The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA), through their non-profit Foundation for Fresh Produce, has developed 10 fruit-and-vegetable-forward breakfast recipes for K-12 school foodservice programs.
The recipes include on-trend, kid-friendly foods, while also spotlighting new ways to incorporate vegetables and fruit into school breakfast offerings. The IFPA toolkit includes nutrition and crediting info to assist with meeting meal pattern requirements, while also providing guidance on how to serve the recipes in a variety of settings, including grab-and-go and breakfast in the classroom. The recipes also align with proposed USDA updates that aim to limit added-sugar in school breakfast.
IFPA is encouraging schools to make one or more of these recipes during National School Breakfast Week, March 4-8, 2024.
More info about the recipes and toolkit is also available here.
