The Perfect Recipe For a Great School Year!
Because we’re so excited for back-to-school season, our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Mandy Welch, has come up with a few tips that she would like to share in order to help make mealtime planning easy as our kiddos start a new school year!
Even the smallest changes to your routine can make a world of difference.
Which of the following can work for you?
- Schedule 1-2 meal planning days per month – be sure to mark them in your calendar!
- Determine what the staple snacks/ingredients are in your kitchen. Checking on your inventory weekly can help you keep from running out halfway through the week!
- Take a moment each night to think through breakfast. What can be laid out the night before to help the morning run smoothly?
- Develop a chore system. Have your child choose what snacks to include in their lunch the night before, or have them help you pack it in the morning!
- Think through leftovers. What will be easy to pack and send your kiddo for lunch the next day? What will most likely have to be thrown out?
- Most importantly, make it fun for all!
Some great resources that can help make this process easier include:
- Meal-o-Matic with Dr. Yum
- La La Lunchbox App
- Click List/ Insta Cart / Walmart
