Smoothies are a tasty and convenient way to pack in essential nutrients, making it easier for students to eat healthy on the go. Nutrient-rich foods can enhance focus and energy levels, helping students perform better in class and feel great throughout the day. Students may be interested in developing their own smoothie recipes; they can research ingredients, experiment with flavours, and even pitch their creations to be featured on the menu.
This project pairs well with garden programming and culinary clubs.
