Want your Kids to Succeed Physically and Academically in School? Its that time of the year again - school schedules, getting to bed earlier, the morning rush, purchasing back to school supplies, and signing up for school sports. And most importantly, sending the kids off to school with a nutritionally sound breakfast and healthy lunch to help them succeed both physically and academically. Scientists show that good nutrition improves mental and physical abilities. In fact, multiple studies have shown that kids who skip breakfast are more likely to eat more during the day, have a higher body mass index, score poorly on tests, and be less physically active. Help your kids succeed in school and in life by providing them with sound nutritional guidelines at an early age. Be an example. Breakfast is the more important meal of the day. Start it with a good protein meal.
Get organized by planning ahead. If morning time is too rushed, plan or prepare both breakfast and lunch the night before. Have your kids help with the process. Skip the cereal and milk and serve up some eggs with chopped ham and cheese, make a yogurt smoothie with high-protein Greek-style yogurt, or a low-carb burrito. Make a healthy breakfast casserole, and divide into serving sizes that can be quickly heated for breakfast. For lunch ideas, pick up a copy of our Lunch Choices for Kids hand-out at the office. Want something quick, easy and healthy? Take advantage of our special pricing on Crisp n Crunch bars for breakfast or lunch. Kids also like the Chocolate and Vanilla Wafers, BBQ Crunchos, and the Ready-to-Drinks and Shake-n-Gos.
