Back-to-school season is here, and mornings can feel like a sprint from the moment you wake up. But a healthy start doesn’t have to take a lot of time, or a lot of effort. With a few simple steps, you can set the tone for a focused, energized, and balanced day.
Here’s your 3-step back-to-school wellness routine to keep you and your family feeling your best.
Step 1: Start with a Smoothie, No Blender Needed
When mornings are hectic, a quick smoothie can be your best friend. Our organic smoothie blends mix instantly with water, plant-based milk, or juice, no blender required.
Why it works:
-
Gives you a nutrient-rich start in under a minute.
-
Naturally sweet and plant-based, so kids love it too.
- Boosts your 5 a day intake
-
Easy to take on-the-go in a shaker cup.
💡 Pro tip: Try Berry Spark for focus on school mornings or Tropical Awake for a burst of energy.
Step 2: Take a Mindful Moment
Before the day takes over, give yourself (and your kids) a few moments to breathe and reset. Even 60 seconds of mindfulness can reduce stress and improve focus.
How to do it:
-
Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
-
Take three slow, deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
-
Think of one thing you’re looking forward to today.
This quick practice helps everyone start the day feeling calm and ready to take on challenges.
Step 3: Pack an Easy, Healthy Snack
Fuel between meals matters, especially for kids with long school days. Freeze-dried fruits make a perfect grab-and-go snack: no added sugar, mess-free, and full of natural flavor.
Great lunchbox options:
-
Apples for crunch and sweetness.
-
Goji berries for a chewy, fiber-rich bite.
-
Strawberries for a tangy treat.
💡 Pro tip: Pack them in a small reusable container to keep them fresh and portioned.
