Wondering what's best to feed your kids for breakfast on band camp days? Make sure it includes lots of protein (eggs, yogurt, peanut or almond butter) and good carbs (oatmeal, blueberries, bananas, whole grains). Try to avoid sugary cereals when you can. Most importantly, make sure they start hydrating the night before, and send them with a FULL jug of cold water each and every day! (Tip: if you freeze two or three solo cups full of water the night before and use those as your ice cubes, they melt much slower than regular ice cubes, and keep your child's water cold much longer! Just turn cups upside down and run under hot water for a few seconds to release the ice!)
