Back to School Nutrition Tips

  • Pack nutritional lunches with lots of flavour, allow your children to help with food choices.
  • Breakfast is important, take the stress out of the morning by giving your kids fresh fruit smoothies.
  • Serve protein rich snacks to your children like: hummus, nuts, seeds, nut butters and rice, soy or hemp based yogurts and milks.
  • Introduce new foods; it takes a child up to 16 times to taste, accept and enjoy new foods and flavours. Keep trying.
  • Give your child a multivitamin, fish oil, and a probiotic as a start to a supplement program.
