7:00 AM – start getting kids out of bed
7:15 AM – start hollering because kids either aren’t out of bed yet or are moving at a snail’s pace
7:30 AM – Activating the Mayhew Law of Leaving: The faster you need to get somewhere, the more likely the kids are to find eleventy-billion ways to putz around.
7:45 AM – start doing the last minute haranguing about shoes and confirmations that teeth have been brushed and backpacks are packed and are, in fact, on the backs.
7:55 AM – begin herding children out the door, knowing that one of them will freak out halfway down the driveway about something they’ve forgotten.
8:00 AM – breathe a sigh of relief that we are actually going to be at school on time!
8:01 AM – realize that no one ate a decent breakfast.
FAIL!
As much as I know the tried and true belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, my kids are much like me and just aren’t that into eating a big meal first thing in the morning. We rush around trying to get out the door and a breakfast including more than a handful of fruit or a breakfast bar is beyond our reach.
As I am always on the lookout for a way to make the morning scramble easier on all of us, I jumped on the chance to check out a new product, Capri-Sun Sunrise, a new wholesome morning drink for kids.
Capri-Sun is a brand well known in my house, something I know my kids enjoy and I can trust for taste and value. Finding out that they provide a good source of calcium, 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C in the easy-on-the-go pouch just really made it a no-brainer.
So, now I don’t feel like such a breakfast failure knowing that I’m providing something that’s quick and easy they can grab every morning, better preparing them for the day.
If you’re one of those moms that gets up an hour early to make some muffins from scratch and whose kids look confused at the thought of a Pop Tart, this may not be something relevant to you.
However, if you (like me) struggle to get your kids to even THINK about eating breakfast in the morning, let alone something that’s good for them, Capri-Sun Sunrise may be a shot for you to sneak in something a little healthier into their routine.
