For many people August and September marks the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year. While lists for school supplies are being made and books are being bought, the one thing Catherine Kraus, a University of Michigan Health System expert wants people to buy in particular for the upcoming school year is healthy foods.

Kraus finds it especially important that parents make sure their children are following a healthy, balanced diet. Eating the right amount of protein, grains and fresh fruit can keep any busy student energized all day and has been linked to better results in school.

Start your day eating healthy with a breakfast that includes one serving of whole grain, protein and fresh fruit. Try avoiding too much sugar at lunch by drinking either skim to low-fat milk, 100% fruit juice, or simply water. As for dinner, making half the plate full of vegetables will not only help a child’s brain, but according to Kraus, it will help them sleep through the night.

These are all great tips to keep in mind when following a healthy diet. Amanda’s is also committed to balanced meals and great nutrition. Check out our health page and share with us the ways you eat healthy whether you are in school or not!

I’m so excited to share with the Feel Good Fast Food community that our restaurant, Amanda’s, will be opening this summer in Downtown Berkeley.

Last week we received approval from Berkeley’s Landmark Planning Commission and got our building permits, so we have started construction!

I have to say that most of the Berkeley city representatives have gone out of their way to be helpful and encouraging of our business. Perhaps because they’ll have a great new restaurant just a block from their offices. Thank you to them!

I’m so pleased with the way our architects, contractor, and the city representatives have been working together.
