Well done on surviving the first weeks of the school year. Whether you’re embarking on a new journey into a new school or still at the same place, you certainly felt all the feels that come with back to school. And for high school kids we realize that feeding a teenager is a whole new ball game that we are still figuring out, hence Lunchbox Guide 101!

We all understand that we are what we eat – and that healthy children are happy children. Kids are also never too young to learn about nutrition and build healthy eating habits- all this for a balanced lifestyle, and optimal energy and learning levels.
