Now that deserves a toast!
*SoyNilla is only available in the US.
