New Year = New Creative Menu!

The New Year means most of us are looking at our menus at home and at school to ensure we are making more healthy choices.  We all want to ensure we are providing our bodies with the best fuel possible to help us lead a strong and healthy life.  At our KES Clubs we need to ensure we are providing our kids with the healthy balanced meal they require to start their day off right.  Always ensure we provide lots of fruits and veggies as well as milk and a healthy grain daily.  One of the most popular menu items we serve in our KES Clubs are smoothies, kids love them!  At KES we encourage our Clubs  to serve  smoothies as it’s a great way to ensure kids are getting their daily fruit intake.

Add this smoothie to your weekly KES Club menu – we guarantee kids will love Smoothie Day at your KES Club!
