Most parents know the first few weeks of school season and new daily routines can be hectic, and this year is especially different! From stocking up on school supplies to figuring out the school’s updated protocol, there are few unused minutes in the day.
One thing that’s particularly easy to forget is a well-balanced, protein-packed breakfast. When students have a balanced breakfast in the morning, they are more likely to pay attention and perform better on standardized tests.
Start the school year off right by giving your kids a breakfast they’ll love that also provides the protein they need to kick-start their day. Recipes like Baked Eggs in Avocado can be ready in minutes and provide fuel long past the first-morning school bell.
