Is your family bored with their breakfast choices? Van’s Natural Foods offers the perfect healthy breakfast option, and below I have include a favorite brunch item in our house. A favorite breakfast treat for my kids on school days are Van’s Minis Totally Natural. They are now made with 100% whole grains, making them an even healthier choice for breakfast or snack time. Serving suggestions for the waffles, which are an excellent source of calcium and contain no high fructose corn syrup.

Van’s Power Grains Waffles pack 10 grams of protein per serving.  They’re made with 16 grams of whole grains, including cracked red wheat, steel cut oats, millet and brown rice.  With natural flavors and a hint of cinnamon, Power Grains Waffles taste light and fluffy – while bringing a full third of the average adult’s recommended daily intake of whole grains.
