ABC, Lowcountry Live: Back To School Meals and Snacks

August 11, 2017

Mia Syn TV Dietitian Nutritionist Back To School

It’s Back To School week on ABC’s Lowcountry Live. For Good Food Friday, I shared some tasty and convenient meal and snack ideas that kids can enjoy as they head back to school.

Start your day with a balanced breakfast

Some studies suggest that kids who start their day with a balanced breakfast perform better in school and are more likely to be at a healthy weight. You want a combination of fruit, whole grains, dairy as well as protein. 

How to get your kids to eat more veggies

Nut or see butter goes great with your sliced veggies. I recommend sunflower seed butter because it is free of the top eight food allergens including peanuts, tree nuts and soy so it’s a school-friendly option. 

How to get your kids to eat more fruit


Freeze-dried fruit snacks are a fun way to get kids to eat more fruit – essentially they are fruit chips! They are made with only one ingredient and that is the fruit itself – no added sugars. 

Affordable and convenient snack options

Finally I shared some snacks that kids know and love – popcorn. 3 cups of air popped popcorn is equivalent to one serving of whole grains.
