With much anticipation, it’s already that time of year – back to school! As your kids anxiously await their first day of school, we know you may be bustling around stores stocking up on new clothes, school supplies and lunchbox essentials. Between helping your kids with their science fair projects and attending football games, the school year can be hectic. That’s where Cascade Ice has you covered! Back-to-school is the perfect opportunity for our sparkling water to keep your kids happy and healthy! You’ll for sure want to stock up on Cascade Ice with our great tips for lunchboxes and afternoon snacks.
Lunchbox Necessities
When packing lunches, your children may have unique preferences. Whether they like their sandwiches sliced down the middle or into triangles, with or without crust, there is one thing all of your kids will agree must be in their lunchbox– Cascade Ice!
We like to ensure when packing lunches for our kiddos that they have a well balanced, healthy lunch so they won’t be forced to make swaps around the lunchroom. Our favorite is to pair a wholesome sandwich such as this chicken B.L.T. with fresh fruit and an all-natural granola bar. Our 7 oz. bottles of Cascade Ice fit perfectly into lunchboxes and are a fun way to top off a great lunch!
After-School Snack Attack
When your kids get home from school, they’ll probably need to refuel with a snack before getting started on their homework. You can prepare a snack that your children will be sure to love, without sacrificing the healthy nutrients all growing kids need. It’s as simple as slicing up an apple and serving it with all-natural peanut butter or pairing fresh mozzarella slices with grapes. Add in it a refreshing Cascade Ice sparkling water like this McIntosh Apple flavor, and they will be all set!
Whether your kids are starting school for the first time or transitioning to a new school, they will appreciate your hand-packed lunches and will look forward to afternoon snack times paired with Cascade Ice. We hope these helpful pointers will inspire you to make this the best school year yet!

Happy Thursday! How are you keeping active and healthy throughout the week? To get some inspiration, we are kickin’ it with Barbara Akowuah, blogger from Examiner.com. Barbara is a health and style peruser and a lover of all things vintage. Check out her healthy living tips below!
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Healthy living is vital to living your best life. It’s important to maintain good health in general because it affects all areas of your life, from the way you think to the way you feel. Healthy living subscribes to the idea of nurturing your body so that you can be at your best performance at all times.
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
My healthy living role models would be Author and Hypnotherapist Attila J. Polonyi, and Mike Adams founder of Natural News. They both inspire me through the work that they do. They each help and encourage others to live healthier and happier lifestyles!
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
When I am on the run and short on time, my go-to healthy snack would be banana or kiwi, avocado and coconut water.
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
My advice to families is to pay attention to what you eat and the way food is being prepared. If there are any changes you can make to your diet, even if it means gradually eliminating unhealthy foods, then that would be a great start. Instead of soda, drink water. If that’s too much to pass up on then have an alternative that tastes just as great but is much better for you – like Cascade Ice!
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
I am really not a fan of raw foods so I would have to say anything that is uncooked – especially raw meats – would be off limits.
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness (i.e. sleep, relaxation techniques, fitness routines)?
Exercise is essential. I noticed that when I am not exercising for lengths at a time, I have a tendency to become more sluggish and irritable. Exercise helps me to break away from negative habits and helps lifts my spirits and boost my overall confidence.
What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
I have two favorites – Lemonade and Pomegranate Berry! I like to drink Cascade Ice Lemonade along with my meals as a thirst-quencher. And Cascade Ice’s Pomegranate Berry is what I like to sip throughout the day. It’s one of those drinks you’ll see next to a pile of papers at work – it’s refreshing and keeps me alert!
