toddler breakfast foods

Yogurt-based items are the main sources of live cultures in this list. Several single-serve yogurt cups and refrigerated mini yogurt bars are described as containing live active cultures or probiotics — one 4 oz cup is specifically noted as containing “billions” of live probiotics. Look for drinkable yogurts, yogurt cups, and yogurt bars when you want probiotic-containing toddler breakfasts.

Frozen muffins should be kept frozen until ready to serve. The provided instructions recommend microwaving on HIGH for about 30 seconds and letting stand 1 minute (note that the wrapper and muffin can become hot). Alternatively, muffins can be thawed at room temperature for about 2 to 4 hours before serving.

A creamy oat baby cereal marketed for 6 months and up (1st stage) is listed. The ingredient highlights include whole grain oats, whey protein, and prebiotics; it’s iron-fortified and a source of calcium, and the product notes no added sugar, palm oil, soy, artificial flavors, or colors.

Several products are fortified with iron, calcium, and various vitamins and minerals; some specifically list vitamin D and calcium. Other nutritional additions noted include prebiotics, whey protein, and live probiotics in yogurt products.
