Back to school is in full swing which means in addition to schoolwork, homework, and after-school activities it’s crunch time once that alarm goes off for preparing a healthy breakfast and lunch during the hectic morning rush of getting your children up, dressed and out the door on time.  With IQed you can prepare a nutritious breakfast and lunch for your child in seconds taking some of that stress off.  And there are many other reasons for including IQed as part of your family’s diet.  As Marcie Beth Schneider, M.D., FAAP, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee On Nutrition reminds us, "Study after study shows that those who eat breakfast function better. They do better in school and have better concentration and more energy"

Here are some tips to minimize any stress and maximize your time to provide your family a smart start for their day!

Smart Start Breakfast

For a quick and healthy breakfast mix 2 scoops of IQed into a blender cup with some water.  You can also mix a scoop or two of IQed into yogurt or oatmeal.  Another quick healthy breakfast idea is to mix a scoop of IQed with water and pour over cereal as the milk.  Sounds simple, however even if just mixed with water IQed provides complete full meal and vitamin replacement including 22 key natural vitamins and minerals, 9 ayurvedic botanicals including turmeric, soluble fiber, Omega 3's, and all the essential amino acids through its food ingredients.  

Smart Start Lunch

Prepare lunch the night before and store in your refrigerator.  On our IQed Pinterest board, we have a number of healthy lunch ideas here One fun idea is to mix Nutella with a scoop of IQed and smear on a soft tortilla.  Put a banana in the middle and roll up for a yummy and nutritious IQed chocolate banana tortilla!  One mother told us she packs her picky eater son an IQed shake in his lunchbox and he now has a healthy lunch daily.   Or try mixing IQed into your favorite flavored yogurt.  Rebakah K. says that the IQed adds the crust flavor making yogurt taste like pie!  And you can be assured you are serving your child quality food with IQed as all ingredients are certified as foods that are tested free of heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides, stimulants, preservatives, genetically modified ingredients, or synthetic contaminants.  

Smart Start Snacks

Prepare some IQed snacks that can be used in the lunch box, or for on the go.   Cut up veggies and keep them in containers in the refrigerator.  Mix a scoop of IQed into your favorite veggie dip.  You can also bake your favorite veggies into chips!  Peel carrots into thick slices.  Toss in olive oil and salt and bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.  You can coat them with cinnamon sugar mixed with IQed.  A quick cookie idea is to mix a scoop of IQed with a tablespoon of peanut butter and raw honey to taste.  Form into cookies and place in the freezer to harden.   Placing healthy snacks in plain sight your family is more likely to grab and eat them.  Here are two boards from our Pinterest page which have some snack ideas we believe you and your family will love!
