Four Easy-Peasy and Nutritious Jam Treats for Recess

It’s recess time! The bell rings and schoolchildren are thronging to the school canteen to grab a bite. While it is important for kids to eat something to provide them the energy they require to continue with the rest of the school day, it is equally important for them to be well-nourished.

 For parents, the best way to ensure that your children are chomping on wholesome treats instead of junk food at recess is to of course provide them with homemade snack packs. Usually, the time it takes to put together something nutritious and yummy is what forces parents to opt for easier and often unhealthy alternatives.

Smucker’s, a world-renowned American jam and preserve brand is here to suggest four easy-peasy yet nutritious snacks featuring its Smucker’s Sugar Free range that parents will be able to put together for their children in no time.

With the Smucker’s Sugar Free range, parents can prepare a healthy and delicious treat while gaining more time to spend with their little ones. Most importantly, consumers can trust the quality of Smucker’s products which has years of excellence behind it.”
