Back to School Hints

I know that the summer has been a blur and that the idea of order and routine is appealing but just as frantic. But I just wanted to remind Moms and teachers of the importance of great nutrition for our kids when they are back at school and making sure that they leave the house with a very square meal, and a well balanced lunch to go.
A few suggestions for breakfast: scrambled eggs and raw vegetables, Ezekiel bread and almond butter, steel cut oats with almond milk, nuts and seeds, berries and hemp hearts, or a smoothie which personally I choose because you can pack them with nutrition and the kids love them.
TRY: 1 banana, almond milk, scoop of greens powder, whey protein powder, berries, a few ice cubes and serve immediately!
Remember that a daily dose of fish oils or flax oil for kids is a great boost for their brain and should be taken daily!
Also-no sugary drinks because not only is it bad for their teeth but it really affects their blood sugar, moods, learning ability and focus. Choose fresh water every time!
