MUMS will need to be operating at full throttle over the next few days as their little angels prepare for a transition from lie-ins and casual clothes to homework and school ties.

Kellogg's National Breakfast Week (September 3-9) coincides with the return to school for thousands of children across East Lancashire and aims to create awareness of the adverse effects that skipping breakfast is having on the nation's health.

The cereal supremos say more than a quarter of the UK population misses breakfast and they could be endangering their health by not making up the missed nutrients during the rest of the day.

Kellogg's National Breakfast Week highlights the benefits a cereal breakfast can make to mental and physical performance as well as protecting the heart and bones. A bowl of cereal with milk will provide iron and calcium for healthy bones, is low in fat and contains fibre to aid healthy digestion.

After the breakfast problem is solved, there's the dilemma of what to put in their lunchboxes. But worry not -- the Californian wrap is here.

Discovery, who supply authentic foods from Mexico and the Americas to the UK, have produced a pack of six flat bread wraps which are available in plain and tomato flavours. Here are some of the company's suggestions for delicious fillings:

fish fingers, mayonnaise, ketchup and iceberg lettuce;

sliced, cooked sausages, baked beans and grated cheese;

scrambled egg, ham and chopped tomatoes;

chopped chicken with grated carrot, chopped avocado and mayonnaise; prawns, mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and pesto;
