3 Tips to Simplify Your Back-to-School Season

Make going back to school more convenient than it is chaotic.

From packing lunches to juggling practice schedules, going back to school can feel chaotic. But with a little prep and the right products on hand, the Chinet® brand can help ease the day-to-day hustle.

1. Simplify breakfast

Serving breakfast before school can be the biggest post-summer adjustment, but a healthy breakfast is so important when it comes to learning in the classroom. Thankfully, keeping your kids full until lunch doesn’t have to happen around the breakfast table. Perfecting on-the-go breakfasts will make your life simpler – while you’re driving them to school, they’re eating breakfast. Check out our morning meal ideas.

2. Plan for after-school snacks

When the final school bell rings for the day, snack time is on. Prep ahead by having easy-to-grab snacks on hand like fruit, string cheese and homemade trail mix. Oatmeal energy bites are another super simple yet nutritious snack that will fill them up until dinnertime. When kids are extra hungry (or extra busy), serve them in the car in Chinet Classic® bowls.

3. Stock up

As a parent you know how important it is to always have extras on hand. Before school is back in session is a great time to stock up on essentials like disposable plates, cups and cutlery—because we all know what a pain last-minute, mid-week grocery store trips are. Here is a quick checklist for what you might need.
