From the AAP

The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) has this to say on their website (italics, bold, red type added by me):

Can you give me some meal suggestions that are tasty, convenient, and nutritious for my children?
From breakfast through dinner, these ideas will please even the fussiest eater.
Off to a good start. . .the breakfast bonus
Breakfast provides energy to carry a child through an active morning. Children who skip breakfast may not concentrate well at school or may lack energy to play. Not everyone enjoys traditional breakfast foods, such as cereal and toast. These breakfast ideas are a little different:
Breakfast shake: combine skim or l % milk*, fruit and ice in a blender.
Frozen banana: dip a banana in yogurt, then roll it in crushed cereal. Freeze.
Peanut butter spread on crackers, a tortilla, apple slices or jicama slices.
Leftover spaghetti, chicken or pizza: serve hot or cold!
*Skim and l % milk are recommended for children over two years old. Children under two years of age should only drink whole milk.
