Planning ahead can make back to school lunches not seem so time consuming and dreadful. Meal prepping and making large meals so that leftovers can be an easy option.<\/p>\n
Breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n The most important meal of the day, so important it should never be missed and make it count! Consider that your body has been fasting for the last 12 hours it is ready to receive all the nutrition that a healthy breakfast has to offer. This meal also sets you up for the day, very important with kids because a high sugary breakfast cereal can cause that big sugar rush and crash early on, making learning nearly impossible. I know mornings can be busy so why not prep the night before. My favourite are smoothies, you can hide anything in a smoothie including the green veggies that can be difficult to fit into kid\u2019s diet and they taste great. Include a good source of protein and fats, avocado, chia, hemp or flax seeds, nuts, coconut oil and you\u2019ve created a nutritionally loaded jump start to the day. Oatmeal with some added coconut oil, berries, protein powder, turmeric and cinnamon can offer a great easy option to make the night before.<\/p>\n
