Most kids (and a lot of adults) aren’t getting nearly enough of the foods that are considered “brain foods” i.e. foods packed with nutrients that are super important for the brain like Omegas-3s and choline.

That’s because these are found in things like salmon, liver, broccoli and brussels sprouts. Yep everyone’s favorites.

In fact, the World Health Organization recommends that kids ages 4-8 get 200-250mg of Omega-3 DHA/EPA a day. When on average both kids and adults are getting about 20% of the recommended nutrition for a healthy brain. 

Brainiac® snacks aren’t a replacement for eating salmon and broccoli, but they’re definitely a great little secret weapon for getting in a boost of brain fuel.

There’s a broad and growing body of research that supports the cognitive benefits of Omega-3 fats and choline in brain development – including their impact on both learning and memory – throughout childhood and adolescence. That’s because Omega-3 DHA, EPA and ALA nourish the brain, helping neurons to grow and form new connections that promote cognitive functions. And choline is a key component of acetylcholine – a critical neurotransmitter which helps the brain send signals throughout the body and also plays an important role in cognitive functions.
