The new school year is just around the corner and keeping good nutrition in mind is key to helping kids and busy parents stay focused, energized, and ready to take on the day. I have nutritious options to help you start the year off on a healthy note, starting with breakfast.
Red’s craveworthy burritos are cooked in small batches with freshly baked tortillas and simple good-for-you ingredients …..and the new breakfast sandwiches are stacked with the good stuff – artisan bread, savory antibiotic-free sausage, fluffy cage-free eggs and a satisfying slice of melty cheese. All Red’s products are made with premium, high-quality ingredients, offer 12-17g of protein per serving and are easily cooked in the microwave or air fryer.
Next, add convenient protein, calcium and probiotics to meal and snack time with Chobani yogurt. Chobani® Greek Yogurt Drinks are crafted for convenience with real fruit, local milk, 10 g of satisfying protein and only natural ingredients. Creamy yogurt and crunchy mix-ins tumble together in fun-for-everyone flavor combinations with Chobani Flips. And the Chobani® Complete advanced nutrition lactose-free yogurt drinks are a great source of fuel for parents on-the-go with 20g of complete protein, 3g fiber, and 0g added sugar. Time-strapped parents can help stay energized with the La Colombe RTD Draft Lattes where One-of-a-kind frothy texture meets real cold brew coffee with the flavor of a classic cafe latte. They are made with high-quality ingredients, like farm fresh milk, beans roasted and brewed by La Colombe, and only a touch of sugar.
For another wholesome and tasty grab and go snack option, look to Dave’s Killer Bread® Organic Snack Bars and NEW Amped-Up Organic Protein Bars. These are ideal for breakfast, school luchboxes and snack time to help keep kids properly fueled during the busy back-to-school period with tasty and convenient nutrition. Like all Dave’s Killer Bread offerings, these bars are Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified and contain no artificial ingredients, preservatives, colors, or flavors, high fructose corn syrup or bleached flour. The Organic Snack Bars come in three delicious flavors – Trail Mix Crumble, Oat-rageous Honey, and Cocoa Brownie Blitz, and the killer taste and whole grain nutrition you’ve come to love from Dave’s Killer Bread is now available in an organic, plant-based protein bar, available in three craveable flavors: Amped-Up Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk, Amped-Up Double Chocolate Coconut, Amped-Up Blueberry Almond Butter. You can find Dave’s Killer Bread® Organic Snack Bars and Amped-Up Organic Protein Bars at Publix and on Amazon.
Finally, keep immune and gut health in mind with a high-quality probiotic supplement. I recommend TruBiotics Kids Probiotic Gummy Supplements and Adult Probiotic Gummy Supplements because they feature the most clinically researched Bacillus probiotic strain which research shows helps to support a healthy digestive system by multiplying good bacteria, supporting normal gut barrier function, and aiding digestion through enzyme production. These supplements are naturally sugar-free and get their sweet flavor from fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic fiber. The Kids Probiotic Gummies include vitamin C, and the Adult Probiotic Gummies include vitamin D for immune support. TruBiotics is also available in capsules for adults and chewable for kids. You can find TruBiotics on Amazon and at major retails including Walgreens and Walmart.
