With the new school year upon us, it's never too early to start thinking about healthy breakfast ideas. A wholesome breakfast is essential for a successful day at school. According to AboutKidsHealth.com, a site that provides families with reliable, current information about all areas influencing childhood health and family quality of life, teachers observe that children who do not eat a fulfilling breakfast are less attentive and experience more learning difficulties than students who do. Log Cabin Syrup, the brand that recently replaced High Fructose Corn Syrup with natural sugar, provides a breakfast option that parents can feel good about!
We are proud to support parents in their effort to provide their children with a more nutritious breakfast before school, says Allison Meyer, Associate Brand Manager of Pinnacle Foods. As an iconic brand that has become a long-standing tradition for many families, we are excited to offer parents a better breakfast option.
Reformulated Log Cabin syrup can be found on store shelves across the country in Original, Lite and Sugar-Free varieties. Try these recipes to jump-start your kids' morning with these nutritious and delicious recipes:
