To grab their attention quickly, I resort to delicious morning hacks like this: Morning Chips and Dips. Yep, oatmeal chips with a yogurt dip. It works every time—it’s all about the presentation. Instead of serving a bowl of oatmeal, I switch it up and make it something fun and tactile like this.
It’s a morning hack for sure and a mom trick I resort to often. My kids get bored of the same thing in the morning, so I’m often thinking up creative ways to present food to them. They always feel like it’s a treat when they can side step the traditional sit-and-spoon for dip-and-scoop like you see here.
