Back to School Lunch and School Snack Ideas from Las Vegas Fruits and Nuts

Across the country this month it’s time to start thinking about going back to school!  Soon kids will be donning new backpacks and school shoes and heading out the door to face the new school year.  The return of school also brings two more traditions: school lunches and after school snacks.

This year, get prepared ahead of time with an online order from Las Vegas Fruits and Nuts!  We have a huge variety of snacks that are healthy and delicious, and sure to make the back-to-school season even better.

If you’re looking to mix things up a little this year, consider the following great school lunch and after school snack ideas:

• Tuck some healthy and delicious nuts into your kids’ lunch for a protein boost.

Once the school year gets underway, the busy schedule a lot of kids keep can get in the way of consuming protein.  For many kids, running out the door early each morning, after school practices and late night games means less of chance to be at home for well-balanced meals. Unfortunately, a lack of protein can drain the body’s energy and can even cause problems for kid’s growth.  Nuts can help kids to get the protein portion of their daily nutrition requirements in an easy and portable way.  Las Vegas Fruits and Nuts has a huge selection of nuts prepared in a variety of ways so your kids will never get bored!  Whether you choose raw nuts like our popular Brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, or almonds, select from our menu of roasted nuts, or choose nuts with a little sweetness added, like cinnamon cashews or toffee almonds, your order will be delivered fresh and fast and add variety and nutrition to any lunchtime meal. 

• Keep trail mixes on hand to provide variety, quick energy, and great taste.

Trail mix is a nutritionally balanced food that offers huge advantages over empty calorie snacks that often leave kids hungry again just before dinner.  Since trail mixes contain a variety of natural ingredients, the nutritional benefits are compounded.  Trail mix can provide protein from nuts, antioxidants from dried fruits, and fiber from seeds, all of which are vital for a healthy body.  Trail mixes are also extremely satisfying.  Particularly because of their protein and fiber content, they can satisfy a kid’s stomach all the way to dinner time!   Las Vegas Fruits and Nuts online ordering lets you choose from mixed nuts and dried fruits including our Fruit Berry Nut Mix with almonds, brazil nuts, cranberries, raisins, papaya and pumpkin seeds, our energy trail mix featuring kid-favorite peanuts, our roasted and salted sunflower seeds.  
Don’t let this school year start without a supply of health and tasty natural snacks from Las Vegas Fruits and Nuts.  Our online dried fruits and nuts orders provide you a portable and nutritious solution for back to school lunches and after school treats.  Your kids will thank you!
