IT'S NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK #NSLW24

Fruits and veggies are an essential part of school nutrition. Ensuring that students receive the nutrients they need can be challenging, but incorporating smoothies into school meal programs offers a convenient and delicious way to meet those nutritional goals. Waring blenders provide school foodservice operators with a reliable solution to prepare fresh, healthy smoothies packed with fruits and veggies, quickly and efficiently.

Here are some of our favorite smoothie recipes from School Nutrition Association.

These are perfect for high volume schools looking to feed students quickly and efficiently. These mobile tables allow staff to load up pans on the top of the unit as well as stowing additional pans of food underneath. When you run out of one tray, employees are able to reach underneath the unit and replenish everything without additional help or trips back to the kitchen.

This is especially helpful for schools watching their labor costs.
