Summer is slipping away and a new school year is right around the corner! I’ve teamed up with a few brands to help make it a healthy and happy transition.
Start the day off with a healthy breakfast, which studies suggest helps with a child’s attention span and memory— both of which are crucial for effective learning in school.
A great way to kick off the day is with something fun and tasty like almond butter banana pancakes or mini-fruit kebobs paired with flavored yogurt as dip. You can also do apple cinnamon oatmeal with raisins and pecans. The goal is to make sure they are getting protein and fiber-rich carbohydrates so they have the energy they need to make it to lunchtime.
For protein-packing snacking anytime and anywhere, look to JUSTIN’S® Honey Almond Butter squeeze packs!
These Justin’s Squeeze Packs check all the boxes. One, they’re convenient – no refrigeration or utensils needed. They come in these “easy squeezy” packs you can easily add to breakfast like oatmeal and toast, or after-school snacks like fruits, veggies and crackers. And of course, you can simply enjoy straight out of the pack! Two, you’re getting protein – these have 6g of plant-based protein and 3g of fiber, plus they are made with high-quality, mindfully-sourced ingredients. And three, they’re delicious! You get the slight sweetness of organic honey plus a one-of-a kind grind giving them a naturally delicious taste. You can find Justin’s products at major retailers. Just visit Justins.com to find a store near you.
Creating balanced meals with vegetables, lean protein and fiber-rich carbohydrates, is key to ensuring that you and your family are getting the nutrients you need to stay healthy.
However, there are some ways to help give busy parents a leg up when it comes to boosting their metabolism such as resistance exercise and certain foods. Metavo is the world’s first plant-based metabolism management supplement brand and contains the proprietary avocado compound called AvoB. Studies suggest it can help activate metabolism naturally, aiding protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, to help improve insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, energy slumps and even food cravings.
