The back-to-school season is here, and for families, that means juggling busy mornings, packing lunchboxes, and tackling after-school hunger. I’m on ABC Tampas Morning Blend with kid- and parent-approved picks to make the transition into your new routine a breeze.
A Crunchy, Mess-Free Fruit Fix
Crispy Fruit is the perfect snack for lunchboxes, backpacks, and after-school cravings. Made from 100% pure fruit with no added sugar or preservatives, these freeze-dried treats are as nutritious as they are convenient. They’re mess-free, come in seven delicious flavors, and have a satisfying crunch kids love. Available in grab-and-go 4-packs, you can find them at The Fresh Market, Whole Foods, and online at CrispyGreen.com.
Dairy That Travels Anywhere
When building a balanced lunchbox, it’s important to include a variety of food groups, including fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Horizon Organic makes it easy to check the dairy box with their USDA Certified Organic Milk Boxes and Mozzarella String Cheese. Their shelf-stable milk boxes provide 8 grams of protein along with calcium and Vitamin D to support strong bones and muscles, and they can be taken anywhere without refrigeration. For a quick, satisfying snack, Horizon Organic Mozzarella String Cheese delivers 7 grams of protein and a good source of calcium in every stick.
A Sweet Treat Without the Guilt
There’s always room for dessert in a balanced diet and Hu Chocolate makes it easy to indulge without compromise. Their new Hu Bites are the brand’s first individually wrapped product, offering creamy-centered indulgence with just 4–6 simple ingredients. USDA Organic, Fairtrade, and free from refined sugars, sugar alcohols, palm oil, soy, and emulsifiers, they’re a treat you can feel good about. Each pouch contains six individually wrapped bites, making them perfect for lunchboxes, school bags, or a guilt-free sweet treat anytime. Find them at Whole Foods, Kroger, and on Amazon through Whole Foods.
A Smarter Morning Coffee for Parents
While the kids are getting back into their routines, parents deserve a boost, too. Everyday Dose is coffee that does more, combining 100% Arabica coffee with Collagen, L-Theanine, Lion’s Mane, and Chaga. This unique blend supports smooth energy, calm focus, gut health, and skin health—all without the crash or jitters. It’s the perfect way to start your morning on the right note and keep your day on track. Everyday Dose is available online at EverydayDose.com, on Amazon, and now at Target stores nationwide.
