It is almost time for the kids to go back to school and for my family, it seems like the last couple weeks of summer are crazy with all our errands and activities. Being on the go so much often leads to us eating a lot of snacks both at home and on the go! Thank you to Stonyfield Organic for sponsoring this post.
Even though Isabella isn’t playing organized sports, she loves to be active and is always doing something!! Even without playing soccer, she ends up going to all the practices and games in addition to doing her own thing. With our lifestyle, fueling our bodies is important to us, and man let me be honest, it can be hard to do sometimes.
Tips For Fueling Your Kids For Back To School:
The first and most important tip is to drink lots of water. As the weather heats up at the end of summer and the first part of the school year, it is important to stress increasing water intake. My kids take a reusable water bottle to school and all of their teachers have been great at reminding them to drink more water as well.
Start with earlier bedtimes two weeks before school starts. We start to transition our bedtime from the later summertime bedtime into an earlier bedtime and wake-up time before we need to. One year, we skipped this and the first week of school was awful for everyone; the whole house was crabby.
Planning can make a world of difference in being ready for any active and always on the go family! I always take snacks with us wherever we are going. It seems no matter how short of a time we plan on being gone, we always end up being gone longer.
Lots of fruit and vegetables, both for snacks and for lunches at school, help fuel busy kids. These are easy ways to fill up and cure an urge to snack. I am thankful my kids love to eat their fruits and veggies any time of day
Stonyfield Organic has been a long-time favorite of my kids! Did you know that for a limited time, with every purchase of any Stonyfield Organic Kids or YoBaby Multipack, an additional contribution is being made to help make kids’ playing fields in America organic? I love that they are helping to bring organic model fields to over a million kids and counting. You can learn more about the StonyFIELDS Initiative -> here.
I love that Stonyfield Organic products are perfect for snack time, and they pack well for our on the go lifestyle. Did you know that they have 25% to 40% less sugar than other kids’ yogurt? Plus, they are made with no preservatives, artificial growth hormones, toxic pesticides, and no artificial flavors and colors! Further, they have lots of varieties and flavors. You can get Kids 4 oz. 6-pack of Cups, Yogurt Pouch 4-packs, Kids 3.1 oz. Smoothie packs, and Kids Lowfat Tubes. The tubes are my favorite to grab for on the go and to throw in the kids’ lunches!
