I had the opportunity to meet our Nutrition Council on September 25th. We discussed different parts of our menus and how we would like to add healthier options for the kids. One example of a food that was added were all natural pizza bites, they were made from scratch. The bites are shaped like pizza pockets with pepperoni and cheese inside. They were yummy! The School Nutrition Staff also wanted to add in the “Lunch Box Special”, which included cheese bites, a healthy sandwich, apple slices, and an all-natural cupcake. Their hope is to have these items available to students soon.
The group from Student Council also got to taste test a few things. This was a great way to get more students aware of the possible food menu options. We tried cheese bites, small pieces of cheese in different flavors. All of the students wanted to add the new items to the menu.
Overall, I really enjoyed this meeting, especially since there was food involved. We also asked about making a survey with the rest of our team, to see if they wanted to add these foods to our menus at school. It was fun and we can’t wait to incorporate more of FUTP 60 into Nutrition Council!
