3 Delicious Breakfast Ideas for Mom
Posted on by Paula Gallagher
My favorite Mother’s Day meal was the very first one my son ever made for me. He was 4. It was simple. A bowl of cereal and juice. He was so proud of himself and it made my heart full. It has evolved a little more since then, and my daughter has joined in. And every year, I look forward to their homemade cards and the breakfasts they make. I know, I am not the only mom who feels this way. So, If you really want to do something memorable and show how much you care, surprise your mom with a healthy, home-cooked breakfast or brunch.
Oatmeal Kebabs with Raspberry Sauce
These kebabs are fun for kids to make. You can make the oatmeal balls ahead of time. Kiwis, raspberries and oranges provide a good dose of immune-boosting vitamin C, but you can use any fruit she likes. Even dried fruit works well. What makes this breakfast even better is the delicious sauce to dip in.
Raspberry Coconut Sauce
- 1 Tbsp orange juice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender. For a smooth sauce, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Oatmeal Kebabs
- 2 kiwis, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick half moons
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/2 large orange, cut into 1 in segments
Assemble kebabs by alternating threading 2 oatmeal balls and several pieces of kiwi, raspberries and oranges onto eight 8-inch wooden skewers. Serve with Raspberry Coconut Sauce for dipping.
Maple Granola Raspberry Parfaits
This is another easy breakfast to put together, especially if you have granola on hand. With creamy yogurt and sweet-tart berries, this parfait will leave Mom feeling like she’s spooning up a special dessert for brunch. Sprinkle some shaved dark chocolate to make it even more decadent.
- 1 cup granola
- 3 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 1/2 cups raspberries
- Dark chocolate shavings
To a wide-mouth glass or jar, add a layer of yogurt, granola and raspberries. Repeat with more layers, if desired, and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings.
Red Velvet Smoothie
Dessert for breakfast? This mom says yes! This decadent breakfast may sound more like a dessert than a healthy meal, but it is chock-full of nutrition.
- 1/4 cup mom’s favorite milk
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese or vegan cottage cheese alternative
- 1 small red beetroot, peeled and chopped
- 3 mint leaves (optional)
- 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 frozen banana, chopped
- 1 Tbsp coconut chips
- 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1 Tbsp dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Add milk, cottage cheese, beet, mint, flaxseed, orange zest, cinnamon, strawberries and banana to a blender and blend until smooth and thick. Pour into a pretty cup or bowl and top with coconut chips, walnuts and chocolate chips. Drizzle maple syrup on top.
