We had a bit of a banter the other day about our top three back to school must haves and after a fair bit of oh this needs to be on the list and oh no that needs to be on the list we finally agreed on three.

Top of the list would be a good quality Probiotic such as Viridians Children’s Sybiotic, Bio-Kults Infantis or the Udos Infants or Children’s blend. There are so many benefits to using probiotics but first and foremost they are super important to the healthy functioning of your little ones immune system and so back to school time is an ideal time to begin including probiotics. Probiotics have also proven beneficial in the treatment and prevention of allergies and can also help with skin conditions such as eczema.

Next up is Almond Butter (or any nut butter of your choice). Almond Butter is really versatile and nutritionally rich being high in protein which will keep little bellies fuller for longer, whilst also providing healthy fats, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium. Add some to a breakfast smoothie, spread on toast with sliced banana for a fantastic energy boosting breakfast toast, add to homemade energy balls or just spread between two slices of apple for the ultimate apple sandwich – any way you like it’s delicious and healthy.

Third on our list has to be Theraneem’s Shampoo and Body wash. Neem has long been used as a preventative and treatment for the dreaded head lice (we hate to mention them). However regular use of this shampoo and body wash (twice a week) can be a really effective deterrrant while also being a great product for sensitive scalps.

So there you have our top 3 must haves for any home with school going kids and all that’s left to say is here’s to a great
school going year!!
