Big break - Organic energy for school life
Organic energy for school life
Be it a slice of bread or an open sandwich - sandwiches are as important for kids as maths and English. As school demands a lot from the kids. Concentration for an extended period, more and more new subjects, sitting still the entire morning. Varied organic snacks are exactly the right thing for the kids.
"I want cress on it!" Like a small rubber ball says Jasmin excitedly as she jumps around the kitchen. The six-year old has already had her first school day. Today, there are real lessons at last - including a long break. And for this, the little girl definitely wants bread with something on it she likes. Her sister Sophie is already putting some vegetable margarine onto a slice of pumpkin seed bread. "Depending on how much time we have in the morning, the girls sometimes make their sandwiches themselves," says Sabine, her mother. For sandwiches that kids have made themselves will not be left wrapped in the satchel.

But kids are not always interested in what adults call "healthy, nutritious food". They "eat" with their eyes, nose and then with their mouth at the end. Sandwiches have to look appetising and smell good – and taste good, of course. Despite this, housewives pay attention to what they give their kids for school. In the end, learning, sitting still and paying attention demands a lot of energy from them. And this energy needs to be replenished appropriately during the morning.
This already starts at the basis of the sandwich – the bread. Wholegrain keeps the kids full for a long period. "I don't like it every time, although I know that it is healthy," explains Sophie firmly. In order to persuade the little wholegrain grumps, Sabine likes to combine a slice of light rye and wheat bread with the wholegrain version. Or she looks for alternatives suitable as a basis for cheese, ham or other toppings in natural food shops and at organic bakeries. Various wholegrain rolls, for example, juicy multi-grain bread with pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Or Jasmin's favourite – crunchy crisp bread with sesame or the Inca grain of amaranth. "It always cracks nicely when taking a bite."
Sophie, her sister, is already spreading something on her sandwich. Today, it is cheese – gouda, to be more exact. The golden slice lands on the buttered bread with a swing. "Ugh, I don't like cheese on my bread," protests Jasmin. "But that's mine," counters her big sister. "Then I'll make one all alone," firmly announces the smaller girl grasping a cucumber. When it comes to slicing bread, Sabine needs to help, but the six-year old handles the even spreading of the bread by herself. "Well, she has her own idea of a tasty sandwich," confirms her mother with a smile. » Vitamine bomb
