Stock up on Back-to-School Pantry Essentials at Rustan's Supermarket

It's back-to-school season and as kids are getting ready, we parents are also thinking by now what to prepare for them. Planning meals and snacks for our schoolers that will make them interested with good nutrition can be sometimes difficult especially when our young ones are picky eaters. We were ones like our children and it matters that we don't eat the same everyday. 

As summer vacation ends and the kids prepare to go back to full days of learning, it's time to start thinking about how to help the young ones start off on the right side of the morning, sustain energy well throughout the day, and end on a high note in the evening. Rustan's Supermarket helps parents stock up for those schooldays with nutritious and delicious meals and essentials.

Make sure that the kids are ready for their day with a good, healthy breakfast. Oatmeal is a healthy, fiber-rich option that you can mix with their favorite fruits. You can cook up a breakfast classic like pancakes or waffles with many of the easy-to-make mixes available in the supermarket.

When you're grappling with time and need to prepare a quick yet nourishing morning meal, cereal and milk is the answer. There are whole-wheat choices that come in sweet flavors for the kids to enjoy. Fruit juices are also easy to pour and will give them a boost of vitamins.

For their baon, create different yummy sandwiches with the supermarket's wide selection of breads, cheeses, and deli meats. Why not pack them a bagel with cream cheese spread, or surprise them with a sweet peanut butter and banana sandwich? You can also easily make their favorite filling meals such as mac n' cheese or spaghetti and meatballs with pastas and ready-made sauces you can stock in your pantry.

It's also a good idea to include snacks in their lunch box that they can easily eat. Fruit cups, nuts, and oatmeal bars now come in enticing flavors that the kids will be excited to try. Treat them to some cookies—every kid will be excited to see that when they open their bag. Pick out snacks that are fuss-free and can be eaten even in the bus or car.

At dinnertime, reward the kids with a homemade prepared with love. Make pizza-making a fun activity at home that the kids can join in on. Just buy  pita bread or ready-made dough and top with tomato sauce and cheeses. The kids can get creative with the toppings.

When you shop at Rustan's Supermarket, you don't just get to help your own kids get through their busy school days, but you can contribute to other children's development just by buying everyday essentials.
