New Kelloggs Canada Products Giveaway #BacktoSchool
We’re amping up ready for the kids to head back to school on Tuesday and with back to school comes lunch box ideas. At the beginning of the year I have a lot of fresh ideas to choose from to keep my kids eating healthy and excited about their lunch. Come mid November-ish ideas are getting harder to come by and the kids are getting bored. Like all kids, mine like to have a little treat with their meal but I try to include a healthier version of the average treat. Kelloggs has come out with some healthier new snack ideas to alternate through the lunch box or for after school snacks.
Instead of potato chips, try these low calorie baked Popcorn Chips; my personal favourite is the Sweet & Salty but both are very good and satisfy cravings. Special K* Popcorn Chips are a lightly seasoned, savoury snack that satisfies your craving for something salty and crunchy, with 80 calories per 20 piece serving. Available in two delicious flavours: Butter and Sweet & Salty.
Many schools have a no-nut policy but for kids without allergies, nuts can be a very good source of nutrients. Try giving your child a brain and energy boost before school with these Vector Protein Bars or after school before they hit a sports practice. With 11 g of protein per bar, Vector Protein* Chewy Bars can help you get nutrition you need for your active life. We’ve put in lots of crunchy nuts and dipped it in a smooth chocolatey coating for a sweet and salty taste and chewy, crunchy texture. Available in Peanut and Mixed Nut.
