What kids eat impacts learning
The brain is directly affected by what a person eats.3 That goes as much for snacks as it does for meals. As you know, many of your students love to snack. And while the main focus is sometimes on healthy eating at meals, doesn’t it also make sense to focus on healthy snacks, too?
One way to appeal to our students’ cravings without serving unnecessary fat is to offer nutritious snacks from Blue Bunny®. Choose CoolDaze® delicious, calcium-enriched treats made from low fat or fat free ice cream or real fruit juice.
