As families settle into back-to -school routines, registered dietitian, New York Times
bestselling author, and mom Frances Largeman-Roth says healthy, convenient meal
solutions can help everyone get back on track without sacrificing time, taste, or
quality.
"I have four kids at home, so back-to-school season is hectic, but a little planning
and keeping things simple will go a long way to making your life easier," Largeman-Roth said.
Largeman-Roth, whose books "Eating in Color" and "Every Day Snack Tray" focus
on making nutritious food colorful, fun, and appealing, recommends Sprouts Farmers Market as a go-to destination for after-school snacks and simple family dinners.
"I love shopping at Sprouts Farmers Market because I can find so many great options
for easy after-school snacks and simple family dinners," Largeman-Roth said.
When it comes to specific items, she points to the store's fresh and organic seasonal
produce, including organic gold kiwi, on-the-vine tomatoes, cucumbers, and
summer squash mix.
She also highlights peachy blue blueberries, which feature a white peach flavor.
"When things get hectic, convenience is going to save the day," Largeman-Roth said.
For quick weeknight dinners, she recommends grabbing an organic roasted chicken
from Sprouts, which she says requires little to no prep.
For after-school snacks, Largeman-Roth suggests building a snack tray, the concept
behind her book "Every Day Snack Tray", starting with seasonal fruits and vegetables,
then adding items like string cheese, PB&J dippers, organic trail mix, or a deli snacker.
Sprouts also carries mochi puffs, which she recommends for picky eaters, along with
ready-to-go smoothies.
Largeman-Roth also highlighted Sprouts' viral family meals, available through
the store's app and at sprouts.com.
"You pick two proteins and two sides and it's all for under $30. You order it on the app
or at sprouts.com, and it's four servings. You pick it up at the deli counter, and dinner
is made," Roth said.
Families can find recipes and more information at their local Sprouts Farmers Market or at sprouts.com. Largeman-Roth also shares tips and healthy recipes
