2 slices white high fibre bread with 10g Nutella per slice + 1 glass reduced fat milk + 1 banana

The current Nutella Breakfast is suitable for children and adolescents above the age of 10 years, meeting around a quarter of their daily energy needs.
As children under 10 years have lower kJ requirements, a revised Nutella Breakfast with just 1 slice of white high fibre bread with 10g of Nutella + 1 glass reduced fat milk + 1 banana may be more appropriate to recommend for these younger children.
