Here Are The Best Costco Breakfasts Kids Can Make Themselves
I joked recently that if school started an hour later, mornings would be easier. Then I remembered: I would still want that extra hour of sleep, and my kids would still need encouragement to get out of bed.
Mornings are hard.
To make them a little more manageable, here are easy, kid-friendly breakfasts from Costco. These options work for elementary-aged kids up through teens, and many require minimal adult help. Pour a cup of coffee and read on.
The Best Costco Breakfasts Elementary School Kids Can Make Themselves
- Kirkland Egg Sandwiches — These ready-made breakfast sandwiches taste similar to popular coffee-shop sandwiches and heat quickly in the microwave. They’re kid-approved, convenient, and affordable at under $2 apiece.
- Yogurt Parfaits — Easy to assemble and surprisingly satisfying, parfaits pair high-protein yogurt with granola and fresh or frozen fruit. Kids can layer ingredients in a cup for a colorful, healthy breakfast that feels like a treat.
- Kirkland Signature Chocolate Banana Almond Milk and Cheerios — Swap regular milk for chocolate banana almond milk to make cereal more exciting. The flavor is a hit with kids and adds extra protein to their morning bowl.
- Eggo Waffles — A great hands-on option, Eggo waffles from Costco are budget-friendly and quick to prepare. Keep a stash in the freezer for mornings when kids want to toast and top their own waffles with fruit or syrup.
- Kodiak Pancakes — Make a big batch on the weekend, freeze pancakes flat on a baking sheet, then bag them for easy reheating. This flash-freeze method keeps them from sticking together and gives kids a quick microwaveable breakfast.
- Yogurt Bark — Spread yogurt on parchment, top with fruit and granola, freeze, then break into pieces. Store in the freezer so kids can grab a couple of pieces for a cool, portable breakfast.
- Veggies Made Great Superfood Veggie Cakes — These mini veggie cakes combine eggs, quinoa, and vegetables in a muffin-sized portion. They reheat well and offer a savory, protein-rich option for kids who prefer less sweet breakfasts.
Best Costco Breakfasts For Teens and Tweens
- Breakfast Burritos — Frozen breakfast burritos are portable, filling, and easy to heat—ideal for older kids who need something they can eat on the go. Costco carries several brands that deliver good flavor and convenience.
- Avocado Toast — Pre-made avocado mash from Costco saves time and waste. Spread it on toast and add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon for a current favorite among teens who like savory, fresh flavors.
- Acai Bowls — Frozen acai packets at Costco make it easy to prepare trendy, smoothie-style bowls at a fraction of the café price. Thaw briefly and blend with fruit or a little milk for a thick, spoonable breakfast that tweens and teens love.
- Almond Butter Toast — Spread Kirkland almond butter on whole wheat toast and top with banana slices or berries. A drizzle of honey or sprinkle of chia seeds adds sweetness and texture for a balanced, protein-rich start to the day.
