Meal Inspiration For Busy School Days

We’re kicking off week 2 of the back-to-school season with another selection of breakfast, snack and dinner ideas to make it easy for you and your kids to be happy and nourished throughout the school day. This week, we’re highlighting hispanic cuisine with classic sheet pan fajitas. 

Breakfast

Pack in some protein with Veggies Made Great frozen frittatas. Pair it with a whole grain waffle alongside some fresh or frozen fruit for a quick and easy balanced breakfast!

Snack

When serving snacks, aim to combine two different food groups such as a protein or healthy fat with a fiber-rich carbohydrate from whole grains or fresh fruit and veggies. Great options include avocado on whole wheat toast, nuts and fresh berries, carrots with hummus, boiled eggs with mini bell peppers, string cheese and grapes.

Dinner

Why not make an elaborate fajita bar for dinner tonight without all the chopping and sautéing? Fresh or frozen, we make it easy for you. Take frozen chicken breast strips, a frozen bell pepper medley and mix it all together with olive oil and seasonings and pop it in the oven. You can also grab a fresh pre-seasoned chicken and veggie fajita tray at our stores for another quick option. Once cooked, set out some whole wheat tortillas alongside some guacamole, fresh limes, pico de gallo and shredded cheese for colorful toppings!
