We wrapped up our last afterschool program for the school year! 🎉

We celebrated at Woodward Corners Market, where the kids got a really cool behind-the-scenes tour—thank you to the store managers for making it so special!

They shopped for ingredients to build a well-balanced pantry staple meal kit to take home and share with their families or a friend. Along the way, they practiced real-life skills by scanning and paying for their items and had some fun blending smoothies too!

From label reading to taste testing (popcorn = whole grain, graham crackers = refined!) to a fun digestion experiment—our kids learned how grains fuel their bodies 💪

We even brought it to life with yoga inspired by The Little Red Hen 🐔🧘‍♀️

Meet our official black bean cookie advertisers 😂

This week we explored protein-rich foods and how they help our bodies grow strong. One fun way to boost nutrition? Adding plant-based protein (like black beans!) into familiar favorites.

The verdict from the kids: “Best cookie ever!” 💪🎉

Moments like the one we had last night with a wonderful middle school Girl Scout troop are why we’re so passionate about helping kids build a healthy relationship with food and their bodies 💚

We talked about what it means to fuel your body—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

We made smoothies, got moving, and had so much fun along the way 💃🚴‍♀️

After the meeting, one parent shared this, and it meant so much:

“My daughter absolutely LOVED the meeting… she hasn’t stopped talking about it since I picked her up. She was so excited about the smoothies, the bike, and the dancing. She even said it was one of the favorite meetings she has ever had in her life—and now wants to learn more about becoming a dietitian.”

This week we explored dairy and other calcium-rich foods—and the smoothie bikes were a big hit! 🥛🚲

The kids loved making their own smoothies, and one student even took the initiative to write the recipes down so he could make them at home!

We also learned how calcium helps keep our bones strong, and during yoga, the kids got creative dreaming up their own smoothie combinations. 🍓💪

This week, the kids explored a rainbow of fruits and veggies 🌈🥕🍓

From jicama sticks to gooseberries and pomegranate, many tried new foods for the very first time! Not everyone loved everything—and that’s okay. It can take 10–15 tries for kids to accept a new food 💡

We also played a mystery fruit & veggie game and went on a yoga adventure with The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛🧘‍♀️

Dips like ranch or guacamole can help kids feel more comfortable trying new foods!

Such a fun first week at Pattengill Elementary! 🍎

The kids enjoyed an apple and pear tasting featuring Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, and Asian pear (also called apple pear). They also made their own “apple bagels” with a variety of toppings!

Everyone shared their favorite yoga pose and favorite fruit, and many were adventurous about trying new foods like dried apricots, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.

We love seeing kids explore new foods and have fun learning about healthy eating! Check out a few photos from our first week. 🍏 🧘‍♀️

We can’t wait to start another 6-week program next week at a new Berkley school — Pattengill! 🎉

We’re also excited to welcome another Dietitian-in-Training to our team. Meet Angie! 👋

Our interns bring so much fun, creativity, and fresh ideas to the program, and we are so grateful for their help and enthusiasm!

We got another “best day ever” while at Woodward Corner Market! 🥰

We are incredibly grateful to the Berkley Education Foundation, Burton Elementary School, and Woodward Corner Market for their generous support of our program.

Thank you for allowing us to use the café space and for giving the kids such a special behind-the-scenes experience with the tour and checkout process!

We are especially thankful to Woodward Corner Market for donating the food and bags for our pantry meal kits. Because of your generosity, our students were able to learn how to build balanced meals on a budget and practice spreading kindness through food.

We truly appreciate our community partners in helping us empower kids to make confident, healthy choices!
