August means the end of the summer for most kiddos across the US. That usually means many trips to the store to stock up on new school supplies, clothes, backpacks and more from the endless list of things that kids need. While you’re out at the store, we recommend sticking to the actual school supplies list, rather than also stocking up on packaged snacks and breakfast items. It takes a little more time to craft those homemade goodies, but the taste and quality will be something the whole family appreciates. We’ve gathered up a little list of our favorite healthy, quick, nutritious and delicious recipes that are perfect for kids of all ages! We hope that you’ll give one or two of these recipes a try…who knows, they might become your go-to items to meal prep each week!
While each of the recipes in this list is easy and quick, we recommend bringing the kids into the kitchen to lend a hand! It’s important to teach kids where their food comes from, and you can also make the most of a little extra bonding time before they’re off to school during the weeks to come.
