It's summer too... and kids are rushing full speed to get back to school, where they spend almost a third of their day, and their demanding daily schedule.
Let's make this unpleasant period of adjustment for our children, tastier and more beneficial by preparing healthy snacks that will give the little ones energy, fill them up, be healthy and of course delicious.
We must not forget that childhood is a particularly critical period for the proper physical and mental development of man. Apart from the fact that children, due to development, have special needs for energy and nutrients, in childhood the eating habits that usually accompany us throughout our later life also develop...
Snacks at school are the A's and Z's, as they are essential to refueling children with energy and nutrients to tackle their admittedly demanding schedule. However, it is often a "nightmare" for parents, who have to deal with the taste demands of the little ones on the one hand and the "sirens" of canteens on the other, who do not always have options for a healthy snack.
But what is a healthy snack?
What provides important nutrients that our body needs, such as carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, is answered by Welder Papagiannis OLYMPOS, so that the daily snack at school or at home is a nutritional bomb of flavor and nutrients together.
With super spreads, tahini in various flavors, nut butters, pastries, halva and nut bars that give energy and valuable nutrients, to start the new school year deliciously and energetically!
Papagiannis OLYMPOS is a company whose products are famous for the taste and quality of the raw materials. It started in 1949 as a family business producing sesame halva, but over the years it has added to its range a very wide variety of products that come from from 100% ground natural fruits, without the addition of salt and sugar and without preservatives.... Tahini in different flavors (natural, with cocoa, with honey, with stevia, whole, organic natural and with cocoa), a series with 14 different flavors halva which are also available in the form of an individual bar, great spreads which children obviously love (smooth and dark chocolate peanut butter, tahini cookie, hazelnut praline with stevia), nut creams (almond, cashew, hazelnut, pistachio and 4nuts), pastels which we also find in individual packages and finally the new series with nut bars in two flavors: chocolate and apple and cinnamon.
One could say that the OLYMPUS products they are synonymous with healthy cake, offering a wide variety of alternatives and combinations that all that is needed is imagination from parents on how they will use them every day, sometimes as spreads for sweet toasts, sometimes in cakes, pan cakes, crepes, in smoothies, even in imaginative recipes for cookies or even Thessaloniki pretzels with tahini and honey!
And don't forget, healthy snacks at school are important because:
- It helps children to acquire healthy eating habits. The eating habits we acquire as children follow us throughout our adult lives, and are the foundation stone for a healthy life.
- It contributes to the better regulation of blood glucose. In addition to helping with concentration, it also helps keep kids from getting too hungry and has the energy they need to play. When we eat after being extremely hungry we eat voraciously, we cannot control the amount of food we consume and we end up eating more than our body needs.
- It contributes to the correct and complete development of children. Children have increased nutritional requirements because they are growing. Their diet should be balanced to cover all their energy and nutritional needs and to enable them to grow to their genetically predetermined maximum. The snack can cover 25% of the children's daily nutritional needs and in this way the children can finally meet their increased nutritional needs.
