make your own healthy snacks

Kids meals for lunch?


Are kids meals a cheaper alternative to making your own lunches?? (The kind you buy in the frozen food section)
I find myself buying tons of different things which seem to add up and hurt our grocery budget. Since I have two that are home with me all day, we are running out of options. Eating healthy is not a big concern, because they get the nutrients they need from our dinner meals and snacks, plus vitamins. Anyone else do the frozen lunch thing???

I use to buy the lunchables when I was babysitting during the summer but they would still want more a hour later so I would create different lunch ideas during the week and put up a little listing like for example one week. Monday we had already prepared subs from foodlion three came together or I would but the big sub and cut it in three section. ($3) Chips ($5 a box) and kool-aid (.20cent pack). Tuesday we had hotdogs (.60cent), homemade milkshakes (i just blending come ice cream($3) and put in some chumps), french fries ($3) from the frozen food section. Wednesday was different culture day all I did was maybe cook some mac and cheese (.30cents box) and some type of fruit it really wasnt nothing from other culture but they love mac and cheese and fruit done different ways like strawberries (kind in the frozen food section that's like watery) and bread. Thurdays was cookie day we would bake a cookie or cake and eat that with milk (dont tell their mother lol). And Friday we would eat go to mcdonald dollar menu. two medium fries and two double cheese burger!

FRS Healthy Energy Powered Drink Mix comes in a box of single-serve stick packs. The packs are small, lightweight and easy to add to a water bottle. With just 10 calories each, they provide 250mg of quercetin in the lowest-calorie way to get FRS sustained energy. A DIFFERENT KIND OF ENERGY FRS's revolutionary blend of nutrients extends your body's natural energy, fueling you up when you need it while supporting your health over the long haul. There's no jittery feeling or roller-coaster ride - just prolonged energy that helps keep you focused and fully charged. That energy comes from our secret weapon, quercetin, an antioxidant found in foods like blueberries, apples and grapes. Its incredible ability to enhance your body's energy system is what keeps you feeling energized longer. Add a host of essential vitamins and you're ready to tackle anything from minor workouts to a major marathon. A single 11.5-ounce serving of FRS contains a healthy amount of quercetin, but one you'd have a hard time getting on your own; that is, unless you have a tendency to eat 40 apples in a single sitting. HOW TO USE FRS HEALTHY ENERGY For best results, take 2-3 servings per day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and whenever you need extra energy. Athletes take 30 minutes before exercise. THE SCIENCE OF QUERCETIN Endurance and VO2max Study: Davis, Carlstedt et al. 2009 An independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study showed that when 12 healthy, active (but not highly trained) men and women consumed 500 mg of quercetin (QU995™) in an enriched drink mix twice daily for 7 days, they experienced a 13.2 % increase in endurance and a 3.9 % increase in VO2max (a typical measure of fitness). The study has been published online in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.   Sports Performance Study: MacRae, H. and Mefferd, K. 2006 An independent, double-blind, placebo - controlled crossover study on the effect of FRS on cycling performance in eleven elite cyclists was completed at Pepperdine University and published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. The results were dramatic: a 3.1% increase in performance--one minute and 31 seconds improvement in time to complete a 30km simulated mountainous time trial.   Immune System Study: Neiman, David, Henson, DA, et al. 2007 A clinical study, funded in part by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) showed the antioxidant quercetin significantly reduced incidence of upper respiratory tract illness during the two week period following intensified exercise. Researchers also reported enhanced alertness and reaction time in athletes taking the quercetin supplement during high stress. Forty test subjects were subjected to extreme physical stress during a five week period. Half were given 1,000 mg of quercetin daily (the approximate amount in 3 servings of FRS) and half were given a placebo. Results showed:   Work Performance Study: Durak, E. and Bell, M. May 2005 During a six-week study, university employees were asked to perform their daily jobs, which required physical exertion, lifting, repetitive movements and attention to detail. At the end of the study, subjects experienced improvements in various measures of work performance, as measured in a Work Productivity Assessment Index survey.

  • Gives you sustained energy to help you be focused and fully charged
  • Fueled by quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables
  • Helps the body produce real energy, helps enhance fitness and supports the immune system
  • For best results, drink 2-3 servings per day
