\"\"If your family is like mine, no one feels like eating at 4 am \u2013 especially not the children. I have found that small, nutritious items with a little flavor work for us. Try these sometime:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Egg Quiche.<\/strong>This is super easy to whip up and lasts days in the fridge. In fact the longer it sits the better it tastes. I found this no-crust cheese and spinach quiche recipe<\/a> online. It\u2019s quick and easy to make. Use 5 eggs, 10 oz of spinach, 1 onion and 3 cups shredded cheese. Bake it all together in a pie plate. You can use eggbeaters or less cheese to make it healthier; our favorite is sharp cheddar. One slice in the early morning holds down nicely throughout the day. My kids prefer this dish instead of boiled or scrambled eggs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Multigrain Muffins.<\/strong>There are tons of easy muffin recipes online. I like to find one that uses a variety of grains and fruits to maximize their nutrition content. I put this recipe together on my own. I hope you like it as much as my kids do :). It requires 10 minutes for preparation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Add the following to the food processor<\/p>\n

      Dry ingredients:<\/strong> 3 tsp baking powder, 1\/4 tsp salt, 1 cup quick oats, 1 cup unbleached flour, 1\/4 cup corn flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, a dash of cardamom, nutmeg, clove, 2 tsp vanilla, 1\/3 cup sugar, flaxseed\/nuts (optional).<\/p>\n

      Wet ingredients:<\/strong> 3 eggs, 2\/3 cup milk (I use low fat), 2 TBS butter, 1 apple cored with the skin on, a handful of baby carrots, 1 ripe banana<\/p>\n

      Lightly grease a muffin tin.<\/strong> Bake at 400F for 15 to 20 mins.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Steamed Green beans.<\/strong> Takes 5 mins. They are easy to chew and digest. They are also great finger food for kids.\n

        Watermelon.<\/strong> This is high in nutrients and hydrates us well. I generally stay away from acidic fruits during suhoor. Sometimes I add a little water and blend the melon as a drink. It goes down even easier<\/p><\/li>\n

      2. Pudding.<\/strong> I look for the ones made with real milk. They are provide about 30% the daily requirement of calcium. I especially like the Kozy Shack brand with all natural ingredients. You could also sprinkle a few nuts on top for added protein.<\/li>\n
      3. Liquids.<\/strong> With the heat these days, we try and use some sort of drink with electrolytes. Most sports drinks have a lot of sugar and are a bit acidic. We like to drink Smart Water.\u00a0 It\u2019s full of electrolytes and no sugar. It tastes just like water, so the kids have no trouble getting it down.<\/li>\n
      4. Mac and Cheese.<\/strong> This dish has a decent amount protein and calcium. The Kraft box shows 10 grams of protein and 15% calcium. You could even buy the whole grain option. It\u2019s a warm comfort food. If you have 10 minutes in the morning to make it, I guarantee you will have many takers.<\/li>\n
      5. Peanut butter and banana on a slice of whole grain toast.<\/strong> This hits the spot and gets us through the day. It\u2019s quick and leaves me with time to read some Quran before fajr J.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
