School Nutrition has
never been this easy, fun
and affordable!

Make back to school fun and healthful with Blue Bunny® CoolDaze® CN Approved Novelties and Treats!

Good eating habits offer lifetime of healthy choices
A 12-Month study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, confirmed that nutrition can positively influence cognitive development in schoolchildren.1 You can help your children and adolescents do their best in school by offering healthy meals and snacks. And in so doing, you will be helping your students make better life choices with an impact that may affect them their whole life long.

Most studies in the past have focused on deficiencies in single nutrients in younger age groups. Yet the brain continues to grow and develop all through childhood and adolescence.2 That’s why it is so critical to offer kids nutritious meals and snacks that will enhance their development and promote healthy living all through childhood and into adulthood.

By offering CoolDaze® from Blue Bunny, you can offer your kids better choices and still offer the meals and treats that they love.

Blue Bunny® CoolDaze® meets school nutrition guidelines across the board
Every item in the CoolDaze® lineup offers great tasting products your kids love and still meets school nutritional guidelines.

CoolDazeEach has less than 35% total calories from fat, with less than 10% of total calories from saturated fat, fewer than 35% added sugar by weight, less than 230mg of sodium per serving in 3.0 fluid oz. And with 8 total items, to choose from there is enough variety to keep kids engaged all school year long.

Beyond that, we’ve enhanced CoolDaze® products with nutrients and calcium kids need to build strong minds and bodies. Products like Orange Sherbet, with ¼ cup of real orange juice serving in each cup. Or Low Fat Sundae Crunch Bars, enriched with calcium for a low fat, nutritious snack. Check out the complete line and see which items fit your program best.

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.
