Healthy Back To School Eating Habits For The Family
A special thanks to Puritan’s Pride for providing the Miss Frugal Mommy blog with their products for free in exchange for an honest review!
School has been back in session for a little over a month here in Georgia and I feel as if we are still trying to get back into routine. Life can get so busy and hectic during the school year… preparing decent meals and snacks becomes a lot more difficult. With busy schedules and always on the run, we tend to rely on snacks as pick me ups throughout the day. Is this sounding familiar to you? Did you know that obesity in children has become a dominant health problem in the United States? Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadruped in adolescents in the past 30 years, according to the CDC. Obese youth are at a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases (70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular diseases) and mental health issues. Back to School for many means back to bad eating habits for the entire family because they are squeezing in meals and snacks in between activities.
For this September, National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, here are some quick tips from Kristen Schierenbeck, a nutritionist at Puritan’s Pride, a health and wellness brand.
There are some days, or weeks for that matter, where snacking on the go is unavoidable! Therefore it is up to us as parent’s to provide our children with healthy snack options. My thoughts on healthy snacking is that your children can’t eat unhealthy snacks if they don’t have the option. If there are no bags of potato chips and cookies in the pantry, then they won’t have the option of eating them. Fill your pantry with healthy, natural and organic snacks and allow that to be their only choices. I have been a mother for over nine years and have dealt with my share of picky eaters… and I tell you with all honesty… your children will not allow themselves to go hungry! If you are making the transformation as a family to snack healthier, Puritan’s Pride has an amazing selection of delicious healthy snacks. From almonds to granola… roasted coconut and gluten free granola bars, you are sure to find snacks your entire family will love.

I learned that Puritan’s Pride will price match if you find a lower price.
I am blown away by the healthy food items available at Puritans Pride. I though they were just a vitamin and supplement site!
Love the idea of stashing the good for you snacks in the front!! Its so true that when we are hungry we go with the first thing we see!! Definitely switching my fridge and cabinets around!

Purtitan’s Pride seems to have great products for family health. We are trying to be healthier this year as a family…it’s a work in progress.
I need DHEA 50 mg, as I get older. I’m glad to see that Puritan carries it!
I like the idea that you let your kids choose and plan one meal a week and maybe increase it to two days. I really think this would help them to eat.
I think I’ll try that crunch dried fruit. That looks like something my son would go for.
I like Vitamin B-12 1000 mcg Timed Release
I loved the idea of letting the child pick out a dinner to have during the week. That’s a great idea!
I have bought Puritan’s Pride vitamins and supplements for years, but never their snacks. Going to have to check them out now thanks to your inspiring review!.
I would love to try some of the toasted coconut chips! They sound delicious!
Everything looks so good!
I like getting my daughters involved in helping choose the meals.
the almonds look great and would be great for husband and I! The vitamins look awesome too!
I learned that you can save thirty percent on Nutrition Bars right now.
These are some excellent tips. I will be sure to share with my friends and family.
I like the idea of putting a vitamin on the breakfast plate so you don’t forget to take them and I love the products carried by Puritan’s Pride.
I learned that Puritan’s Pride also carried designer fragrances! Who knew?
These are some great tips–I always try to feed my family as healthy as possible.
I have always liked the way that Puritan stands behind their product. I think the company should be proud of the products that they manufacture.
