Breakfast and snacks
Grain products, fruit, vegetables and dairy products and preparations are ideal for breakfast and snacks (prefer lower-fat variants). These product groups should form the basis of meals and also be part of breakfast or snacks on a daily basis. They supply the organism with important nutrients and plenty of vitamins, minerals and fiber. In order to ensure a sufficient supply of fluids, suitable drinks (see table) should be available for the children at all times.
