Protect your Privacy
 
In a world that is fast-paced and internet-based, it is becoming more and more important to protect your information. Unfortunately, there are constant threats to personal information and products, however, HotLunch.com prioritizes your students’ safety by recommending two simple steps.

1. Make sure to never post your school or campus code on the internet. You want to ensure the only people seeing your information are those that are supposed to be and aren’t stealing your private work; send your code privately.
2. Change your school or campus code each year to prevent further breaches. Protect both your kids’ and institution’s privacy by limiting the number of people that have your site’s information.

If you have questions about your HotLunch.com site’s security and privacy, reach out to [email protected].

Back to School with Breakfast
 
Nothing can beat a protein-packed breakfast. Starting your day off with protein and carbohydrates together provides not just a more satiating meal, but also gives the body a better variety of nutrition that it needs for the day ahead. Sure, eggs and breakfast meats like bacon or sausage are the most iconic high-protein breakfast foods. Pair these with toast and you have a hearty meal that’s sure to last until lunch. However, it is not hard to find other shelf-stable, easy-to-prepare protein food items to pair with your child’s favorite grains. For example, add peanut butter or sunbutter to oatmeal, frozen waffles, or a whole wheat bagel. Instead of serving plain sugary cereal, try whole grain cereals and add milk to give it more substance. For a chilly on-the-go option, blend up frozen fruit with yogurt for a well-rounded breakfast. The possibilities are endless; mix and match to create a delicious and satisfying meal to kick off the new school year.

Twist up the Textures
 
Food is meant to be enjoyed; it’s supposed to nourish your body and mind. There are many characteristics of food that create a great eating experience. For kids, especially, it is important to prepare and present as many different flavors, colors, smells, and textures as possible. There are three main textures you should try to incorporate into your meals: crunchy, chewy, and creamy. Think about biting a potato chip after chewing your soft breaded sandwich or getting a piece of crunchy granola in your creamy yogurt parfait – these both give a sense of excitement and satisfaction during a meal. Try incorporating these textures in your kids’ meals and snacks by browsing recipes and ideas at https://www.delish.com/cooking/a35375154/food-texture-explained/.
