SAEDNEWS: One common complaint from parents during the school year is that their children are picky eaters, especially at breakfast. To address this, it is recommended that parents prepare a variety of breakfast options the night before, ideally with their children’s help, to make the meal more exciting and stimulate their appetite.
According to Saed News, one recommended and homemade breakfast option is chocolate spread. To prepare a homemade chocolate spread, you generally need 6 tablespoons of tahini and 1 tablespoon of honey. After mixing the tahini and honey in a ceramic bowl until smooth, you can add a different ingredient each time to vary the flavor. For this amount of tahini and honey, you can add 1 teaspoon of hazelnut powder, 1 teaspoon of pistachio powder, 1 tablespoon of coconut powder, or even all of these together.
Occasionally, to create a new flavor in your homemade chocolate spread, you can add 1 tablespoon of rosewater or 1 tablespoon of ground cardamom. You can also replace honey with 2 tablespoons of grape syrup or date milk in this recipe. This breakfast is very nutritious, aromatic, and can provide significant energy to students.
Alongside this hearty homemade breakfast, it is recommended to prepare a glass of refreshing and nutritious drink for your child. To make a suitable breakfast drink for students, blend 50 grams of pistachio kernels or raw hazelnuts with 3 tablespoons of honey or grape syrup and 3 cups of water until a smooth, milk-colored drink is achieved. These homemade beverages are very effective in providing iron and boosting students’ brain function.
If your child enjoys sweet foods for breakfast or as a school snack, you can also prepare a highly nutritious date-based treat called “Date Halva.” To make this halva, peel and pit about 1 kilogram of black dates. Mix the peeled and pitted dates with 1 cup of tahini, 50 grams of walnut powder, 1 tablespoon of pistachio powder, and 1 tablespoon of coconut powder in a deep bowl until a smooth dough forms. You can roll this dough in various nut powders, sesame seeds, or coconut, and store it in the refrigerator for your child. These nutrient-rich balls can be enjoyed alongside breakfast drinks or as a school snack.
