The school year is upon us and it’s usually the time that I will stock up on elderbery syrup, echinachea and the like. Between flu season and germs children are bound to come in contact with at school - the math is not stacked in our favor with a sick child coming home.

Elderberry is packed with antiviral and antioxidant properties, loaded up with vitamin C and flavanoids - it is often used to help fight and limit/shorten symptoms when fighting a cold and flu. So, we had it to the repertoire come fall season!

Chia seeds are high in fiber, omega 3s, and a great quality source of protein. I find adding them to breakfast allows the boys to feel fuller longer until lunch is ready at school.  And I just love the texture when added to liquids - it has this gel like quality that‘s addictive actually.

The chia pudding is delicious and a great meal prep option as it can be made the night before for a quick breakfast the next day.

Let me know what you think!
