Turns out the 2pm crash isn't tiredness - it's what she ate at 7

Legumes are one of the only foods that give you fibre AND protein AND slow-release carbs, all in one. That combo is exactly what stops the blood sugar rollercoaster — that means no spike, no crash, no fog in fifth period. So many teen breakfasts are all fast carbs and basically no fibre, which is why the 10am and 2pm crashes are so common. And it’s one of the first things I change when it

For these pancakes, I’ve added Cannellini beans. Honestly they’re one of the easiest ways in — they're mild, they blend straight into batter, and even your fussiest kid will never know they're there. One breakfast, one scoop of beans, and you've covered fibre, protein, and steady energy for the whole morning.

2 eggs

½ cup cannellini beans, rinsed

½ cup wholemeal spelt flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup Greek yoghurt

Add eggs & cannellini beans to a food processer or blender & blitz until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients.

Melt some butter in a fry pan over a lowish heat and cook pancakes in small batches.

Serve with fresh fruit, extra yoghurt, maple syrup, butter & honey - whatever takes your fancy!
