Back to School Food & Supplies

When it comes to back-to-school eating, Oryana has plenty of great options for easy lunch and after school snacks as well as healthy breakfast options and sustainable food storage solutions. Here are just a few of the many products that you may find helpful and/or tasty for your kiddos (or yourself.)

Soyoung Lunch Boxes: Inspiring artwork and eco-friendly linen make these super cute lunch boxes an enlightened choice for health-conscious parents. Made with eco-friendly linen with a removable insert to make cleaning easy.

Onyx Green Eco School Supplies: Start the school year off right with eco friendly school supplies made from mostly recycled or sustainable materials like jute and bamboo.

Kleen Kanteen Insulated Food Canister in the 8oz size makes it easy to replace disposable plastic and styrofoam containers. Double-wall vacuum insulation keeps food hot (or cold) for 5 hours. Perfect for leftover soup, stew, or even hot oatmeal on the go.

Ukonserve Mini Stainless Steel Containers are a non-toxic alternative to plastic containers. These reusable plastic-free food-storage containers are ideal for packing smaller items like raisins, nuts, olives and dips.

Nature’s Path Organic Instant Oatmeal makes breakfast a snap for mornings when you don’t even have time to cook up a batch of regular oatmeal. A warm and filling breakfast to power you through to lunch.

Once Again Organic Nut Butter Squeeze Packs are super convenient for snacks on the go. Grab an apple, some celery and carrot sticks, or crackers for a simple, filling snack. Four great butters including almond, peanut, sunflower, and cashew. The oil does separate from the nutmeat so give it a little massage before you open one.

There are plenty of yogurt options out there but Naturi Organic Greek Yogurt is one you should try. The milk comes from grass-fed cows from a small co-op of family farms in Upstate New York. They come in several delicious flavors including maple, pineapple coconut, vanilla cinnamon, lemon, and blackberry.

Evol Uncured Ham, Egg, and Cheddar Sandwich is surprisingly good if you have no time to make something from scratch in the morning. Reasonably priced and you can heat them in the microwave, regular oven, or panini grill.

Nature’s Path Love Crunch Organic Granola Bars are satisfyingly crunchy and perfect on-the-go snacks. Made with fair-trade chocolate in red berries, macaroon, and peanut butter flavors.

Plant Snacks Vegan Cheddar Cassava Root Chips are made with healthy, tasty cassava root flour as the base ingredient because it’s naturally grain-free, gluten-free, and nut-free. Non-gmo and no added sugar. Slightly different and delicious crunchy vegan snack that kids and grown-ups will enjoy.

Late July Organic Mini Cheddar Cheese Sandwich Crackers are made with organic cheddar cheese and buttery crackers. They are organic, non-GMO, and have no artificial flavors or colors. Perfect for after school or to go with soup for lunch.

Organic Valley Cheese & Summer Sausage Kits: A convenient snack kit that includes stoneground wheat crackers. Comes in 3 different combinations of cheese and meat. Perfect for a quick lunch or substantial snack when time is short.

Cream Cup Dairy Cheese Curds, made locally in Kaleva, Michigan, are fun to eat because every nugget is different. No slicing needed with this cheese, just dig a few out when you need a high protein snack.

Garlic Sesame Sticks in the bulk section are the ultimate crunchy snack. Other great bulk snacks include Greek yogurt almonds, chocolate raisins, dried mango slices, banana chips, glad corn nuts, curry cashews, trail mixes, granola, dried cherries, dried figs, and many more.  

If you ever feel like whipping up a nice treat from “scratch”, consider Foodstirs Organic Snickerdoodle Blondie Mix. You just add egg and butter and it bakes up fast for an afternoon sweet tooth indulgence for little and big kids.
