About

Nothing says back-to-school better than a lunch box filled with scrumptious homemade goodies. To 'bakeover' your back-to-school routine means learning how to lighten your busy schedule with delicious, convenient recipes, spend more time with family, and give your kids the best start with snacks made with some added goodness they'll love.

Here are some simple tips to get started from the experts at Robin Hood:

The back-to-school two-step: bake and freeze – Baking allows you to freeze everything from cookies to breads, to make busy mornings a breeze. Just remember to freeze items in individual portions so you can pull out what you need anytime.

Be recipe-selective and add some goodness – A recipe like Choco-Banana Bread Bites gives you two grams of fibre per serving when made with Robin Hood Nutri Flour Blend Tastes Like White. This new blend is a combination of unbleached flour and oat hull fibre.

Making it fun means making it convenient – Baking is a terrific activity to engage the whole family – everyone has a role and can enjoy the finished product. So Robin Hood has developed a re-sealable bag using the new Grip-Lock system. It closes even with flour particles along the edges, making baking more convenient, leaving more time for fun.
