Meal preparation for children and reduces packaged snacks

Sharing some of my ideas for children for children, especially as we are on the return to the school season. We also made a mission to reduce packaged snacks, but still stores on a pantry of essential essentials Triv Market. <- My connection gets 40% off your first order

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you are enjoying the week so far. We find our new routine with a person with homoschool + Liv takes a break from dance (though a little sad, but definitely don’t miss a 30-minute drive and back twice a day). Now that we are on the go again and we pack lunches, there are a few things I tried to do differently.

Meal preparation for children and reduces packaged snacks

– The meal is preparing a ton.

It is so useful to have a refrigerator full of healthy stacks for snacks and meals.

Here are some things I made every week:

– Fruit preparations. If there is fruit, ready to enter the refrigerator, they will absolutely eat it instead of catching at least or packaged treatment. The melons are in season and so good, so recently I pick up several different dunes (children especially like Piel de Sapo and Gold Lubenon) and chop them to storow in glass containers. I also get berries in water and vinegar for 2-5 minutes (1 part of vinegar to 3 parts of water), rinse and let them dry completely. Then I put paper towels in the bottom of the glass bowl with a lid. They take so long this! We usually do a mixture of berries: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. I also raise grapes and plums in water + vinegar in about 15 minutes, dry and store in an open glass bowl in the refrigerator. The kids will just catch fists of grapes during the day and I like everyone to eat more fruits!

– Energy snacks. Here I have pretty many different recipes on the blog (like these!) But the same parts of the cab and fluffy dates, cinnamon, little salt, vanilla extract and drizza called the syrup.

(So I don’t take photos of food for a blog lol anymore)

– Protein Prep: chopped chicken, seasoned minced beef and egg snacks

–Veggie Prep: I will cuddle and cut off the cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots. They are easy for them to serve themselves and sack in domestic hummus or guac. They also like and stand out go.

–DIP: Hummus and Guacamole are favorite fans here.

– breakfast optionsas egg snacksOvernight oats, breakfast cookies (they still love them!), Chia pudding. I also make avocado in recording for school day bfast and serve with an appellate sausage for breakfast.

– Another other thing / new / fun thing every week. This could be like a salad with a chicken or pasta, a Spanish tortilla, quiche or cold noodles with vegetables and protein that they can easily get out of the refrigerator.

– Reduce packaged snacks.

We still have our go-tos, which I will list below, but reality is that many packed snacks are expensive and do not have great ingredients. I could make 20 phenomenal domestic energy for the price of 2 small four packages in the whole food. Our lunches were a huge part of our crazy food budget and so it is easy to make them at home and adapt them for children.

Some of the packed snacks that continue to buy:

– Walnuts, dried fruit, Trail MIK

– canned beans (for Hummus!) and also like lupins blushing beans from Triv Market

– sea marks

– Gomacro Bars

-Poshi veggie pakovi

– Snack-size cheeses

– Cottage Sir

– Chia purses

– Jerk

– popcorn or sets of chips

– He shares meat – it will dig with cream cheese or Major

– Sardine. I usually make a sardine melting but the kids will eat them from the past

– Simple mills products (such as crackers, cookies and baking mixes)

Some of my favorite attacking market and healthy brands are in this post.

– Return to planning dinner and preparing as much as possible during the day.

We worked a lot of dining diners since we returned home from Spain, especially because the pilot works so much / traveling. Return to school was a blow in pants that had to start planning and making more dinners, instead of in the last minute trial meals on the home hodge. (Also, I found that I really need to plan and prepare dinners when I’m solo parenting because by the time we get home from sports, it’s time for dinner.

Some of my favorite solo parental dinners are in this post!

So tell me, friends: What are some of your home bite for children?
