NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The school year is now in full swing and it’s a busy time for families! Not only do you have to shop for back-to-school clothes, keep up with homework assignments, make sure kids have the perfect backpack and stock up on school supplies, but you also need to make sure children stay healthy! All while finding time to also take care of yourself.

For parents, this period can be both exciting and challenging, as they play a crucial role in supporting their children's success. To help parents navigate the back-to-school time of the year effectively Nutrition expert Mia Syn partnered with The Vitamin Shoppe, Lunchables, and Farm Rich Snacks to provide actionable insights to help families navigate the school year with confidence, resilience, and well-being.

Here are Mia’s top picks to help make back-at-school a success.

Recommendations for parents looking to make mealtime easy and fun

A convenient and affordable option Mia always has on hand and shares with her friends and family is Lunchables.

For over 35 years, Lunchables have been parent-approved as the #1 brand for kid meal & snack combos. As school is back in full swing, Lunchables help make mealtime easy, fun and stress-free.

As a registered dietitian, Mia loves that Lunchables provide nutrients like protein, fiber, calcium and potassium—nutrients many kids are often deficient in. For example, the Turkey and Cheddar Crackers Stackers Snack Kits provide 13g of protein and include turkey slices, cheese and crackers.

Lunchables are available nationwide in conveniently packaged single-serve kits, serving as a delicious option for families any time of day including lunch time, after-school sports practice and more.

The go-to for after-school snacks
