Fuel up with these back-to-school breakfast ideas!

Summer vacation is fun, but it doesn’t compare to the constant go-go-go of the school year. That’s one of the reasons breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast replenishes the body’s glucose, helping the mind stay sharp and fueling muscles for a busy day. Without the right nutrients to “break the fast,” your kids might go to school sluggish, irritable and unfocused. Send them off with a great breakfast, and let Farmland help.

Farmland bacon, ham and sausage make it easy to give them a good breakfast they’ll love. Kids can’t resist a Breakfast Bacon Burrito, and with Farmland Fully Cooked bacon, putting one together is a snap. Ham & Cheese Biscuits made with Farmland Ham Cubes or Diced Ham is a great breakfast on the go, or try something really special: Farmland Sausage Wafflewiches!

In addition to helping the mind and body get fired up for a new day, breakfast can also help improve weight management. A good breakfast helps curb hunger through the morning, so your kids won’t have the urge to snack.

And don’t let the day end when the final school bell rings: keep the kids busy with after-school activities. It can be simple and active, like tossing a Frisbee® or playing catch with a football or baseball. An activity as simple as playing Hangman with sidewalk chalk will stimulate the mind. Or, go for a walk with a camera and see if you have any budding photographers.

So just forget the idea that life’s boring for a kid during the school year. Start the day out right and keep their minds and bodies chugging along right up until bedtime!
