Parents of school-age children are dependent on the official school holidays if they want to go on holiday with the whole family. In practice, it often looks like that employees with children are given priority when planning their vacation when it comes to being able to take vacation during the school holidays.

Giving your kids snacks is not as easy as it used to be. Before examining trans fats and sodium levels, cookies and chips appeared like a fine afternoon or afternoon snack. With high levels of obesity and diabetes in children, finding healthy snacks for your children that taste good is a challenge. With a little effort and creativity, you can put together nutritious snacks that your kids will love, helping them use the energy they need to get through school.

Healthy muffins

Shop-bought muffins may dress up as healthy, but they’re mostly packed with refined sugar, fat, and sodium. Prepare a healthy alternative at home with wholemeal flour and muesli or oatmeal. Skip the refined sugar and sweeten with maple syrup. Better still, pack muffins with pieces of fruit to give them flavor. Peach, pear or apple are delicious flavors for muffins. Make carrot and cinnamon versions or wrap any kind of berry in bite-sized muffins.
