At school, we offer color and variety – fresh broccoli, carrots, jicama, cucumber, zucchini and celery as well as apples, bananas, and pears. Our school meals also include whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and low sodium foods with less saturated fat. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program offers students an opportunity to taste a variety of fruits and vegetables they may not have tried before.

Model healthy food choices at home. With your child, make a simple three ingredient Tasting Trio recipe and give it a catchy name such as Krazy Kale Salad – 2 cups of shredded kale, 2 tbsp. of dried cranberries or raisins, and 1 tbsp. of honey mustard dressing. Need a little protein? Simply add cheese, almonds or shredded chicken and enjoy!
