As families settle back into a routine, keeping everyone fueled and healthy does not have to be overwhelming.
Registered dietitian Mia Syn says starting the day with a high-protein breakfast sets the tone for everything that follows.
"Protein supports muscle maintenance, promote satiety, and keeps you energized between meals. Peanuts provide seven grams of plant-based protein per one-ounce serving, which is more than any other nut, along with fiber, healthy fats, and 19 essential vitamins and minerals," Syn said.
Syn also notes that research suggests regularly enjoying peanuts and peanut butter does not lead to weight gain, likely because their protein, fiber, and healthy fats promote a feeling of fullness.
For lunchboxes, Syn recommends including fruits, veggies, energizing carbohydrates, and protein. She suggests Crispy Fruit by Crispy Green as an easy addition.
"It's made with 100% pure fruit and nothing else. No added sugar or preservatives, just the naturally sweet taste and satisfying crunch kids love," Syn said.
Crispy Fruit is available in 7 varieties and comes in convenient 4-packs that are portable and mess-free.
To take the guesswork out of weeknight dinners, Syn recommends Hungryroot, a service that offers personalized meal plans and recommendations tailored to individual tastes and dietary needs. Most recipes come together in 15 minutes or less, and the service delivers healthy living essentials, from snacks to sweets to supplements, straight to the door.

Syn also reminds families that getting back into a routine means making time for personal wellness. She highlights Arki, a premium at-home red light therapy sauna that combines full spectrum infrared with a 360-degree design. Built by J Lifestyles, Arki draws on more than 35 years of infrared sauna engineering experience and a production history spanning more than 200,000 units across North America.
