A Healthy Back-to-School Breakfast Busy Families Can Enjoy
- As schools across the country ready themselves to get back in full swing, parents nationwide are also preparing. Already time-strained families are bound to get even more hectic as they'll be factoring in carpools, parent- teacher meetings and more. The back-to-school drain affects no one more than working moms, many of whom take on the bulk of school time duties such as getting the kids - and themselves ready to get out the door in the morning on time.
This time crunch has many families cutting corners wherever they can, most notably at the breakfast table. With the standard practice of sitting down to a healthy breakfast a thing of the past, many working moms and kids are simply too busy to enjoy a healthy breakfast, if they eat one at all. For those who do grab a bite, there are many quick and healthy options available such as Nestlé® Carnation® Instant Breakfast®.
A breakfast that's rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, can help today's busy families maintain energy through their hectic daily schedules - whether at work or school. With 21 essential vitamins and minerals, Carnation Instant Breakfast provides a nutritious and convenient breakfast with twice the protein of an egg and twice the calcium of yogurt.
The new Nestlé Dark Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast is a complete nutrition solution for busy parents seeking a healthy breakfast option. When mixed on its own with an eight-ounce glass of fat-free milk, Carnation Instant Breakfast will not only fulfill a daily chocolate fix, but will also provide 190 mg of antioxidants, which is more than 1/2 cup of blackberries and only slightly less than 1/2 cup of blueberries. When the nutritional drink mix is added to a wide variety of ingredients, such as peanut butter, vanilla yogurt or fruit, busy mothers and kids can easily create a smoothie that is both enjoyable and loaded with valuable antioxidants.
For a delicious smoothie, try this recipe that ensures a frothy treat perfect for an afternoon snack. Substitute regular low fat vanilla yogurt and a cup of ice cubes in lieu of the frozen variety to create an option better for breakfast.
