SunButter Offers Allergy Friendly Options for Back-to-School

When it comes to gearing up for back-to-school, SunButter, the maker of premium nut-free sunflower butters, has you covered with tasty products and unique recipes that are not only hassle-free, but are school-safe and allergy friendly. Whether you're looking for a nutritious breakfast before running out the door, a protein-filled lunch, a quick dinner or afternoon snack, SunButter offers a versatile, must-try food that can be enjoyed alone or used in a variety of recipes. Plus, it's free of the top eight food allergens, including peanuts, tree nuts, soy, dairy, eggs, wheat, fish, and shellfish.

"With 70 percent of K12 schools having policies about restricting or even prohibiting peanuts on campus, SunButter is an ideal school-safe protein to pack in any kid's lunch," said Justin LaGosh, director of sales and marketing at SunButter. "SunButter features a delicious roasted sunflower seed taste that will keep the kids satisfied and the parents pleased, providing a new twist on a traditional PB&J lunch or weeknight meal."

A recent survey conducted by SunButter found that nearly 70 percent of respondents value protein and taste when packing a kid's lunch, and 53 percent find it difficult to make lunches that are tasty and healthy. Recent research conducted by University of California, Berkeley suggests that healthier meals could raise student achievement by about 4 percentile points on average, so creating a meal plan with nutritious options ahead of time can help families provide healthy and tasty meals every day. Here are five simple recipes from SunButter to help get you started:

• SunButter Baked Oatmeal CupsAvoid chaotic mornings with these make-ahead muffins that are packed with wholesome oats and bananas.
