Reducing Produce Waste—before fruits (and veggies) expire, toss them into your smoothie recipes as a last effort to avoid lost product.
Offering On-The-Go Meals—students who want a quick meal will find smoothies more convenient than traditional meals.
Providing Meals Throughout the Day—smoothies work for breakfast, second chance, lunch and after school programs.
Serving Students Outside the Cafeteria—many schools are now serving meals in hallways and classrooms. Smoothies are easy to transport across your school.
Prepping Food Ahead of Time—smoothies can be made the day before serving saving your staff time and increasing efficiency.
Increasing Nutrition of Students—unlike juicing, blending fruits and vegetables into a smoothie retains the whole food, which leaves the fiber, minerals, and protein intact.
