Background/Objectives: Increasing fruit and vegetable (F 95% CI −5.15~3.89; p = 0.807). No statistically significant between-group differences in change were observed for other cognitive indices, behavioral symptoms, or overall mood disturbance. Exploratory analyses suggested a greater reduction in fatigue scores among children aged ≤8 years in the intervention group compared with controls. Dietary assessment confirmed higher dietary fiber and carotene intakes in the intervention group at week 12. No intervention-related adverse events were reported. Conclusions: An F&V-enriched breakfast improved dietary quality but did not produce measurable between-group improvements in cognitive or neurobehavioral outcomes over 12 weeks. Exploratory age-specific findings warrant further investigation.
