Manuka Honey Must Have Products For Back To School Season

Jump to recipe

As we near the end of the summer and get ready to say goodbye to days spent at the beach or pool, cookouts and summer camp, it’s time to start preparing for back to school season. The end of summer can feel like one giant case of the Sunday Scaries…perhaps we can call the feeling August Angst. You know what we mean - it’s the combination of feeling sad that summer is over, and excited, but also maybe a little stressed about preparing for the next season, which is a big one - fall and back to school season.

Whether your children are starting kindergarten or high school, there can be a lot of emotion, both for the kids and adults. Transitioning from summer break to the school year can certainly be challenging, between getting back into a morning and nightime routine, balancing extracurriculars and ensuring that school work and projects are completed on time.

Make the transition from summer to fall a little smoother by setting your family up for success with Wedderspoon Manuka Honey products that make your every day routine easier. Some of these Wedderspoon products may already be favorites of yours, while others may be new to you.

We’re excited to share some of our favorite uses for our products, which we believe will make your family’s school year a little sweeter!

Manuka Honey: A Versatile Ingredient

Full tummies and energized minds are key to starting the school year off strong. Set your scholars up for success by ensuring that they are eating nutritious meals throughout the day. Manuka Honey is a beneficial and versatile ingredient, offering immunity and energy. Some of our favorite easy-to-make recipes, which are perfect for school days, include:

Superfood Cacao Nut Butter Chia Pudding with Manuka Honey - A thick, creamy and filling breakfast option.

Healthy Homemade Peanut Butter M&Ms with Raw Manuka Honey - A delicious treat which would serve as a great school lunch dessert.

Gluten-Free Maple Banana Oatmeal Bake with Manuka Honey – An easy and filling breakfast that will warm you up on a cool fall morning. This recipe is gluten-free, and can easily be made vegan as well.

Cinnamon Spice Muffins with No-Bake Pecan Pie ToppingLike eating pie for breakfast!

Raw Apple Pie Energy Bites A great option for busy days. Easy, on-the-go energy.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars - A fan favorite for both kids and adults!

Manuka Honey Pops

If there is one thing we know, it’s that kids love lollipops! Our Manuka Honey Pops are always a crowd pleaser. Swap out standard lollipops, which are often filled with not-so-great ingredients and artificial colors, for our Manuka Honey Pops, which are organic and made from only simple ingredients. Keep a few variety packs (which include orange, grape and raspberry pops) in the pantry, as they will most definitely go quickly!

Manuka Honey Pops are a great addition to school lunches, or to serve as a little pick-me-up during after school activities. Not only are they delicious and easy to snack on, but they provide a natural energy boost your kids may need after a long day of classes.

A package of Manuka Honey Pops is also a great option for classroom parties. Individually wrapped, they’re easy to store and distribute. Keep these in mind for Halloween, too!

Manuka Honey Drops

With back-to-school season comes the inevitable coughs and colds. It’s no secret that germs run rampant in classrooms, so be prepared for when your kids come home with a cough or sore throat. Our Organic Manuka Honey Drops, made with a time-tested recipe, soothe the throat and relieve symptoms associated with coughs and colds.

Manuka Honey Drops are gluten-, dairy-, nut- and GMO-free, and safe for the whole family. If you are the type to put together a back to school or holiday classroom package for your children’s teachers, these are a must and will absolutely be appreciated and put to good use.

Manuka Honey Drops are available in several flavors - ginger, lemon, honey, eucalyptus and fennel cinnamon.

Manuka Honey Gummies

Available in two varieties, our Manuka Honey Gummy Supplements offer immunity and digestive support. Add daily gummy supplements into your family’s routine as you get back into the swing of things this fall. Getting your kids to regularly take these will not be a battle, we promise! They are sweet and delicious.

Our gummies are free from cane sugar, corn syrup, glucose and artificial sweeteners. Made with Manuka Honey and whole fruit, they are safe for adults and children over the age of 4.

From us at Wedderspoon, we wish you a happy, healthy and successful school year!
