The school bell's about to ring, and you know what that means–it's time to dust off those lunchboxes and fuel the kiddos with snacks that are healthy and delicious! Let's snack smarter, not harder and make this school year the yummiest one yet!

It’s time to start prepping for the prep rallies and textbooks because the start of the school year is right around the corner! While the kiddos may be dreading going back after a few months having fun in the sun, some parents may also be dreading it for a different reason - finding those back-to-school snacks to keep their lunches exciting and having less food come back uneaten. A key component for learning is nutrition, even for us adults, but with 8 hours of learning all these different criterias (math, history, art, geography, among so many other subjects), having the necessary nutrition is that much more important for the kiddos developing minds! Having a hard time deciding the best snacks for your youngins? Worry not because we’ve compiled a list of great and healthy snacks that will keep your kiddo energized throughout their school days! 

Cerebelly 

Cerebelly comes from the beautiful mind of a passionate, hardworking neurosurgeon, named Teresa Purzner! She started her journey in her career by finding better ways to treat pediatric brain cancer, and her searches expanded into so many other facets of early brain development and how proper nutrition plays a big part in that, especially after becoming a mom.
