Benefits of Breakfast!
Eating breakfast will kick-start your metabolism after a night’s sleep and give you
energy to start your day. It will also help you feel fuller so you will be less likely to
overeat at lunch, or choose nutrient-poor snacks before lunch.
Breakfast is a great meal to get some of your daily servings as recommended by
Health Canada’s Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide1. It’s also good to know that
when your children eat a nutritious breakfast they’ll have a good start to their day.

swirling batter around the pan to coat the bottom. Cook crêpe until
golden brown. Flip crêpe and cook until golden spots appear, about 15
seconds. Transfer crêpe to parchment-lined oven-proof plate. Repeat
with remaining batter, placing a sheet of paper towel between crêpes.
