Serving Up A Variety of Healthy Foods!
Some volunteers like to ensure they switch things up at their Kids Eat Smart Clubs on a regular basis. They find students enjoy the excitement of not knowing what the breakfast club will be serving that day. Offering different cereals, fruits, and grain options on a regular basis is a great way to keep students interested and excited about the breakfast club. See below for an example of a 2 week menu rotation for a club. Be sure to always keep allergies in mind when creating your menu.
