Prepare Kids for School with a Healthy Lunch
Chicago public schools are back in session January 8th, after a holiday break full of hearty holiday meals and sugary treats. We love classic family desserts, but it's time to start off the New Year with a healthy step in the right direction now. Although it can be easy for families to slip into unhealthy food habits, with some practice, you can steer your child toward healthier choices. Kids who nibble on nutrient-rich foods from a young age are more likely to maintain those good habits later in life. It's always better to work on making healthy changes as a family. Your child should know that you're all in this together. Isola Imports is ready to help you and your family do their best through the power of eating good food!

- Incorporate fruit into the meal with one of Isola's colorful Casa Giulia friut preserves. They are made with the highest percentage of fruit for a truly authentic taste. With no added sugar they are sweetened only with agave juice and the natural sugars in the fruits, giving them a pure taste that your family will certainly notice.
- More of a veggie family? Kids will have fun popping olives into their mouths, and you can rest assured that they are benefiting from the numerous health benefits. Olives contain a substantial amount of iron, according to United States Department of Agriculture, a key factor in the formation of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen throughout the body via the bloodstream. Iron also helps to build the enzymes responsible for regulating immune function and cognitive development.
- Cheese please! Mozzarella di Bufala is Italian for a mozzarella made from the milk of domestic water buffalo. It has been observed that those cheeses made from buffalo milk are higher in calcium, protein and lower in cholesterol than cow's milk. Isola Imports is one of the only places to get authentic Bufala Mozzarella from the best makers in the world. A simple yet elegant treat that will bring an instant smile to the most discerning mouth!
