Summer changes the rhythm of family life. Kids are home more often, schedules move around, and snacks can quickly become whatever is easiest to grab.
A better approach is to make the convenient choice the nourishing choice. Pair protein with fruit or a whole-food carbohydrate, keep several familiar options visible and ready, and rotate in new foods without making every snack a negotiation.
For busy households, preparation matters more than perfection. A small amount of planning can keep energy steady while still leaving plenty of room for the spontaneity that makes summer enjoyable.
