I am still in shock, but the start of school for us is next week. I am sending my oldest to the big bad world of Kindergarten and think that I may need a stiff drink with a Valium chaser to make it through the day. The funny thing is…he will probably head straight for the classroom and never look back.
Epicurious has some suggestions for healthy snacks to put in their lunches or even for after-school. They have separated into three separate sections, “Fruity”, “Crunchy and Savory” and “Cookies and Bars”.
Fruity snacks include Kopali Organics Dark Chocolate Covered Mulberries:
”These are superfancy Raisinets,” proclaimed ten-year-old William. The dark chocolate and mulberries are packed with antioxidants, and 20 pieces have just 140 calories and 3.5 grams of saturated fat, making them a great snack for kids and adults alike. Plus, Kopali Organic uses only fair trade, organic ingredients. The company also makes dark chocolate–covered bananas, goji berries (a very of-the-moment superfood), cacao nibs, and espresso beans, though the latter two are probably best reserved for Mom and Dad’s lunch box because of their caffeine content.

From Peanut Butter Pretzels to Odwalla Bars they have some great information to help you put together some great lunches for your little ones this school year. Read more.
I hope you and your child enjoy kindergarten. It is hard to send them off to school. My kids are now 17, 16, and 10, but I remember each first day of school clearly.
Good luck!
