A Community Taste Test Event

Topics:

Access to Healthy Foods

Friday, November 6, we held a smoothie taste testing event. The purpose was to encourage more breakfast participation and to try a healthy smoothie. We had pear, strawberry-banana, and pineapple. Students had the opportunity to rate the different smoothies and provide input on which flavors they liked. This was a great way to kick off the Fuel Up to Play 60 program.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Since we started the yogurt smoothies, we have doubled our participation in the breakfast program. With the taste test we gave an opportunity for more students to try the smoothies and provide input.
