We know you want to give your kids the best possible start to their day, which includes a healthy breakfast. We also know you’re busy. A big thank you goes to Mia Syn, MS, RD (@nutritionbymia) for creating Cheesy Rainbow Cups for our busy Brightest readers.

According to Mia, “these Cheesy Rainbow Cups are a great breakfast for kids because they are packed with protein for staying power and made with key nutrients that support brain health, including omega-3s from DHA-fortified milk and choline from eggs. Make a batch of these to store in the freezer and pop them in the microwave on rushed mornings for a quick, kid-friendly, brain-healthy breakfast.”
