    First Day Back At School Prep
    First day back at school 💕
    We have a few tips. Lily and Elva approved 
    Tips
    1. Encourage water intake, avoid sugary drinks. Avoid iced drinks, room temperature is best. 💧
    2. Encourage to eat fruits at morning recess and not after lunch. According to Ayurveda fruit should not be eaten after a main meal. Avoid mixing too many different types of fruit, keep it simple. Watermelon is best eaten by itself. 🍎🍌🍓🍊🥝
    3. Avoid anything wrapped in plastic 🙂 🙏
    4. Have you tried Bee’s wrap to wrap a sandwich, reusable slide lock snack bags or Ever Eco stainless steel Bento boxes? We LOVE Ever Eco 
    5. Avoid white sugar replace with coconut sugar or rapadura sugar.
    6. Avoid white bread replace with rye, spelt, wholemeal (check the labels for ingredients). Pumpernickel bread is yummy too.
    7. For sweets and treats, we recommend homemade cookies, banana bread, carrot cakes. 🧁
    8. Dates are full of energy
    9. Filling suggestions for your wrap or sandwich cooked beetroot, carrots, green beans, cucumber, lettuce, halloumi and hummus. 🥬🥒🌶🥕🥦🌽
    10. Avoid margarines - best to use organic unsalted butter or Ghee. We LOVE Ghee (as you know).
    11. According to Ayurveda cooked and warm food is preferred. We love the EverECO food jars, they will keep your food warm for hours (available at Lakshmis shop). 🍚
    12. Home made popcorn with a sprinkle of salt or maple syrup - avoid salty chips packets 🙂
    We wish you a great start - back at school 💕
