High-Protein
Breakfast Ideas
for Kids
Redâs has the quick, protein-packed breakfast options you need to get your kids off to a great start every day â at home or on the go!
The Importance of Protein
Eating a breakfast that includes high-quality protein helps your kids stay full, focused and fueled for their busy days. Unlike morning meals that are mainly carbs and sugar, a balanced breakfast with protein helps control blood sugar (so long, sugar spikes and âcrashesâ!). Thatâs because protein takes longer for your body to digest and absorb, giving your kids the lasting energy they need â and helping them stay alert longer â in the classroom, on the sports field and beyond. For teens, a high-protein breakfast can also help maintain lean muscle mass.
Easy, Convenient Breakfast Solutions
Busy school days call for Redâs high-protein breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Made with delicious and wholesome ingredients â like cage-free eggs, antibiotic-free sausage and bacon and Non-GMO ingredients â theyâre a quick and convenient way to satisfy your kidsâ hunger and set them (and you!) up for a great day.

Skip the sugary cereal and pastries and serve your kids a wholesome, protein-packed breakfast thatâs delicious and fun! Redâs has you covered â with recipe hacks for busy days, family-friendly breakfast ideas and our signature grab-and-go EggâWiches, breakfast sandwiches and burritos.

Bento box = bliss for the littles! And our hack makes it quick and easy to give your kids protein foods for breakfast.

Next, build your sandwich, starting with a hash brown patty, then the EggâWich. Drizzle with sriracha or your other favorite sauce and top with the other hash brown patty for a satisfying, high-protein breakfast your teen will love. Congrats â you just crushed the back-to-school breakfast!
