Off To School With A Smart Start
(NAPSA) - School days generally mean busy days. And one of the first things neglected is often healthy eating...especially in the morning. Studies show children who eat breakfast perform better in school.
How can parents give kids the fuel they need on a tight schedule? The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association says frozen and refrigerated foods can provide a convenient and nutritional way to please parents and kids.
Try these great options for breakfast:
- Frozen waffles popped in the toaster can be an out-the-door option.
- Use yogurts, juices, frozen strawberries and nonfat milk to blend a smoothie your child can sip on the way to the bus stop.
- Top a toasted bagel with peanut butter for a protein-packed breakfast to keep your kid's stomach full until lunchtime.
