Breakfast Ideas:
- Nothing says back to school like a warm, creamy bowl of oatmeal topped with real fruit packed with healthful ingredients that make breakfast worth waking up to. This overnight strawberry honey oats bowl checks all boxes!
- Blue-Green algae provide the hue + frozen banana + succulent pineapple chunks give this SUPERFOOD smoothie its tangy taste and creamy texture. This mineral dense smoothie has all the elements to assist with cognition which is critical in learning. I vote YES!
- Dreamy, creamy chia seed pudding infused with Baobab maple syrup! It’s loaded with Vitamin C and excellent support to the immune system. Graded A+ in my book!
- Smoothies are meant to be a nutritional powerhouse, but at the same time, they should be fun, light, lively, and HAPPY. This reboot cherry smoothie bowl does not disappoint. My children love this bowl!
- Grand Rising golden loves with sprinkled oats on top!! Schedules on overload it’s time to break out the morning muffin tin for breakfast on the go. Combat busy mornings with these healthy, satisfying plantain honey oat muffins.
Lunch Ideas:
- Sandwich wraps are popular in our household. They’re simple-easy, delicious with countless filling options, but there’s something about a wrap that’s chock full with healthful fresh veggies sandwiched in between a moist flat wrap drizzled with jalapeno vinaigrette that makes our tastebuds soar.
- Vegan sunflower seed tuna salad. When lunchtime rolls around this creamy tuna sandwich will satisfy ravenous appetites and get folks fed.
- So green, So healthful, So delicious and So simple. This avocado toast is loaded with all the good-good that does the body good.
- This fiery chipotle chickpea salad is rich with a smoky, spicy taste that has real chipotle peppers throughout that make this chickpea salad delicious. It can easily be used as a chicken salad alternative with a kick.
- Move over-processed chicken nuggets! Crispy baby Bella mushrooms have replaced you with a crispy, crumbly outer layer, the inside is meaty and moist and simply perfect. For the ultimate experience, dip them in a cherry jam to heighten the experience.
Dinner Ideas:
- Curry zucchini noodles because CURRY rules! Noodles and curry are a common pairing so I thought it would be a perfect match to marry this super savory curry with zucchini noodles. Zucchini isn’t known to be a powerhouse of flavor it’s actually quite mellow with a hint of sweetness making it the quintessential conduit to complement this savory base and the perfect 30-minute weeknight option.
- More pasta, please!! This black penne pasta classic tossed with vibrant tomatoes and delicious squash will translate a lot of excitement in your mouth as you chew. The cherry tomatoes will burst to fill your oral cavity with its summer essence, while the silky sauteed squash releases a subtle sweetness just enough to get your attention. A must-have in your weeknight rotation!
- Raw Pasta Marinara! Serve it up: Plate zucchini on a vibrant red swiss chard leaf, topped with marinara sauce, and a dollop of cashew cheese sprinkled with fresh thyme is the move to get dinner started. MMM MMM MMM!
- Baked chickpeas with butternut squash in a beautiful casserole dish are the move thanks to its healthy rich, satisfying filling, and its toasted chickpea crumble. Sounds like dinner to me!
- Easy Ramen noodles without the sodium. How can any child resist these delicious green oodles of noodles loaded with vitamins A and C submerged in a bowl of broth + portobello mushrooms + green onions with a garlicky flavor? Sweet sounds of slurping will be music to your ears! 🙂
Delicious After School Snack Ideas:
- Direct your attention to these BEAUTIFUL blueberry pineapple yogurt bark because an icy treat is what your children need after a long day of learning.
- More bark, please! I hope you enjoy these chilly treats as much as we did if you’re looking for a quick and easy recipe treat to get you through those ravenous afternoons these are for you. They’re the perfect go-to snack for long busy days on the go loaded with nuts and sweet fruit solidified in a creamy vanilla yogurt base.
- Here’s the skinny on this Avocado Chocolate Pudding. It’s made with ripe creamy avocados, cocoa powder (love this stuff) pour in some maple syrup, it will be their NEW favorite. Classic Snack!
- Good Ol’ Chocolate Chip Cookies make everything alright. Have a child Learning fractions this year? Teaching fractions through baking is a wonderful way to bake and bond while tackling the challenging concepts of fractions. Why not embrace the new normal with BIG, THICK, SOFT, and CHEWY chocolate chips to awaken your inner cookie monster? Pssst…who said fractions are hard?
It is my hope you enjoy these back-to-school recipes as much as we do.
