(StatePoint) With school-year routines in full gear, one element of the morning rush remains crucial: ensuring children (and their parents!) are fueled for the day ahead.<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of a balanced breakfast, from improved academic performance and cognitive function to better mood and energy levels throughout the day. Yet, according to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 25% of Americans skip this vital meal. Experts say that finding the time for breakfast has big pay-offs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you\u2019re a busy parent or a student headed back to the classroom, your morning meal does not have to be overly-complicated or elaborate,\u201d said integrative registered dietitian and gut health nutritionist, Dahlia Marin of Married to Heath. \u201cStarting the day with a variety of colors, high fiber carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats will feed your inner-ecosystem of gut bugs, resulting in stabilized blood sugar levels, sustained energy, and mental clarity rather than a brain, body and gut scattering to constantly find their next short-lived energy fix.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of tight schedules, many families seeking breakfast options understandably end up turning to packaged products or skip the meal altogether. While convenience can help families adhere to a breakfast routine, it’s important to be mindful that the nutritional value of these items found in the supermarket can vary tremendously. Avoiding ultra-processed foods, which play a role in rising rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, is a great start. This is where brands like Amy’s Kitchen stand out: as the leading organic frozen food company, Amy’s is revolutionizing the breakfast game with its new line of innovative, delicious frozen breakfast offerings. By swapping traditional eggs for their signature house-made organic tofu, Amy’s has created a collection of morning classics that cater to a variety of dietary lifestyles and restrictions.<\/p>\n

According to WISEcode data, after scoring 100 frozen breakfast foods from more than 20 household brands, more than 40% were categorized as Super Ultra Processed Foods. The good news? Better-for-you options are available. In fact, three of Amy\u2019s Kitchen products topped the list as some of the best frozen breakfast options in terms of processing: the Tofu Scramble, the California Scramble and the Mexican Scramble\u2014aligning with the brand\u2019s emphasis on simplicity and fewer processed ingredients.<\/p>\n

As families navigate busy weekday mornings, the convenience and delicious taste of Amy’s Kitchen’s frozen breakfast options provide a much-needed solution to the morning rush. By delivering protein-rich breakfast favorites that can be easily prepared to eat at home or on-the-go, parents and students will be empowered to start their day off right, fueled and ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead.
