- Pick a day close to when your NFL team plays so that you can encourage students to wear NFL gear to school.
- Contact your local Dairy Council to see if you can use a Smoothie Bike (we got ours from the Wisconsin Dairy Council), and you will need to bring a bike from home.
- Have a team meeting to discuss plans such as funding, ingredients, where to have it, who was going to do what job duties, and what Program Advisors/teachers are going to help.
- Talk with your school nutrition department to order ingredients.
- Market your day with flyers, emails, social media, and school announcements.
- Wear your FUTP 60 T shirts on your day so everyone knows who helped make this great day happen!
- Get every FUTP 60 Student Ambassador together during your lunch time (or whenever you decide to have it) to help make your event successful.
- Let your peers get on the bike to pedal to create their smoothie creation.
Our elementary school students created a smoothie and called it the “Hurricane Hundley Smoothie”. It had frozen strawberries, bananas, blueberries, pineapple, and mango plus yogurt, OJ, and milk.
We tried it recently when we had a Packers player, Brett Hundley, come to the middle school. All of the students and each of the FUTP 60 Student Ambassadors from all of our 5 schools in the district were able to hang out with him. We showed him how to use the bike as well! He loved the smoothie and talked about the importance of dairy helping strengthen our bones. It was a lot of fun!
We love our smoothie bike!
