It is such a challenge to find fun, interesting and healthy foods to pack in our children’s lunches for school. Join us for a discussion about the best choices to help your child function and concentrate better in class. We will discuss why packaged foods are not always healthy, nor easier and you will gain some tips to help make your week run smoother. We will also discuss how to “boost” your child’s immune system before meeting all the new germs and friends in their new class!
Join us to Learn:
⦁ Effects that food dyes and sugar have on our children and their ability to learn
⦁ Why children should eat real food
⦁ What do I put in my child’s lunch kit
⦁ How to deal with the “new germs” at the beginning of school
Watch (and taste) while we make some tasty, healthy recipes such as chia pudding, hummus and healthy rice krispie squares!
