The beginning of a new school year brings all sorts of stress to busy families, as they change schedules, buy school supplies and start up new routines. As a working mom of three (with one on the way!) my house isn’t any different, and it can sometimes feel like we’re all running in different directions. That’s why on weeknights I look forward to the time with my kids when we make their lunches for the following day -- complete with Frito-Lay snacks!
It’s important to me that meals and snacks are supplemented with whole grains, protein, fruits and veggies that my kids enjoy. Along with a sandwich and some fruit, Frito-Lay snacks like our SunChips Variety Mix give my kids the lunchtime variety they want along with the healthier options I want. Sabra hummus and raw veggies make a great snack, and when they need something sweet I add a Quaker Chewy Granola Cocoa bar. For an afterschool snack, our Munchies snack mix and a bottle of Propel Zero do the trick.
With plenty of options, the sky’s the limit! What are your tips and tricks for your kids’ back-to-school meals?

When can we expect large bags of your mixed nuts and fruit trail mix in the grocery stores? The small packs have been selling out at the local stores.
Thanks.

I do not know if this is related to anything that has been posted, but why are there no more 3D Jalapeno Cheddar Doritos. Please bring them back!
