Parents and kids alike are used to skipping a hearty, well-balanced breakfast in exchange for a few extra minutes of shut eye. Without the proper nutrients in the meal that starts their day, you can end up feeling unsatisfied and hungry throughout the day. Create a new habit by making time to whip up our favorite breakfast meals like Sweet Corn and Blueberry Waffles this school year! With a delicious breakfast to look forward to each morning, you’ll have no problem getting everyone up early and ready for their day.

Snacks are notoriously packed with sugar and unhealthy ingredients, but we are devoted to keeping things exciting and nutritious, so they don’t have to be! Convenience is key when it comes to snacking on-the-go for food you can take with you wherever the day takes you. Green Valley single-serve products are the perfect snacks to pack for a day full of fun. The best part? They’re gluten free and offer health benefits like increased energy, ideal for a midday pick-me-up!
