Here we go.. Back to School time! Summer is winding down but there is still so much to do! Sports are in full swing with the midget leagues playing and the middle/high school teams practicing. Please make sure that your kids are eating healthy and eating enough. Also, hydration is very important! Water, water, water! Be mindful of sugary drinks. Make sure you and your children are eating plenty of whole foods such as fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, quality proteins such as chicken, turkey, legumes/beans, and fish, and quality grains; such as brown rice, barley, wild rice, and whole grain breads.
Worried about what kind of school lunches to pack? Be creative. Have fun with it. Get different kinds of cookie cutters to cut sandwiches into. Try different kinds of wraps stuffed with goodness! Make big batches of homemade soups and freeze them. Take them out the night before and heat in the morning for the thermos. Cut up fresh fruit and veggies. Pair the veggies with hummus or an organic ranch dressing (without MSG) for dipping. Lunch and snack time don't need to be boring. There is nothing wrong with leftovers for lunch either. Healthy doesn't mean boring. Help your kids pack their lunches giving them some choices. Contact me for more info!
