Build A Better Breakfast With Grow

You may have heard it over and over again but breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, especially for children.

Breakfast – Fuel to Get You Going

Breakfast re-energises the body after an overnight fast. Nutritionists believe that a good breakfast should deliver at least one-quarter of your child's daily nutrition needs. Research shows that children who eat breakfast, compared to those who don't, achieve better concentration, memory, test scores and behaviour in school.

The Singapore Breakfast Scorecard

With hectic school schedules, our kids find it hard to sit down for a proper breakfast. We often succumb to providing easy options that kids will tolerate just to get the job done! Here's how some popular breakfast options rate on a Nutrient Density Scale*.

What is Nutrient Density?

Nutrient Density is the amount of nutrients per unit of energy (calorie) you get from the given food. Eating nutrient-dense food is one of the healthiest ways to get a lot of vitamins, minerals and fibres. Foods with a higher score contribute more to the nutrient content of the diet.

In addition, we present how these breakfast options rate alongside with GROW^® or GROW SCHOOL^® milk on a Nutrient Density Scale*.

Boost the nutrient density of your child's breakfast with GROW^® or GROW SCHOOL^® milk today!

Rise and Shine to a Power Breakfast

Wake up just a little earlier and sit down with your kids to have a nourishing breakfast. Make it an interesting meal with a choice of healthy alternatives.

• Bread, cereal, rice, porridge, pasta, or noodles provide fuel for the day. Choose wholegrain for more fibre and nutrient value.
• Choose protein like eggs, lean meat, fish, poultry, or beans to support growth and repair of the body.
• Include milk, yogurt, or cheese for more calcium and protein.
• Include fruit and vegetables for added vitamins, minerals, and fibre.
• Keep added sugar, salt and fat to a minimum.

*Nutrient Density Score calculated based on the values available on Food Info Search (www.hpb.gov.sg) and Abbott Nutrition, and evaluated for the 11 nutrients listed in the Recommended Daily Dietary Allowances for Normal Health Persons in Singapore (Children) 3 to <5 years and (Boys) 5 to <7 years.
