Back to school: healthy snack and breakfast ideas for little ones

With the return to school, families get back into the routine of preparing snacks and breakfasts every day. At San Crispín, we know how important it is for children to have a balanced diet that gives them energy and nutrients, while also being easy to prepare and affordable for households.
Here are some varied, healthy ideas made with products you can find in our stores:

1. Fresh seasonal fruit
The best option for a healthy, natural snack. Take advantage of fruits like apples, pears, grapes, figs, or bananas. Cut them into pieces or pack them whole, depending on the child’s age. At San Crispín you’ll find local, fresh, and organic fruit.

2. Natural or fruit yogurt + cereals
Gervais yogurts are a good quality and affordable option. Pair them with a spoonful of whole-grain cereal or oats for an extra energy boost.

3. Small wholegrain sandwiches
Fill them with fresh cheese, omelette, cooked ham, hummus, or avocado. Choose wholegrain or xeixa (ancient wheat) bread. Try to vary the fillings each day to keep things interesting.

4. Nuts or homemade bars
A handful of almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts (as long as there are no allergies) is a very healthy and energetic option. You can also make homemade cereal bars with honey, oats, seeds, and dried fruit.

5. Wholegrain biscuits or homemade sponge cake
Avoid products with too much sugar or unhealthy fats. At San Crispín you’ll find Maria Gourmet wholegrain biscuits and flours to make your own recipes at home.

6. Creative combinations
For example: fruit and cheese skewers; wholegrain bread sandwiches with banana and almond butter; or yogurt with honey and ground almonds.

Extra tips for families:

• Prepare snacks the night before to save time in the morning.
• Use reusable lunch boxes, silicone cups, and sustainable wraps.
• Involve children in choosing and preparing their snacks so they’ll enjoy eating them more.
