It’s October and the kids have been back to school for a little over a month. They started the week after Labor Day here. It seemed everyone had already been in school forever by the time they started. My daughter was starting Preschool and my son is in Pre K. I can’t even fathom that I will have a Kindergartener next year. It really does go by all too fast!
Excited on their first day!
Since my son is in Pre K he gets to stay for lunch twice a week. Wow. He LOVES staying and chatting with his friends. I am so happy my kids genuinely enjoy school. They are sponges and enjoy talking about their days when I ask. Since my son can pack his lunch twice a week, it’s important to me that he eats and drinks a healthy diet even at school. He very much enjoys leftovers and turkey sandwiches as opposed to peanut butter. I also pack him Horizon Organic Milk boxes for his drink and he very much looks forward to having a chocolate or regular milk with his lunch. Yum!
This back to school season, nationally recognized nutritionist Elizabeth Somer and Horizon Organic, a leading organic dairy brand, partnered to create a back-to-school resource called “5 Lunch Needs and 50 Ways to Please” that helps parents and kids make smart, nutritious lunch box choices. The easy-to-use tool, which you can find attached, outlines the five main food groups and 10 kid-approved lunch box ideas under each category. The idea is for kids and parents to use the tool together each week to pick and pack balanced lunches.
Horizon believes the choice for a healthy family and a healthy planet should be an easy one. Horizon offers a delicious variety of certified organic dairy products to satisfy a broad range of consumer needs. Horizon’s commitment to a healthier planet includes offsetting the energy used to produce its products with clean, renewable wind power. Horizon works with over 600 active and transitioning family farmers across the U.S. Founded in 1991, Horizon remains committed to providing great-tasting dairy products that make it easy for moms to provide nutritious options for their kids.

Milk labeled “ultra-pasteurized” has a longer shelf life, and will usually display a sell-by date of several weeks away.
I learned that Horizon Organic, more than 20 years ago, helped pioneer the organic dairy movement and became the first company to supply organic milk nationwide.
There is 8 grams of protein in a lunchbox milk.
They don’t just offer milk, but a wide variety of other products such as cheese, eggs, butter and sour cream.
