The back-to-school season is here, and for families, that means juggling busy mornings, lunchbox prep, and after-school snacks. I’m on CBS Washington, D.C.’s Great Day Washington to help ease the transition.
Beverages with Benefits
New from Sunsweet, PlumGood is made from high-quality plums grown in California, giving it a light, refreshing, and crisp taste. Just one 8-ounce serving provides fiber, zinc, and is an excellent source of vitamin C – all for only 60 calories. These nutrients support digestive health and immunity, making PlumGood a smart addition to your family’s routine. If you’re familiar with Sunsweet Prune Juice (made from dried plums), PlumGood is different—it’s made from fresh plum juice straight from the tree fruit, bringing the freshness of California orchards to your glass. You can find PlumGood locally at Giant and Wegmans, or online at sunsweet.com.
Parents need their boost too, and Everyday Dose is coffee that does more so you can too. This 100% Arabica coffee is enhanced with collagen, L-theanine, Lion’s Mane, and Chaga mushrooms to support smooth energy, calm focus, gut health, and skin wellness—without the crash or jitters. Science-backed ingredients make this daily ritual taste great while also fueling your body and mind. Everyday Dose is available online at everydaydose.com, on Amazon, and now at Target stores nationwide.

Packing lunches just got easier thanks to Crofter’s Organic. Their great-tasting fruit spreads now come in a convenient, no-mess squeeze pouch. Made with organic fruit as the #1 ingredient, they offer a seedless, velvety smooth texture that’s perfect for PB&Js, mix-ins, or as a quick topping. Look for Crofter’s Organic Strawberry and Berry Harvest Squeezable Fruit Spreads at Walmart and Wegmans.
