As we gear up for Back to School after a year of frenzied schedules and hours on Zoom, it’s more important than ever to fuel our kids’ bodies and minds with healthy snacks to help set them up for a successful school year.

Brainiac® is a new snack brand that pulls double duty by providing delicious and nutritious snack favorites like applesauce, bars, yogurt and nut butters with added Omega-3s and choline – vital nutrients for brain health, focus and attention that are often lacking in our kids’ diets.

Brainiac® Applesauce Squeezers are the perfect school fuel – made with seasonal, non-GMO and 100% US grown apples, with no added sugar, and packed with brain and immune boosting nutrients. Each pouch has 160mg of Omega-3 DHA/EPA, 120mg of choline and 25mg of Vitamin C (100% of the recommended daily intake for kids ages 4-8). The resealable BPA-free pouches make them easy to throw into a lunchbox or bag for afterschool activities.

Brainiac® Applesauce is now available at Walmart Supercenter nationwide and comes in three kid-approved flavors: ‘Mega Apple, Apple-Cinnamon and Apple-Strawberry.
