With school getting started it can be a difficult transition for kids on many different levels. One of the hardest aspects of going back to school is getting up in the morning. With young kids getting out of bed can be hard and getting them into the car to get to school on time is even harder. However, just because you might be short on time it is essential that kids get a healthy and nutritious breakfast. When kids eat breakfast in the morning it is setting them up for success throughout the rest of the school day. With their little tummies full they will be able to focus on learning and have the energy to get through until lunch. Here are some simple ideas that are quick for those morning when you are running late to ensure you set your kids up for success.
¨ Piece of toast with peanut butter and milk
¨ Low-fat yogurt with some fresh or dried fruit or granola
¨ Apple slices and peanut butter
¨ Cheese stick and cup of fresh fruit or 100% fruit juice
¨ Oatmeal with nuts or fruit
¨ Fiber rich cereal and milk
¨ Granola bar with dried fruit or nuts in it

I shared this on our Facebook page, but thought I’d post here on our site too for those who don’t have Facebook. I came across a great article about the hot topics of “clean eating,” GMOs, and organic foods. I couldn’t have said it better myself….take a read if you’re interested in this topic! I included a few of my favorite parts from the article below. https://tonic.vice.com/en_us/article/zmvwb4/eating-clean-wont-make-you-any-healthier?utm_source=vicefbus

“Meanwhile, after years of research, GMOs are agreed to not only be safe, but in many cases also more nutritious than their non-GMO counterparts, D’Orazio says. Not only has no one ever died from eating a GMO, but GMO crops are in fact a too…l that can help save many of the 3.1-million children who die of malnutrition each year. “
“At the end of the day, weight loss, gain, or maintenance is calories in, calories out,” Lowe says. Years of scientific research agrees. “Claiming something like a non-GMO or organic food will help you lose more weight is like me saying ‘what’s the alignment of the stars, and which alignment are you born under, and then I’ll tell you whether you can lose weight or not,'” Lowe says.”
