Today is the first day they're eating cereal (and assorted berries) and I feel like such a bad mom (We have an appointment in a few)
Usually I make them banana pancakes, yogurt parfait, eggs, avocado toast, French toast, toasted bagels with cream cheese/cheese/butter, healthy smoothies, or waffles.

ETA: not school aged yet

Usually twice a week cereal, once a week oatmeal, another day pancakes with scrambled egg, another day store bought pancakes with yogurt. I freeze pancakes in advance, scramble eggs the night b4, cook oatmeal the night b4 and pour cereal bowls the night b4

How do you manage to make 3 meals each day? In Israel there is no breakfast, they drink milk or coffee and a couple cookies, take a sandwich to school for breakfast and eat a cooked lunch at home(depends when they finish school, 1-2 oclock.)

My kids have cereal and milk. How do you have time to make a fancy breakfast? I’m very impressed.

My kids the leave early, like to take breakfast with them. So they usually take a greek yogurt acai smoothie, or a cream cheese bagel sandwich.
The younger kids that leave later have time for a normal breakfast like grilled cheese, French toast...
Sometimes they eat just a banana or yogurt because they're not in the mood of something more substantial. My son eats a plain mini bagel every day...

Weird....my house must be the only one flying in the morning as we all have to run off to work/school. I am happy when they eat the cereal.

Unfortunately we wake up way too early in this house so sitting them down with breakfast is the only way I can get 10 min of quiet to eat my breakfast

We wake up early enough. I can't focus without eating breakfast, I cannot send my kids off to school without something nutritious for breakfast.

How early do your kids leave?

A variety of cereals to chose from with milk!

My kids get up at about 7.45/8 and leave 8.35 so they're not even that interested in eating first thing in the morning always. I send plenty snacks with them, and some have a hot nutritious lunch in school or I make them sandwiches. They always have a fruit or fruit snack too.
Mornings are busy enough without also cooking!

Same. Also, even when my kids to wake up early enough, nobody has an appetite first thing in the morning. Maaaaaybe somebody will eat cereal. Another one of my kids has a hot breakfast drink when it’s cold outside (he won’t drink it cold).

My 2 year old is given breakfast before he leaves (if he will agree to eat it)
They only eat their bread at about 9.45am and will be hungry until then otherwise

The earliest is 8:00, latest 9:00. I get up 7:15 ish (when my toddler doesn't wake me earlier.) I prep whatever I can the night before.
They also sometimes like to take wirh them oatmeal in a hot cup.

Generally I try to stick with this schedule,

Mon, to start the week off right, I do hot cereal, usually farina- kids favorite, if Im late to wake up then oatmeal.
Tues- sandwich maker
Wed- scrambled eggs with bread
Thurs- toast and / or yogurt with granola
Friday, I let them eat cereal. They love cereal..
