The back-to-school season is the perfect opportunity for the whole family to reset their routines. I’m on ABC Tampa with my tips.
Start the Day With a High-Protein Breakfast
Set the tone for the day with a breakfast that includes protein. Protein supports muscle maintenance, promotes satiety and helps provide sustained energy between meals.
Peanuts are an easy and versatile option, providing seven grams of plant-based protein per one-ounce serving—more than any other nut. They also contain fiber, healthy fats and 19 essential vitamins and minerals.
Research suggests that regularly enjoying peanuts and peanut butter does not lead to weight gain, likely because their combination of protein, fiber and healthy fats helps promote fullness. Add peanut butter to oatmeal or smoothies, spread it on whole-grain toast or pair peanuts with fruit for a simple grab-and-go breakfast.

Build a Balanced Lunchbox
A balanced school lunch should include fruits, vegetables, energizing carbohydrates and a source of protein. Including a variety of foods can help give children the nutrients and energy they need throughout the school day.
Crispy Fruit by Crispy Green is a convenient way to add fruit to a lunchbox. It is made with 100% pure fruit and nothing else—no added sugar or preservatives—just naturally sweet flavor and a satisfying crunch.
Crispy Fruit is available in seven varieties and convenient four-packs. The portable, mess-free packages are great for lunchboxes, after-school activities and everything in between.
Make Time for Your Own Wellness
Getting the family back into a routine also means making time for your own well-being. Creating a relaxing at-home ritual can help you intentionally pause and recharge.
