Are you serving homemade parfaits, smoothies or dips as snacks at your school? JSI has the resource for you. The new Student-Approved Snack Recipes for Schools includes thirteen recipes created by JSI to provide schools with creative snack ideas that have been tested by K-12 students to ensure acceptability.
The Student-Approved Snack Recipes for Schools have been evaluated using the JSI Recipe Tool, an easy-to-use online tool designed by Registered Dietitians at The John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition. It is intended for school nutrition programs in Massachusetts to: 1) Analyze recipes for compliance with both state and federal nutritional standards for snacks, whichever is stricter, 2.) Save and share recipes, and 3.) Print recipes, including a nutrition facts panel, ingredients list, and allergens. To learn more and get started using the JSI Recipe Tool, go to www.johnstalkerinstitute.org/rt.
